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. //
