Can a Shoplifter Claim that a Store Made it Too Easy to Steal as a Defense

I thought this thread was a result of my example! Sorry about this Esteemed Colleagues, I had no idea OP would run with my example like this.

As the comedian Ron white says: you can't fix stupid.



I have also realized you often cannot determine it from a first post of somebody asking a question.



And where the heck is the like button. Mr k's response deserves an infinate "like".

And to assume that YBIYBI is actually a law invites more laughter.....

it's good to know YBIYBI is not really a law. That's all I wanted to ask. Thanks!

I did not describe entrapment and what yuo described is not entrapment. In fact, entrapment applies to a police agency enticing a person to commit a crime with the intent of inducing them to actually commit the crime.

Well, can non-law enforcement agencies do entrapment activities? Like knowingly purchase large amount of fake/expired product and sue the merchant for huge compensation, or a bored lawyer intentionally leave a wallet under camera trying to sue whoever pick it up without turning it in?



and btw, who edited my subject??

Actually, entrapment doesn't even apply to non-law enforcement. You cannot legally or factually be "entrapped" by a lawyer, department store, private person, et al
