The sheriff said that they don't recommend citizens taking these kinds of measures to apprehend someone but in this case it did help them collar a criminal.Of course the sheriff said that. There are two reasons:
1. Actions like this tend to result in real reductions in crime. That makes it harder to justify budget increases for law enforcement.
2. An officer spent at least forty minutes picking up the trash that would have been better spent writing tickets.

Number 1 is especially true. Things like this are TRUE deterrants to crime, yet are discouraged sometimes even by prosecution, showing how bizarre this country is becoming.
