I have a question pertaining to a show I saw recently. Here is the breakdown:
Undercover officers were selling crack at a known drug location. After the bad guys came up and made a purchase, they pulled the cars over around the corner, searched the vehicle, and busted the driver for purchase & possession.
Here is what I don't get. If LE had to break the law in order to get the bad guy to break the law, how is that right? Because, isn't distribution against the law? So didn't LE break the law FIRST to start this whole thing.
It makes no sense to me, and hopefully someone can explain how it works.
