>>nor should surveillance stings be set up to entrap people.
You used the word "entrap". I don't think it means what you think it means.
Setting up surveillance of people doing what they independently decide to do on their own, is not entrapment.
Entrapment is when you interact with a target and actively convince them and/or enable them to do a criminal act that they (arguably) would not have done on their own without your prompting/enabling actions.
