If police were to stage these would that be entrapment or some such? -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:28 8
- If they did that, rounded a bunch of assholes and made them spend the weekend in jail, fine, the publicity would make thousands think again - zeitgeist Dec 14, 13:35
- no, in the same way that buying drugs from an undercover cop isn't. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 13:34 6
  - mmmmm? I'd want a lawyer's input here. If the cops put out the snapchat with the date and time..... - ty97 Dec 14, 13:47 1

  - What about when cops induce people to commit terrorist acts, as happened in BC a few years ago? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 13:36 2
    - In that case, the RCMP basically showed them how to do something they never would have been able to otherwise. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 14:15

- Flash mobs were WAY more fun with dancing. -- nm - Candie Cane Dec 14, 12:51 3
  - If the robbers would *dance* while they smashed and grabbed, police might not even get called! -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:27 1
