Reply to comment by Delicioustoilet in Luring pedophiles through fake online ads is not entrapment, Supreme Court says by tearsaresweat

No different than a bait car used to get carjackers. Not entrapment. If you weren’t planning on stealing a car and then doing so you’d never be in a bait car in the first place.

According to my long ago recollection, my criminal law prof said the problem with entrapment defense is you must first admit you committed the crime, then argue your way out of that by blaming the state.

He said that's why so many claim entrapment in front of the press but so few in front of a jury.
