According to a recent Ohio appellate case, State v. Bowshier, 2007 -Ohio- 5364 (Ohio App. Dist.2 10/05/2007, entrapment requires two elements: “the criminal design originates with the officials of the government” — check — “and they implant in the mind of an innocent person the disposition to commit the alleged offense and induce its commission in order to prosecute” — check. Sure seems like entrapment to me.

Also, if this is entrapment, I hope he seeks criminal charges and civil remedies under one of my favorite clubs when I read such jaw-dropping stories, 18 USC 242, Violation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law (normal police and gov’t immunity does NOT apply).
