I've been to nola quite a bit and I don't venture off of Bourbon or Canal at night, but what is the solution to something like this?

Since these things are so damn common, would it be possible for "sting operations" where they have undercover officers walk alone in plane clothes with a group of police officers trailing him. If they walk around from 2-4 am long enough they are bond to try and get robbed a few times. This would at least put the scum bags on alert and maybe think twice before doing theses things. I mean honestly there is nothing in place to stop these things.

I know the simple answer is probably the NOPD is way to corrupt to even attempt something like this, nor do they seem to care.
