Criminal Defense: Entrapment – Modesto Ca
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Modesto California’s entrapment defense applies to situations where you would not have committed the alleged offense but for the harassment, threats, or coercion of the police or their agents. If you were entrapped, it basically means that the police, who were most likely undercover persuaded you to commit a crime.
Entrapment is frequently raised as a defense to California sex offenses and California drug crimes. It is perhaps most prominently raised in connection with sting operations run by undercover decoy officers trying to make busts for
- Penal Code 647(b), California’s prostitution law,
- Penal Code 647(a), lewd acts in public, and
- possessing and/or selling illegal substances.
Entrapment is a legal defense that you must prove by a preponderance of the evidence. A “preponderance of the evidence” means that it is more likely than not that the only reason you committed the alleged crime was because of the overreaching police conduct.
