No, for the reasons I've stated before. Everyone caught on the show was given a chance to defend themselves in court. The entrapment defence never worked.


The fact that the courts are permissive towards police misconduct doesn't mean that misconduct doesn't occur. Unless the argument is that a third-party actually did the entrapping, although that *still* seems like a massive civil rights violation.

So because they were less likely to be able to smooth talk a child, this makes their behaviour less concerning somehow?


The fact that they wouldn't have been able to get that far and therefore cause no harm is a pretty huge consideration, as you're locking up people over a non-offense. So if you're more concerned with locking up people for being willing to commit a crime should the stars impossibly line up correctly rather than because they're an actual threat, mission accomplished.

The other three steps prior to that aren't damning enough?


They're completely different charges so... duh?
