Entrapment Laws and the Internet

[Tots]

damn but then couldn't they could get you for hiring a prostitute? lol I would like to figure out a safe way to buy weed off the internet or in the mail, but I don't think such a way exists. If you know a way message me on aim or just post how to buy weed safetly online.

Entrapment is a concept really hard to prove. Example would be some undercover cop woman asking you to get some weed, and you were hesitant to do it, then they offered you a blowjob to do it. That's entrapment. You might not do any drugs at all, but an offer for a blowjob would entice a lot of people to do something they normally wouldn't do.

Yeah that's when it's entrapment, not when you sound hesitant but do it anyway

[Myth1184]

Before you do anything, smoke the person out. A cop can't break the law during an investigation. If they decline, "Ahhh, I just smoked.....No thanks....etc.", I wouldn't have any further discussions. Ideally, you'd want to do that before meeting to make the deal. This way, if it really is a cop, you go down for a joint VS. going down for a joint AND some herb.

Undercover cops arent allowed to commit FELONIES, getting high or smoking a crack rock to bust you or your supplier, they will do. Entrapment is just some1 making you do something you wouldnt wana do. Say some1 wanted to buy pot from you over the internet, IF you go and meet them, your busted dude.

The real answer is that entrapment occurs when the government actor originates a criminal design, implants in an innocent person's mind the disposition to commit a criminal act, and then induces commission of the crime so that the government may prosecute. If all these elements exist--and you can convince a judge or jury that they do, then you can defend yourself with an entrapment defense. Good luck. :thumbsup:

It would be entrapment, lol lots of para smokers on ere? ive seen Police posts on here today already.
The Old Bill would have to be pretty desperate to come on here and entice minor smokers into a bust, if its a problem surely a disclaimer could be put on entrance to the boards.
I know other sites do this (torrents).

Besides i bet there are Police on here ..................who smoke.

gotta be.

I want to be a police officer.

As far as the internet goes, LE is more concerned with online pharmacies (rx diversion) and sexual predators than low level pot distribution.

I'd ask for the blowjob up front, then head off to get the pot and never return. Heh.

hehehe that's pretty funny.

I think (this is opinion, not fact) That being the law is on an officer's side, they can pretty much do what they want to bring the person in, be it by the book, like I'm sure (hope) most officers do, or whatever way they see fit, and then make up the rest to make it fit.

In the eyes of the court/law, the officer is the person they're going to side with, unless you've got hard evidence that says otherwise.

Its not entrapment, period. Popos can and will do anything and everything to take you down. If you can, run. Whats worse, felony flee or poss. w/int. to sell? If you cant run, bribe with what ever you have. Most cops are criminals themselves. What are they going to do add a bribe charge to the growing list of drug charges. Last time I got poped, I had somewhere between $600 and $900 in my wallet. They came and got me and yanked my wallet real fast. The money never showed up on the seized list. I made this statement about run or bribe on this board before so I guess they were ready this time, they just helped themselves and took me to the pokey. I even overheard the chief popo tell the tribe that I was a runner and to watch me real close. In the real world there is nothing called entrapment or an innocent person, ask Rodney King. You are guilty, unless you have enough money.

You are guilty till proven innocent. Thats the way of the all righteous popos
these days.whos watching them?No body knows about there wrong doing till
some body like you or me take a stand and sue the shit out of them,and turn there lives up side down.law suits get the new services to look at

Sure you can buy weed online... and even have it mailed. Is it "safe", not really. But imo you run similar risks buying on the street, unless ur lucky enuff to have someone you trust to deliver etc. But even then, ive known long time "friends" to roll on each other in rough times.

When dealing with "illegal" substances, nothing is 100% safe.
