One of my students has written a paper that may answer some of your questions, Online Stings: High Tech Entrapment or Innovative Law Enforcement?, by Jeffrey D. Weinstock http://www.law.miami.edu/~froomkin/seminar/papers/weinstock.htm other student papers on Internet topics can be found at: http://www.law.miami.edu/~froomkin/seminar/papers/ Note: these are *student* papers. Not everything in them is exactly right. And no, I won't tell you their grades. On Mon, 6 May 1996, E. ALLEN SMITH wrote:
