Here's what they lose: they tip their hand. Look at all the logistics involved. They paid off the ticket dude, they took over at least two booths. Had to divert traffic, etc. They left a lot of tracks doing that and no doubt drew attention from the feds or police. I can't see them setting that trap up anytime they thought Sonny "might" come running without his bodyguards.
