objective entrapment

Read a random definition: advice and consent

A quick definition of objective entrapment:

Objective entrapment is when a police officer or government agent tricks someone into committing a crime, so they can later arrest and charge them. This is not allowed because it is unfair and goes against the law. If someone can prove that they were tricked into committing a crime, they may be able to use it as a defense in court. Sometimes, the government may use a private person to trick someone into committing a crime, which is called derivative entrapment. Sentencing entrapment is when someone is tricked into committing a more serious crime than they would have otherwise, which can result in a harsher punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

Objective entrapment is a legal term that refers to a situation where a law enforcement officer or government agent induces a person to commit a crime through fraud or undue persuasion, with the intention of later prosecuting them for that crime.

For example, if an undercover police officer convinces someone to sell drugs to them, even though that person had no intention of doing so before the officer approached them, this could be considered objective entrapment.

In order to prove objective entrapment, the defendant must show that they would not have committed the crime if it weren't for the actions of the law enforcement officer or government agent.

It's important to note that not all forms of entrapment are considered illegal. Entrapment is only illegal if the government agent's conduct is deemed egregious or if the defendant was induced to commit a more serious offense than they were predisposed to commit.

For example, if a person is already predisposed to commit a lesser offense, such as selling a small amount of drugs, but is induced by a law enforcement officer to sell a larger amount that carries a more severe sentence, this could be considered sentencing entrapment.

Overall, objective entrapment is a complex legal concept that involves the actions of law enforcement officers and government agents, and whether or not their conduct was legal or illegal in inducing someone to commit a crime.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
