Sadly, this isn’t unusual. Sidenote: the movie The Day Shall Come is an excellent dark comedy based on this type of operation.

This type of cops would throw in a bag of hard drugs in someone's car because they know the perp is using, but they can't find the hiding place.

They should go to jail. My personal opinion is that breaking the law as someone under an oath (law enforcement, judge, lawyer) should always face twice the punishment. Once for the actual crime and once for the audacity to do so as a trusted hand of the law and corrupting public trust.

I lived in a small town, and the cops were convinced that people were selling drugs at the Burger King.

So they had one of the new cops go undercover there for three months, and all they managed to get was some idiots who had a gram of weed and five vicodin pills. The judge threw it out and warned the town about wasting the court's time.

that sounds like a very cool judge.

He knew he had a lot bigger fish to fry than two kids who stole drugs from their grandmother to get their coworker to stop bothering them about it.

One of my favourite legal principles I don't see applied enough "de minimis non curat lex", "the law does not concern itself with trifles".

Sounds like it. I wish more people were like this.

The strictest definition of entrapment is when an LEO orders you to do something illegal; because you have to obey an order. Like if a traffic cop waves you through the intersection against a light to clear the road, they cannot then issue you a ticket.

It depends a lot on what the cops actually said to this kid, but I think there's a good chance to make that case.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

since cops can kill with no repercussions "orders" should have a broad interpretation

I‘m not well versed in the law but others said so too.
