Kid hired by cops walks into a 7-Eleven and swears he is 21 but forgot his ID at home. Clerk sells it to him. Cops arrest clerk.
This is called entrapment and is illegal. Cops can send people to ask for purchases, but can't lie or do other stuff to convince the person they are not cops.
Why is this illegal? Because it is so effective, and people are affraid that entrapment will be used to punish victimless crimes, which would be tyranny? I think entrapment should be legalized for catching certain types of criminals that we all agree are bad. Anyone know why entrapment is illegal? It would be very effective at getting rid of drug problems. I know some libertarians would really that though.
