Wow, l was looking at some rvs for sale on Colfax today.

When a very pretty and young Hispanic female smiled and walked towards my vehicle and asked me if l would be interested in some xxxxx.

Anywhere else and l probably would have said yes.

But she looked TGTBT.

May have dodged a bullet or missed a great time.

If the girl flat-out said what she was wanting to do then it would be entrapment if it was a cop

Colorado does not have the entrapment law when Undercover. As long as they tell the truth in court against you Its allllllll gravy :(

You go ahead and keep thinking that. They can do whatever they want.... especially now. 

 

And to the op, it would have been a great opportunity to make sure the RV was a good match for you. ;)

The following is the jury instruction given when a defendant pleads that they were entrapped into committing a crime.  It is the best summary of the law in Colorado.  You will note that it is an affirmative defense to be raised in a trial, it does not prohibit the police from engaging in such behavior, and you are right, the police engage in lots of improper behavior.  In many cases, their goal is not to obtain a conviction, but to harass, embarrass you and ruin your life, so they feel free to trap away.  At any rate, here is the instruction:

"Entrapment"  is an affirmative defense to the crime of prostitution (or solicitation) that the defendant engaged in such conduct because he was entrapped.

The defendant was entrapped if:

1. the defendant would not have conceived of or engaged in the offense unless the inducement was offered,

2. the defendant engaged in the offense because he was induced to do so by a law enforcement official or any person acting under their direction, and not as a result of the defendant’s own predisposition,

3. the methods used created a substantial risk that this particular defendant would engage in the offense, and

4. the methods used were more persuasive than merely affording the defendant an opportunity to commit the offense, even if representations or inducements were made to overcome the defendant’s fear of detection.

In addition to proving all of the elements of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt, the prosecution also has the burden to disprove the affirmative defense beyond a reasonable doubt.

After considering all the evidence, if you decide the prosecution has failed to disprove beyond a reasonable doubt any one or more elements of the affirmative defense, you must return a verdict of not guilty.

The Authority of this jury instruction is the Colorado Statute found at §18-1-709, C.R.S.

It takes a lot of nerve to interrupt a guy when he is RV shopping. it's just like interrupting a woman shopping for shoes, you can get cut doing that. :D
