Are LE allowed to use entrapment in the US then?

[–]autowikibot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Section 9. United States of article Entrapment:


The entrapment defense in the United States has evolved mainly through case law. Two competing tests exist for determining whether entrapment has taken place, known as the "subjective" and "objective" tests. The "subjective" test looks at the defendant's state of mind; entrapment can be claimed if the defendant had no "predisposition" to commit the crime. The "objective" test looks instead at the government's conduct; entrapment occurs when the actions of government officers would usually have caused a normally law-abiding person to commit a crime.

tsk bloody le

[–]Big_Daddy_Trucknutz 4 points5 points  (6 children)

How would drugs be any fun at all if we didn't have to outsmart pigs to get em?

[–]iShootDope_AmA 10 points11 points  (5 children)

They feel good.

[–]Big_Daddy_Trucknutz 7 points8 points  (4 children)

So does not having anything to hide.

[–]iShootDope_AmA 1 point2 points  (3 children)

This is dnm we all have something to hide.

[–]Big_Daddy_Trucknutz 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I don't see your point. Of course I have things to hide, doesn't mean it wouldn't feel pretty good not to. To be able to put my "Bad Cop, No donut" sticker on my bumper instead of laptop would be nice.

[–]TOUCHYGOOSE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

XD this is one of the best things I've read on this thread lmao!

[–]iShootDope_AmA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we might be arguing the same point.

[–]thecashblaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

simply put, if they can prove you were going to knowingly commit the crime anwyay it's not entrapment

[–]nsgiad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, because this isn't entrapment.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protip: if you don't know the person is a cop, it's not entrapment.

[–]PotionNumber25 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Intent to distribute? I assume it was quite a bit then

[–]SGuegan 1 point2 points  (4 children)

They need more than just the amount for intent to distribute to stick. Something like separated into baggies with a scale nearby, or some other evidence found when they searched his place.

[–]Big_Daddy_Trucknutz 0 points1 point  (3 children)

If it exceeded 5lbs they wouldn't since they could also hit him with trafficking at that point.

[–]TOUCHYGOOSE 1 point2 points  (2 children)

if they are ordering 5lbs at a time.. the vendor should have either refused the service or asked to break it up into several shipments

[–]PotionNumber25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the article didn't say it didn't happen. Maybe they searched his house and found a few pounds or whatever. The article doesn't say much honestly

[–]Dabinthetoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known several people to do this outside of dnm's. They would send like 5lbs in a big box in single vac sealed lb's in a blanket or some shit like that. They would get weekly shipments and usually get a couple months of shipments before they lost a package and burnt the address. I can think of it happening like 5 times maybe more and I don't think there where any cd's. Stupid as shit if you ask me but people do it.

[–]d0ntp4n1c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow....just....WOW >.<

[–]joustingthesky 5 points6 points  (14 children)

Plus, I can't believe LE went to that much trouble for WEED.

[–]dastampmasta 7 points8 points  (11 children)

youd be surprised how little suburban town cops can be... my friend got arrested for 1 gram of ketamine.

[–]joustingthesky 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Wow, really? Was this through a DNM or just something they had on them when they got pulled over or something?

[–]dastampmasta 1 point2 points  (6 children)

this was a clearnet order from india that got opened in customs and forwarded to his local police station

[–]joustingthesky 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Yeah man, I would never feel safe ordering internationally. Domestic every time for me. I think the risk of getting caught ordering domestic and not in bulk is less than 1%.

[–]dastampmasta 0 points1 point  (4 children)

yeah i dont know official percentages but i agree. i dont eever consider international.

[–]joustingthesky 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yeah, wish it weren't so. MDMA (and other things) is so much cheaper over in Europe. Not to mention there's a severe lack of good domestic (I'm in the U.S.) speed paste and ketamine vendors.

[–]datdropdoe 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I think ordering from Canada is pretty safe. Pretty good prices from some vendors over there, obviously not down to $19/gram cheap but the US domestic MDMA selection kind of sucks.

[–]joustingthesky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Canada is the only one I've considered ordering from. That said, I haven't pulled the trigger.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why would you buy speed paste over meth?

[–]demonsforryu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virginia Beach is not a little suburban town by any means.

[–]DrGre3nThumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A family friend just spend 25 days in jail in South Dakota for .5g of hash.

[–]U4IC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VA Beach is the largest city in VA though....lol

[–]aft3rm4th 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I could believe it, not every state is as "green friendly" as the rest.

[–]SeeThroughBabyBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Virginia is a bitch when it comes to pot

[–]PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_DRUGS 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Who opened his package after it got delivered to the wrong address... ?

[–]blueskykin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Yeah, isn't that a felony too?

[–]PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_DRUGS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing "it reeked of drugs" or "it was already open/damaged in transit" after whoever accidentally received it, opened it.

[–]FredericaBimmel[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It doesnt say if it really was misdelivered and someone reported it or if the cops/postal inspectors intercepted it on there own and just made the misdelivery up.

[–]PM_ME_ALL_YOUR_DRUGS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense too. We definitely don't have all the info

[–]joustingthesky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an idiot.

[–]simmerdownchildren 1 point2 points  (1 child)

This is the type of shit that keeps me up at night.

[–]Trappy_Pandora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever get a package with a note saying to call some phone number to get your drugs... Don't call, clean house and no longer keep drugs in your possession.

[–]thisisknot_eric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked in the Virginia court records it looks like he had a number of previous arrests, including felony attempted distribution of mj which I'm sure made it "easier" for LE to go through with the trap

[–]dased1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part that is amazing is that is he should have known something was up when they asked for a little money... If I received weed by accident I'd either smoke it, sell it for full price, or if I was upstanding flush it down the toilet.

[–]twigburst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a fucking idiot. He got a pass and he blew it.

[–]MrCrappy57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory- fwiw- is that they didn't feel like waiting around all day staking this guy out. The 'call this number' was a pretty creative workaround.

[–]Nate_Nintendo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty fucking sneaky. Yikes.

[–]PeyoteFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just saw something like this on cops but it was in Florida

[–]EverGreenPLO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're dumb enough to fall for that....
