the action of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it. police dont ask people to drink. they make sure you dont drive after you drink too much. you have never seen the results or been affected by a dui have you. i wish they could stop them all. and no i am not a cop.

I am still waiting for someone to educate me and the rest of the public as to why sobriety check points are not consider "entrapment".

Oh my goodness our wonderous police chief and his band of merry donut eaters didn't have their own DUI checkpoint? No, they's rather prey on those patronizing our city's establishments than the captives coming across both bridges! Afraid they would catch on of their own, maybe?
