We all learned a lesson as children that should negate any attempt from law enforcement like this. "Don't talk to strangers." And a better word of caution. "DONT TALK TO THE POLICE"

Though the compromise of privacy rights and protections against unreasonable search, seizure and surveillance usually follows the terrorist and child-predator to activist and protestor pipeline.

NSA and FBI have always taken an interests in left wing activists critical of the current regime.

The first one yes. The others, absolutely not.

All the more reason for me to have my shit locked down and not respond to people I don't know.

Like honestly I haven't had a sketchy interaction on social media for years because all my shit is private and I don't use my real name or even a picture of my face anymore.

Hey Banana, do you want to talk about violent sex crimes that I think you've been thinking about, the ones that I've been thinking you might be thinking about doing? /s

Don't threaten me with a good time

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Amen. Added to that I have an extremely common name (both actually) so even if someone were to find that out, they'd still have to sift my shit from all my doppelgangers'.

I really wanted to believe your real name is Banana.

You don't know for sure that it isn't 😏

Wait. Events are moving too fast to keep up with, now free speech is illegal. Great.

Now poorly enforceable!

Every day I'm happier I chose not to have kids.

"It's not entrapment if it isn't a person doing it!"

[–] deur@feddit.nl 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It is only entrapment if the police in the course of their duties or investigation suggest you commit a crime, or ask you to commit a crime.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

More specifically, if they convince you to do something you wouldn't normally have done. Like if you want to buy drugs, and they suggest you buy some coke off their guy, that's not entrapment. If they spend weeks convincing you that you should do it, give you money or other resources to do it, or so on, then it can be entrapment.

Things like that should theoretically help you make an argument for entrapment, but it's no sure thing

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

It's only entrapment if you're rich.
