They usually talk to a friend who is freaked out by the idea and talks to the police, who tell them to tell their friend to meet an agent in a certain area at a certain time. Undercover police look like the scariest biker guys you've ever seen, so they usually don't draw a lot of attention. Then the cop sits down with the guy, tells a convincing tale, and nobody ever sees his face and he goes by an assumed name. For the record, my dad is an ex-cop. Did this sort of shit a couple times, mostly went undercover in gangs and gained their confidence so he could stop huge sums of money in drugs from getting where they're going.
