Ahhh yeah, I'm well aware of the law, hence my suggestion they had their sights on someone who may already be involved in those activities, however it was joke and now that I need to explain it, its not so funny.Quote:

A lot of 'stings' don't work because of entrapment laws and ones where they troll an internet forum in the hopes of finding some sap doing something wrong would be a huge waste of resources the MNR doesn't have.
Now putting a robot deer on the side of the road and catch idiots who shot it...well that might be considered entrapment but far more of the evidence gathered is self incrimination. HaHa...
If you lay down like a sheep they will do as they please. The choice will be yours. If that time comes I'd rather die fighting back like a lionQuote:

I have a successful past history with those types of operations and they're very effective. Assumptions that street-level law enforcement doesn't "keep an eye" on forums,threads and websites like these is a mistake. National security intel-gathering units absolutely survey all sites for threats against government figures and can act quickly to mitigate threats. That's why it's very prudent to take great care on what one posts on these social media sites.Quote:

Benny Hill or not, it happens.
He has a number of other tales that might surprise you too.

Happens all the time including other teams doing the same in different departments. ..
People are out to lunch if they dont think they pose as others or just make up stories for others to open up on. They cover the entire internet on all forums and other sites. There is always a dummies who talks to much.
Where are the drug cops same place as you doing the same thing .drinking beers and shooting the sh in a pub or club .
