A comment on Broward Co. to vacate convictions for buying crack made by Sheriff's Office. Parent comment
I think police should be held to a higher standard than the public: their training and their power (monopoly on violence) warrants that.
Something else: "provocation" is usually forbidden to law enforcement.
I think law enforcement needs provocation in order to catch certain bad behaviors. But certainly not for a victimless crime like dealing dope.
Where I think provocation is needed as a law enforcement tool: sexual harassment in the streets (like cat calling) and govt corruption.
