My dreams were crushed when I found out a "fireman" does the exact opposite of what the name suggests.

One of the more disturbing things law enforcement does is convince other people to carry out crimes and then nab them at the last minute. Then they want to be patted on the back for stopping something that wasn’t going to happen without law enforcement conspiring with the target. It’s weird.

Edit: Some people have responded to my comment by telling me about the entrapment defense as if that is a magic wand. A lot of people have no experience in dealing with the justice system and probably have not thought about what an entrapment defense actually means.

First, if you are arrested you either wait in jail or make bail. Even if you are innocent, your life is turned upside down. You will never get that time back.

Second, jail time means loss of income and the government may try to seize your assets or freeze your accounts. You might lose your house, car, savings, etc.

Third, legal representation is not cheap and it doesn’t get any cheaper if there’s a trial.

Fourth, what evidence are you going to present for your entrapment defense? Are you going to take the stand get cross-examined for hours or do you have something else that can be used as admissible evidence?

Fifth, what kind of bias are you going to face? Are you in front of a “tough on crime” judge that will rule for the prosecution as much as possible? Is the jury prone to believing you’re guilty because the authorities said so? It’s not easy to get a truly unbiased jury.

The thing is a defense is nowhere near as good as someone not being arrested in the first place.

Toddler years: "Wow! Cops can break the law! Who's gonna stop them? Cops?" Early teenage years: "Oh. Yeah. Other cops can stop cops so they aren't exempt. Bummer" Later teenage years: "Wait- What?!"
