Yes and no, true if the cops decide to pull a stunt like this it looks bad on the group, but if the group behaves themselves then it looks worse for the cops if they set up a "sting" and catch nothing
(Which IMO was what the organizers were hoping would happen by trying to work with the police and informing the event participants)
Imagine if the MINI club members would have been totally innocent?
Cue instant media backlash against the cops for these tactics, but all it takes is one screw up for the cops to be able to point the finger and go "See? See!"
