You still dont get it.
How about you stop attacking me personally until you actually get the point Im making?
Its not about owning up to what youre responsible for. Its about being persuaded by the police to do something that you wouldnt ordinarily do. Its about your rights as an American to not have to worry about being entrapped. I think BlueMSProtege drew the best parallel with the prostitution argument. It cant be any clearer than that.
I speed, and I get tickets, just like everyone else. I get one every six months or so. **** happens. But when they catch me, they catch me FAIRLY. If I got nabbed for racing when a COP instigated and initiated the race, id be BULLSH!T over it. I dont even argue my speeding tickets, because I know I was speeding. "Welp, ya got me. Cya in court." If someone baited me into racing them, id fight it tooth and nail. Not necessarily because I believe its an illegal way of catching people- I'm sure theres some loophole that they slip through to somehow word so it doesnt sound like entrapment... but to me, thats exactly what it is. The fact that I agree to "race" (if thats what we wanna call dropping a gear) is irrelevant. If the cop initiates the race, thats entrapment, and anything I do after that (with regards to racing) can't (or shouldnt, anyway) be used against me.
