I Can’t Wait For The New NYC-TV Series “Operation Exposure”

This sting operation seems strangely satisfying to read about, mesmerizing like a bug zapper:

Subway gropers, beware — next time you cop a feel, you might be feeling a cop.

A baker’s dirty dozen has been busted for rubbing, grabbing and flashing women on crowded rush-hour trains in a new undercover sting dubbed Operation Exposure.

The 13 MetroCads didn’t realize their victims were undercover officers, police said, because the cops were posing as businesswomen.

“These four women were dressed as any other woman on the subway,” a source said.

The 13 suspects were charged with forcible touching or public lewdness, while a 14th was nabbed for grand larceny — all during the morning and evening rush hours of May 23 and 24, Transit Bureau Chief James Hall revealed yesterday.

“In a 36-hour period, we locked up 14 men,” Hall told the New York City Transit Riders Council.

“It’s not robbery, it’s not pickpocketing, but to me, this is a heavy quality-of-life crime.”

Operation Exposure was created in response to an increase in complaints by women, many of whom have fought back by snapping camera-phone pictures of the subway perverts and posting them online on blogs such as Hollaback.

The undercover cops rode the numbered lines in Manhattan during rush hours, sometimes spotting the gropers — and sometimes falling victim to them.
