    1. There's plenty of surveillance state stuff going on these days, but this is NOTHING OF THE SORT.

      A bunch of crimes happen, and people report them to the police. So the police decide it's a good use of their time and resources to watch the place where these crimes are happening. Lo and behold, Lajuan and Davonte (was there ever any doubt?) are caught in the act and are now going to trial.
