No, it isn't. Entrapment isn't simply a matter of law enforcement having something to do with a crime. In order to use entrapment as a defense you would have to prove that the cops went to extraordinary measures to get you to commit a crime that you wouldn't have committed anyway. You'd have to prove that you had no tendency towards the type of crime and/or that you wouldn't have had opportunity to commit it. -- ____ \bi/ Richard Powers \/ rpowers@panix.com
