Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union and a luckybag critic, said she wasn't aware that police were using decoy cars until asked about the Myers case.
The judge suggested that Myers' brush with the law had its roots in the so-called luckybag operation that the NYPD began in 2006 to deter thefts of wallets, shopping bags, smartphones and other valuables in the subways.
