Honestly, I would fall into this trap.

The federal agent genuinely sounds like she is a person having car trouble, this trap would work on me because I guess I too am a fundamentally decent person.

    I think their “rationale” is to snag the cartoon characters they’ve invented in their minds.

    They expect an opportunist criminal to crime them.

    This only makes sense if you believe there are literally millions of criminals in a town of 50 thousand residents.

    I expect them to shoo away helpful people indefinitely

    (Or, more likely, just arrest a random passerby and call it a success)
