* A more literal application of the trope happens in one episode of ''Series/WithoutATrace''. A young looking woman poses as underage bait, a fledging, wheelchair bound unofficial cop (an accident prevented him from getting a badge), and a cameraman (who was later revealed to [[RapeAsBackStory have been raped during a home invasion when he was 12]]) set up a sting operation to catch paedophiles, a la ''ToCatchAPredator''. Unlike the Chris Hanson manned operation, this version is more vigilante based and not exactly full proof to prevent people from escaping, which one guy managed to do. The cop goes after him, and gives him a ReasonYouSuckSpeech, which [[DrivenToSuicide drove the pedophile to shoot himself with the cop's gun]]. To [[ItGotWorse make things even better]], when the cameraman realized the cop was about to tell the police about what happened, he tried to kill him to shut up, though was unsuccessful. By episode's end, the cop survived the assault but by killing the cameraman.
