Don't Michigan cops have more important things to do than set up bogus sting operations on law-abiding citizens?

Shouldn't matter but at least the gun dealer made sure to be within the letter of the law.

You don't even have to be a lawyer, let alone a DA or a Court of Appeals judge, to know that this guy broke no laws. As much as I hate lawsuits, this guy should be suing for malicious (political) prosecution.

On the form the cops probably put they were buying it for themselves. If they then gave it to the minor then the cops broke the law. Since most cops are above the law, nobody was charged. Wow talk about justice.

I don't think this was much different than what I did once if the article says what I think it does except I was past any age barrier.

I got a gun for Christmas. My mom bought it. I was there and went through the background check since it was for me.

No laws were broken.
Sounds like good news from the courts.
I hope it sets some precedent.

I admire this guy for going to trial.

Most innocent people accept a plea bargain rather than put themselves through the expense and stress of defending themselves in court, which is exactly what lazy cops count on.

Confriming my notion that there isn't enough "real" crime around to justify the budgets we have.

Cut the budgets, and stop fleecing the tax payers.
