Let $\rho$ be a $\mathscr{F}_t$ stopping time. Then how do we show that $\mathscr{F}_\rho = \sigma(\cup_i (\mathscr{F}_\rho \cap \mathscr{F}_i))$?
I can show this if $\rho$ is a bounded stopping time, since each $A \in \mathscr{F}_\rho$ is $\cup_i (A \cap \{\rho \le i\})$, and $A \cap \{\rho \le i\} \in \mathscr{F}_\rho \cap \mathscr{F}_i$.
However, if $\{\rho = \infty\} \neq \emptyset$, then I am stuck. I would greatly appreciate any help.
