How often police set things up to make arrangement to make arrest but failed?

In movies and tv shows, it always say police planning works and catch bad guy. Get teams swats to bust drug/trafficking organizations.

But I mean in real life? How often? Maybe half of time police did all arrangements and sets things up which turned out failed?

Example: Pimp told undercover police that he has a girl who kidnapped from South America and he can meet him at motel to have sex with her. Turned out it's empty at motel. Pimp create a lot of safeguards processing to be sure it's a real person not undercover police?

So police got screwed at the end. How often?

    NEVER. They don't schedule arrests. They SOMETIMES arrange for the person to surrender themselves at the station.

    IF someone claimed they were a pimp, that alone is sufficient grounds for an arrest and the police would not be in any hurry to finish the paperwork necessary to release the person.

    Apparently you have little understand of Police "set ups."

    Just so I have this straight, you think an Officer pretends to be a john, sets up an appointment to meet the hooker and then shows up at the hotel/motel in full uniform accompanied by his fellow Officers and the pimp says, "I knew it was a Cop."?

    Or do you think the Cop shows up in plain clothes as do other Officers OR the cars/Officers stay far, far away until the customer Officer indicates a deal has been struck.

    I rather highly doubt the average pimp refers to the hooker as someone he KIDNAPPED from somewhere else.

    You watch far too much TV.  Don't quit your day job.
