Here are some examples of the types of prosecutions I’m worried about.

High schooler sold drugs to undercover cop who pretended to be his girlfriend: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/457/what-i-did-for-love/act...

Legal study on failures of the entrapment defense in post-9/11 terrorism cases: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/law-and-social-inqui...

Most people will make a plea deal when faced with prosecution, so there’s never an adversarial process in front of a judge and jury.
