  It is only entrapment if the police in the course of their duties or investigation suggest you commit a crime, or ask you to commit a crime.

    More specifically, if they convince you to do something you wouldn’t normally have done. Like if you want to buy drugs, and they suggest you buy some coke off their guy, that’s not entrapment. If they spend weeks convincing you that you should do it, give you money or other resources to do it, or so on, then it can be entrapment.

      Things like that should theoretically help you make an argument for entrapment, but it’s no sure thing

    It’s only entrapment if you’re rich.
