- Probably, but what if the police just place an ad in a magazine for,
- oh say child prostitution, and give an address or phone number to
- call or write to? When the poor fool calls, he is recorded. Then further
- meetings are set up and at those meetings, they are video taped,
- recorded, and finally arrested. Entrapment? Evidently not since this
- happened in Denver not to long ago and some of the individual were
- convicted according to the news. I think you have too broad a definition
- of what entrapment is, and I think examples like this provide an
- existance proof that this definitely NOT considered entrapment.
