yeah, this is no good, and it's frustrating because the agent provocateur is a tactic the state uses (it was something bismarck's secret service first used against socialist revolts in germany) and stuff like this has the effect of discrediting the suggestion when it's actually legit. the balance of probability is that the cops are using similar tactics in the area, but be careful what you post, please....
