Charge baiting 

When a person (particularly a cop) decides that they don't like your demeanor or you as a person, so they say & do things to elevate your emotional response to make you slip up and do something stupid, ultimately leading to you behind bars.

"Yo have you watched that one bodycam video on Code Blue Cam I linked you?"

"Yeah that cop was 100% charge baiting the dude"

Red-Baiting 

A logical fallacy that consists of making an accusation that some person is a communist, often with the aim of discrediting them. It can also be used to discredit an idea. It's most used in politics, often by right wingers when discrediting anything slightly left leaning.

Red-Baiting can be boiled down to: "Anything I don't like is communist!"

algo baiting 

The act of falling for algorithmic bait and spiraling into unplanned doomscrolling, pointless replies, or emotional engagement you swore you’d avoid. You came for one thing—now it’s three hours later and you’re arguing with a stranger about toaster settings.

I wasted my whole afternoon on X, algo baiting over some dumb hot take.
