A covert or overt psychological tactic in which government agencies, law enforcement, or affiliated actors deliberately provoke a targeted individual into reacting—often in anger, fear, or self-defense—with the intent of discrediting, arresting, institutionalizing, or silencing them. This manipulation is executed through harassment, intimidation, and staged confrontations, all under the protection of state authority.
Often used against whistleblowers, activists, or individuals involved in litigation against the government, state-sanctioned provocation relies on surveillance infrastructure, informants, and coordinated setups to generate false narratives of instability or aggression. (noun)

After filing a federal lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department, Juana experienced state-sanctioned provocation when 50–100 bikers swarmed a major intersection near her home, attempting to block her vehicle and bait her into reacting—with police stationed just 50 yards away.
The day before her criminal case was dismissed, a man—believed to be connected to a corrupt officer—stood outside her home and covered her kitchen window to provoke a confrontation. She remained silent, filmed the act, and refused to give them the reaction they were fishing for. Classic state-sanctioned provocation.
On her way to court, a man in an elevator used a gang stalking app to signal her presence, then pretended not to know what it was. Another time, a motorbiker followed her, smashed her side mirror, and fled—while police refused to take the report, despite video evidence. All signs of state-sanctioned provocation designed to derail her legal case.
