Maybe he's hall monitor at Reynolds, reporting every worker who uses the restroom without a hall pass? Or reporting those who smoke outside in the parking lot? It's a responsible $96K job you know.

Straight from the Department of Justice:

"A valid entrapment defense has two related elements: (1) government inducement of the crime, and (2) the defendant's lack of predisposition to engage in the criminal conduct. Mathews v. United States, 485 U.S. 58, 63 (1988). Of the two elements, predisposition is by far the more important."

"Inducement is the threshold issue in the entrapment defense. Mere solicitation to commit a crime is not inducement."

"Even if inducement has been shown, a finding of predisposition is fatal to an entrapment defense. The predisposition inquiry focuses upon whether the defendant "was an unwary innocent or, instead, an unwary criminal who readily availed himself of the opportunity to perpetrate the crime."

"Also, predisposition may exist even in the absence of prior criminal involvement: "the ready commission of the criminal act," such as where a defendant promptly accepts an undercover agent's offer of an opportunity to buy or sell drugs, may itself establish predisposition. Jacobson, 503 U.S. at 550."

Since you most likely lack the intellect to make sense of this stuff, I'll dumb it down for you:

1. Entrapment requires both "inducement" and a lack of "predisposition" to commit a crime.

2. Mere solicitation of a criminal act by an undercover agent does not constitute "inducement". It generally requires significant coercion and persuasion on the part of the government.

3. Even if inducement can be proven, it is not a sufficient condition for an Entrapment defense. The defendant's lack of predisposition to commit criminal conduct is far more important. One's readiness to commit a criminal act can by itself establish predisposition.

You simply don't understand the difference between Entrapment and "inducement". Perhaps you should spend more time reading law books and less time posting nonsense on the internet.
