[quote]Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to classes, became Facebook friends and flirted with the other students. One 18-year-old honor student named Justin fell in love with an attractive 25-year-old undercover cop after spending weeks sharing stories about their lives, texting and flirting with each other.
One day she asked Justin if he smoked pot. Even though he didn't smoke marijuana, the love-struck teen promised to help find some for her. Every couple of days she would text him asking if he had the marijuana. Finally, Justin was able to get it to her. She tried to give him $25 for the marijuana and he said he didn't want the money -- he got it for her as a present.
A short while later, the police did a big sweep and arrest 31 students -- including Justin. Almost all were charged with selling a small amount of marijuana to the undercover cops. Now Justin has a felony hanging over his head.[/quote]
Wow. First of all, I feel terrible for that Justin kid. And this is really stupid.

[/quote] Actually it's not. Look up "bait car" on google.[/quote] Not even close to the same thing. That is using a car to catch people that are planning to steal cars. This was getting a kid to buy pot, that had no intention of buying pot to begin with. [Edited on 02.28.2012 6:36 PM PST]
