John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
I'm surprised to read a 6-page months-old thread with people claiming the UCs were trying to initiate transactions, without one response mentioning the word "entrapment."
The wiki article on the concept leads off with: In jurisprudence, entrapment is a legal defense by which a defendant may argue that he or she should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because he/she was induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit those acts. For the defense to be successful, the defendant must demonstrate that the police induced an otherwise unwilling person to commit a crime.
In other words, if an officer initiates in illegal contact, the defendant can argue that they would not have been in the situation save for the officer's actions. And probably get it dismissed.

1st - the 6 page long thread - hmm - most of it is us being fairly silly about the whole situation - sure there are some serious posts - like yours - but I have to say again - Spooky is the only narc I know and I am not sure why he was there because we all know there are no druqks at Bonnaroo.
2nd - the defendant can argue all he wants about entrapment - but unless he has some really good credible witnesses to the situation - the cop will still win in court
when I was way out of it, wearing a t-shirt that said "big fun" as well as sunglasses at midnight and a suitcase people kept asking me for drugs. They probably weren't narcs, and looking back at it I did look exactly like a dealer, but people can get annoying when they want drugs and you don't have any for them.

The only thing close to that I experienced was a guy looking for some blow. Of course we said no and went on our merry way but he gave me the creeps regardless. I really think that unless you're the one moving the stuff that you'll be okay. Cops really cant offer it to you or it is entrapment and I think you could find plenty of witnesses at Roo to back you up.
