That's entrapment. It's illegal

The FBI does it all the time and has been for decades, especially with it's terrorism cases.

Republican legislators should pass legislation increasing punishment for federal entrapment and provide a public legal fund for victims of federal entrapment and only appoint judges that are opposed to it and will rule against it.

That's like sending a strongly-worded letter, telling them to stop. They won't.

If entrapment is already illegal, and the courts won't do anything to curtail it, getting more lawyers involved (and wealthier) isn't going to help.

Sounds like a great idea on the surface...but so does gun-control to those who cannot think cause to effect....

Capitol Police waving people into a building and escorting them inside, then accusing them of trespassing, insurrection, conspiracy, interruption of proceedings, etc. is ENTRAPMENT.

January 6, 2021 was a mass scale entrapment sting operation.

It's good to keep the pressure on and remind demoKKKrats that they are criminals.

It's better than just shrugging and saying "oh well they are above the law."

Yeah. The injustice system does treat them as though they are above the law. But let's still call them criminals to their faces.

Oh that's so cute, you think there's a legitimate law enforcement mechanism that upholds the law equally

No. I'm not that naïve.

Just pointing out to others who may not know that this is supposed to be illegal.

Law enforcement, however, illegally utilizes entrapment to setup people all the time.

Entrapment is a practice in which a law enforcement agent or agent of the state induces a person to commit a "crime" that the person would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.

It's that last part of your last sentence that is almost impossible to prove in court, thus making it almost impossible to prove entrapment.

In the case of January 6, 2021

It's silly to suggest that people would have gone inside the Capitol Building if the Capitol Police were genuinely guarding the entry ways.

Multiple videos show officers waving people inside, removing barriers out of their way, and even escorting them inside.

A good defense attorney is an honest, authentic, genuine justice system should be able to get the defendants off the charges.

Sadly, the justice system is broken as you and others have pointed out.

Legally, that's not entrapment. At least no judge will agree it is.

If they said "Lets go burn down the whitehouse" and you said "hell yeah" .... that's not entrapment.

If they said "Lets go burn down the whitehouse" and you said "I'd rather not" and they said "Burn it down or I'll burn down the whitehouse and yourhouse" - that's entrapment.

They've basically neutered it so it only counts if you're forced into it. If they suspect you would have done something on your own, or with other likeminded people, they can get away with it.

....I read up on this a lot in my street racing days, because cops would pull up to fast cars in unmarked units and rev at them.

Basically exactly that and then they arrest you at the end.
