Digg it UP - Does The Television Show 'To Catch A Predator' Constitute Entrapment?
I was watching Suze Orman with my wife today. A woman called in who is trying to reestablish credit after a prior bankruptcy. She told Suze that she had gone to a “restore your credit” seminar where the speaker taught the audience to get two secured credit cards. Secured credit cards are where you go to a bank and give them something like $500.00 and they
Yes, the ones that entered the residences broke the law. But I'm willing to keep an open mind about the ones caught in the repentive process. We are all no saints. A sin is a sin. There are no great ones. But according to the law this is not quite the truth. The law does differentiates crimes. This is precisely why a murder charge will always be v
Effective follow-up after a job interview is often a key reason why someone gets a job, even though there are other equally qualified candidates. Many candidates treat follow up as an optional add-on to their job search. That’s just not the case.There are several reasons why you should follow up.Sometimes, out of sight is really out of mind. You
I've been asked this question a number of times and after reviewing a number of segments I feel I can now address this question. Is this show entrapping people or is it a legal and fair way for law enforcement to jail potential felons?
Well lets look at the two sides. First, the side that says arrest them!
The people that feel this way says that the suspect is fully aware before hand that he's visiting or speaking over the internet with a minor, a clear violation of the law. They further say that if the 'set up' wasn't performed, this suspect would have violated a child. My opinion.... they make a good point, especially legally speaking.
The other side says, he didn't actually carry out the crime. Sure they say, he might have known it was a minor and some will even say that he might have done the act without this intervention, but the act wasn't ACTUALLY carried out. Or in other words, the crime wasn't committed. My opinion....they make a good point also.
Here is the way it is from a law enforcement standard:
He ACTUALLY broke the law when he entered the residence. First, probable cause ( see my other articles on this subject ) to arrest him was first relevant when he spoke knowingly with a minor about sex. This is the point that hurts him. It's not that he 'chats' with a minor that hurts him, it's the sexually spoken content with a minor. If there was no sexual discussions there is no intent to commit a crime, at least not clear intent of a sexual crime. So my answer is, the arrest is valid based on the law.
Now having said that, here is my problem. It is the arrest of the FEW who arrived at the house, parked for a few minutes, and then leave. Can not a person have original intent but changed their minds? Is it really neccessary to arrest him? In other words, can we be given the chance to repent? I'm not speaking of the ones that while driving up to the residence observes an officer arresting a subject and then leaves. Or a subject who feels something is wrong and feels he might be set up. I'm speaking about true repentance. How many of you have thought of committing a crime but didn't carry it out because of repentance, fear of jail, or for whatever reason.

Do any of these situations describe you or someone you know?Jim Raster had a great year last year with an increase in gross profits of $200,000. He has a small business and operates as a sole proprietorship. His federal tax on the increase averaged 35 percent, plus another 10 percent in state income tax. He lost $90,000--almost half--to taxes. With

There’s a price to pay for everything and it applies for promising life changes as well. To a young adult that translates to college; however, a college life also has its own share of agonies, the biggest one among them being the student loans, which cause a lot of stress as the payback time draws near. These loans also influence considerably the future dec

The best policy? Avoid speaking sexually on the internet with ANYONE. You don't know who you're speaking with anyway!
