[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][b]Posted by:[/b] spartain ken 15 That is stupid. The police tricked him into committing a crime. [/quote] Trick or no Trick, he was still very willing to commit the crime.

You know, how is it legal to ask a kid to get someone an illegal substance. If the kid never smoked it and she got him to buy it, wouldn't that be the cops fault?
-
That's not cool on so many levels. And illegal probably.
-
Yeah this is why I don't trust cops. Never let a cop into your house if he/she doesn't have a search warrant. [Edited on 02.16.2012 6:02 PM PST]

That sucks, poor kid.

That is stupid. The police tricked him into committing a crime.

Good job cops. You just got an innocent kid to do something stupid for someone he liked and trusted, and was then quickly betrayed.
-
This is a bunch of bull-blam!- and the undercover cops should be ashamed of themselves.
-
I'm okay with this. But Pot should be legalized, at least in small amounts.
-
I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Baiting someone to commit a crime is illegal if I remember correctly.
