In practice there'd be a number of legal obstacles to overcome - a good lawyer would argue this is textbook entrapment, even if the officer himself/herself couldn't be held liable for dealing in drugs.Unfortunately, that is incorrect, at least as far as US law is concerned. It is not entrapment if you do something that you were likely going to do anyway. The undercover LE did not force you, coerce you, or otherwise persuade you to do something illegal that you would not have done otherwise.Spot on! Sadly too many people think that the police are powerless idiots. In all honesty: the police we meet on the street are the foot soldiers and many not be the sharpest knives in the drawer. But the police force as a whole include some very intelligent people and some very streetwise people. The only fool in the equation is the person that thinks they can outsmart the scientists, mathematicians, detectives, and informants employed by the authorities.It would seem the law is rather different in the UK to the US. I actually would prefer to face US Justice as you have an unmitigated right to silence, including a right against self incrimination. You also can be compelled to hand over your password or face a prison sentence. God Bless America!V.
