I had heard that before, but I didn't realize until I got to the very end. All I kept thinking about throughout the entire story was this is entrapment. Most people don't know that. If a police officer witnesses a drunken person or someone who has their faculties impaired attempting to get into a vehicle, they are supposed to stop the person, if it's possible. Failure to do so would be like watching an individual walk into a bank with a shotgun in their hands and simply waiting until that individual actually robs the bank.
