Wow...

[Squick]

In our bizzare ass legal system... I wonder if there is a loophole here:

Deputy Teri Cresswell couldn't prove Mahner was doing anything illegal without seeing him behind the wheel, so she told him to drive to the back parking lot.
I wonder if some high priced lawyer would argue that he would not have drove unless she asked him to, and he was pressured because he figured if he did not comply with the authority he would not get his stuff back.

Pretty good bet that would happen.

wow. teh smartness is with this one.

Iddn't that Entrapment?


10 points for me for using a movie title in a serious discussion.

[Glaynor]

No it isn't entrapment. Entrapment is when the police induce the defendant to do something that he had no intent to do.

I was a prosecutor in Brooklyn for a bunch of years and that thing happens quite often. The Defendant knew that he wasn't allowed to drive, but did so anyway. That is not entrapment. Entrapment would be if the officer said - here is my car. you have to drive it to the back otherwise you can't get your stuff.

He is screwed.

A good example of entrapment is when an undercover officer goes to a person on the street and says, "can you get me some drugs. This guy over there is selling the drugs but I don't want to have to go get them. Will you get them for me?" The person then goes to get the drugs, gives them to the undercover and is then arrested for selling the drugs. The person did not have any intent to sell the drugs. The police officer engaged in conduct which made the person do something he did not intend to do. The person did have the intent to possess the drugs,however.

In this case the person did have the intent to drive as proven by the fact that he drove to the station originally.

An actual lawyer plays PS?

[Chaaos]

If this was taped then it would be going on the "World's Stupidest Criminals" blooper show they have now and again.

What an idiot

It's called entrapment. I don't think this mental midget has the brains to follow through with an actual defence though. They probably have him on tape saying: "Doh huh huh yous gots me, I dun it awlright. Yuh-hup." or some shit.

[TheRagingGerbil]

See, further proves my point that only the dumb criminals get caught.

[Glaynor]

Once again, it isn't entrapment. Yeah, an actual lawyer plays planetside. Had some hysterical cases as a prosecutor. I've found that most criminals get caught because they are stupid. People would try to bring drugs, guns and weapons into court, only to get arrested at the metal detectors.

Also, people who weren't allowed to drive drove to court all the time. I had at least three cases where we followed the guy to his car, only to get in a drive. They didn't get very far.

It is very important to distinguish motive from intent. Motive is your mental reasoning to do something (i.e. he drove in the car when the officer told him to in order to get his belongings back). Compare that to intent which is your meaning to do something (i.e. i pick up a glass because my intent is to ge the glass; or with this guy - my intent is to drive the car so he entered the vehicle, started the ignition and drove).

It isn't entrapment.

[martyr]

i hate metal detectors above all else.

The guy drove there in the first place soo..... doubt it! 8)

Here are a few of the funniest cases I ever had:

Person gets arrested and they do a anal search (it was legal). They find fifty crack vials up the guys ass. His statement to the cops when they found it - "I don't know what that is and I don't know how they got up there"

Another case: Cops are called because of a domestic dispute. They get to the home and the man answers the door. He has a big welt on his forehead. The husband apparently bought his wife an anniversary gift and she didn't like it. So she hit him with it. The wife was still screaming when the cops got there. When the cops asked what she hit him with she pulled out, from a wrapped giftbox - a 8 inch, three inch wide dildo. It fell on the cops foot and he threw out the shoes after that.

Another case - a woman shows up to arraignments (where bail is set) and tells court officer that her husband was arrested for PL 230.03. She asks what that is and he refuses to tell her. He points her over to me and asks me the same question. I see the court officer laughing. I tell her I don't know. You see, that is the crime for patronizing a prostitue. We both knew that but didn't want to tell her.

Guy goes before the judge, and wife is sitting in front row. She hears what he was arrested for and goes BALLISTIC. Judge says he is going to release the husband but the husband asks to go into jail for a few days. The wife screams, "you betta not go to jail, cause your ass is mine. What is that whore gonna give you that you don't get at home. You know I take good care of your punk ass and you go to a whore." Everyone is laughing and the judge releases the guy, stating "No punishment I can give you is going to be worse than what you get at home". As the guy walks out of court, his wife is beating him with her purse. I don't think he is ever gonna go to a hooker again.

These are true stories - I have hundreds more

Glaynor, I think you should start a funny lawyer story of the week thread. :lol:

Revoked for life... a punishment worse than death.
