The FBI used a sting operation involving undercover agents buying cheese to frame Amish farmers for interstate crime.

They'll have, like, year-long stings, I've seen, on Amish people who don't even sell milk or cheese. But the government wants their property, in a famous case in Pennsylvania, another one in, was it Michigan? Oh, like Trump down by the border? Hey, now, hold on, hold on. Between a federal and state park, they wanted that land to build a road. A couple hundred acres. I've had the lawyers firm on years ago. Well, several of the Amish groups. And so for like a year, these neighbors move in and they keep begging, please sell us cheese. And finally the Amish guy goes, I'll just give you cheese. Is that an Amish accent? I'll give you my cousin in the next state. Give it to whoever you want, sonny. Interstate crime now. We've got an Amish guy. Are you sure that's not a 49er? That's a real criminal you got there, a real El Chapo. And then they come in with SWAT teams, guns, shove their heads down, everything. But see, the average jury thinks, well, they must be bad if they did this instead. No, this is bad.
