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
  - "Hey everybody, let's go commit crimes here at this time!" - and you do it, you still had the mens rea to steal stuff - Reagen Dec 14, 14:13
- hey, let's go do some crimes -- nm - Duke Dec 14, 13:38
- 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
  - If they have to persuade the people to commit the crime that's very likely entrapment. If they wouldn't have committed the crime without being - Krusty Dec 14, 14:00
