24. Stings don't prevent crime, they create crime.

Mon Aug 18, 2025, 03:06 PM

Monday

And it's not just men who molest kids, its also women.

One scenario:

An undercover cop dresses like a homeless person, using old, dirty clothes, he or she is messy, dirty hair, smells bad. They lay down on the sidewalk, with a 20 dollar bill sticking out of their shirt pocket and pretends to be passed out from a couple hits of fentanyl. Another homeless person comes by and grabs the bill out of their pocket, was this theft or entrapment?

The right answer is entrapment.
