Message-Id: <9310120547.AA26215@anon.penet.fi> From: an24519@anon.penet.fi Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 05:47:52 UTC Subject: An idea.
I suggest that it might be a good idea for people to release and sign a short bio on themselves.
If all you're worried about is entrapment, you need only ask the person in question if s/he works for any law enforcement or surveillance agency. If they lie, then anything after that is entrapment. I'm not a lawyer but I learned this from my masseuse in SLC UT, where mixed-gender massage is considered a "sex act for hire" and she was constantly subject to entrapment. - Carl

Not true. Its a common myth, though. I imagine Duncan Frissell or one of the other lawyers on the list could expand on this. Perry

Please. This is not a way to avoid entrapment. Undercover police lie all the time, and their lying does not become a predicate for an entrapment defense.

One shouldn't generalize too much from massage-parlor cases. --Mike
