Default evidence

Dear Tutor,

What the noun for the evidence collected by enticing during the investigaiton of a particular case. The Chinese could be literally translated to "trap evidence", however, I am not really sure whether it is correct or not. Thank you very much!

Smile,

Emily

Default Re: evidence

I don't know a specific term for that, but 'trap evidence' doesn't work for me. I'd use 'evidence gained by enticement', or something like that.
The closest I can get to is 'honeypot', but that is the enticement:
