    yeah that pretty much checks out for me. It’s one of those weird things in the US where we have pretty strict fundamentally enshrined constitutional rights where this would likely overstep so it’s a tried and true space.

    Also helps that cops do actually end up doing stings like this pretty frequently. We see similar things with “hitman for hire” plots a lot. Though drugs are probably one the more slimy variants of this. There should be enough enshrined rights to prevent significant abuses of power though.
