Even if they didn't do anything wrong, they deserve to go to jail just for being so fucking retarded.
wow there are idiots in texas, who knew?
Don't mention [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7121025.stm/]the M word[/url] Jim lad!
Well, shit... And I'd gotten my hopes up. Luckily my new best friend the deposed Prince of Nigeria has promised me enough cash to buy as many 360s as I want!
Sorry, fail, try again. the M word
Stupid criminals are stooooopid.
Psst! 9to5 meant this.
correct me if im wrong but isnt that technically solicting a crime, which in itself is an arrestable offence, but then again that is here in Britian. Maybe your laws are more pliable over the pond?
simpsons did it.
Don't follow you there razerangel, how is it soliciting a crime? The people arrested were already wanted for various crimes and in hiding from the law, the offer of a 360 was just a trick to get them to show up where they could be arrested.
@razer: I believe you're thinking of entrapment laws, which state that an officer is not allowed to provoke someone into breaking the law with the purpose of arresting them after. No crime was committed here other than the ones they were being hunted down for.
I think this would have been better if they'd used PS3s, 2 x the stupidity factor...
@rubadub and everyone else.
Why are you calling everyone who got arrested a idiot? You would run to your nearest Gamestop if they had said you won a Nintendo Wii. No questions asked. And generalized statements like Texans are stupid is something that belongs in a Youtube video's comments. Lets grow up, this isnt grade school.
You people are making it out that these people were all murderers and drug dealers. Alot of times stuff like that is for failure to appears for traffic court and etc. They dont want to spend the time and money to do knock-and-talk warrant servings, its much easier to do it this way.
Think before you speak.
Police have been using this tactic for years. Usually it's a nice TV, and the crooks always fall for it.
There is a prime example of why these guys can't function in a society.
hahaha, Chief Wiggumm did the same thing a while ago in a simpsons episode (if i remember well, the bait was a boat or something)

Or hiding in a confessional booth. in part 2 of "Who shot Mr. Burns".

Yep they do it for everything from sporting event tickets to a brand new car. The police department my uncle works for did it with WWE RAW tickets one year and cleared up 300 warrants in about 2 hours. Nothing is free there is always a cost and some times it's 5 to 10 in the joint.
Yea, you think these guys would wise up, however, that obviously isn't happening.
Damn. If I was on the run you can be sure I wouldn't surface for a fucking game console!!
Seriously..
this is like in some movie, but that police guy saves the guy and his kid who was just going that way to a free yankees ticket thing.
XBox catches criminals, take that folding@home!
@Painuser:
From TFA: "Working jointly with the El Paso police, the marshals led a number of criminals, most of whom were wanted on drug or violent crime charges".
Let's grow up and RTFA before talking about other people's actions. In my books, if you're a fugitive, you have way better things to take care than play t3h haloes.
Think before you speak.
yeah entrampment is what I meant, surely using the ruse of a free xbox is false advertising which is again an offence. So surely they police officers are bending the law to arrest felons, which is a bit immoral.
@Mxyzptlk thanks for correcting my fail.
@everybody else- entrapment is coercing someone into committing a crime and then catching them. Just asking someone to turn up somewhere is not entrapment.
PS- all my legal knowledge is gleaned from playing Phoenix Wright and is not to be taken as legal advice.
razer: that's not false advertising. At worst, it'd be considered a bait and switch, but there's no switching taking place. Anyone can claim anything at any point in time, but you don't follow strangers into vans when they promise you candy too? Or... would you like some candy?
they did the same bit in The Simpsons only for a free boat.
"UP UP AND AWAY!! IN MY BEAUTIFUL, MY BEAUTIFUL MOTOR BOAAAATTTT!!!"
-Homer Simpson
That episode is awesome
Wow, what idiots, who would ever want an Xbox 360?
That's pretty funny to know that they truly believed that they won a free 360 without doing anything.
Haha I came here to talk about The Simpsons too.
Jeez, what dumbasses.
Hah! No Haloz for jooz!
This doesn't make for a good jail cell conversation.
"How did they get you?"
"Um, a 100 man swat team..."
haha, I grew up in El Paso.
Reprazent!
Reminds me of what Valve did to the guy that hacked them and stole the source beta code. Offered him an IT job because he was so l33t and kewl, with plans to have the FBI pick him up at the airport, but unfortunately his home country got news of the plan and arrested him first.
:(.
