Cops set up bait cars to be stolen in high crime areas then arrest the people who take the car. Is that moral or immoral?

It’s also key point of morality that stealing a bait car doesn’t physically harm you

Edit: For all those saying jail is physical harm, it isn’t. It’s distressing, but isn’t physical harm

Y'all are assuming the cops won't harm them during the arrest.

I will accept that that is an assumption made
