    Default Cops doing Controlled Sales?

    Perhaps this is a stupid question, but I was talking to some of my more moronic friends and I brought up the idea of cops doing controlled sales, just as they do controlled buys. My question is can undercover police officers legally sell you drugs, or attempt to then arrest you? My friends seemed pretty convinced it is against the law, but I don't really understand why or how it would be. Their reasoning for this was its illegal to sell drugs, therefore police officers cannot sell you drugs. However, that reasoning doesn't make much sense considering it is also illegal to buy drugs, and undercovers certainly can do that. I understand if they do do this it is probably far less common than a controlled buy, and typically they are looking to bust the source, not just a consumer. But I'm pretty curious, also I want to prove my friends wrong.

    As I suspected. I didn't think doing a reverse sting operation would count as entrapment.

    Entrapment has gone out the window at this point.
    Cops has had these on since at least the mid 90's. They want to bust everyone they can, they don't care how small or petty.

    it's only entrapment if you are told to do something or else....

    for example, if a cop tells you buy this weed or i'll fuck you up. < illegal.

    if you do something out of your own free will it's your own fault. anyways, it's usually counterfeit drug looking shit... that's why they normally sell 'cocaine' or 'rocks'... it's usually some sort of legal, drug-looking powder or rock candy....

    cops cant advertise sales of drugs and arrest you when you buy it. They can only solicit to your sales then arrest you for it. The fact that you are asking this question in the first place should be answer enough for you. If they could do it, you would have heard about it by now.

    Why can't they?
    What is to stop them from busting the corner dealer than putting there own person there to bust everyone who buys from them? They have done this and put it on TV. This is a drug WAR, and they aim to make as many arrests as they can. that is they only way the can measure their "success".

    back in the day we used to call that entrapment,,which is illegal,,,,( you are wrong by the way),,,i don't know what was done to our constitution with that but it is illegal,,,,i believe when you went to court with a lawyer beside you with any charges like that,,,,, charges would be thrown out,,,i did say lawyer,,,not just anyone,,,,, at least 1 that would be a little better than average.

    They can't do it, because it is illegal. They haven't done this and put it on TV, because it is illegal. You haven't seen it on TV because it doesn't happen.
