sting operation
law.enf., news an operation designed to catch a person committing a crime, by means of deception (e.g., purchasing drugs to catch a supplier); a typical sting will have a law-enforcement officer or cooperative member of the public play a role as criminal partner or potential victim and go along with a suspect's actions to gather evidence of the suspect's wrongdoing. // The term "sting" was popularized by the 1973 Robert Redford and Paul Newman movie The Sting, though the film is not about a police operation: it features two grifters and their attempts to con a mob boss out of a large sum of money. wikipedia.org)
