Since the publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, the phrase "Big Brother" has entered general usage, to describe any overly-inquisitive or overly-controlling authority figure or attempts by government to increase surveillance. Just watched a show recently where the new chips put into cars may be used in the future to show speeds of the vehicle and even mileage. One of the concerns was that this information can be used by law enforcement groups. In other words, the traffic cop may not even have to pull you over to give you a speeding ticket as your car may tell on you via its chip. My question is entrapment a term of the past or does it still apply today?

If you're not speeding then i guess you have nothing to worry about!

That makes sense.

When does entrapment become illegal? This is one of the main questions asked pertaining to
entrapment-and the answer is surprisingly simple. If an officer lures an ordinary citizen into
committing a crime that this person would not have otherwise committed, then this is a legal act of
entrapment, which transfers the blame to the officer, who has committed the act of "manufacturing a
crime where none would otherwise exist."

Then what is legal entrapment? Legal entrapment must include that the perpetrator has prior record
of committing the same or similar crimes that will lead the officer to believe that the suspect has
shown probable cause of the crime in action. The perpetrator must have a history of committing
similar/same or else relevant crimes of nature. Thus, the suspect must show probable cause that
he/she is mentally capable of committing and is probably contemplating or acting out the crime in
question.

I thought entrapment was always illegal but found out that there is legal and illegal entrapment.

entrapment becomes when, The cameras are rolling, the girl has run out of the room and the cops are waiting outside for you

I think I saw that on an episode of COPS.

These chips are too easy to hack. With this, come benefits. Think, how about making your chip transmit lower speed, while you are actually driving much faster? How about setting a chip to your own side of story after an accident? How about resetting number of miles when you're taxed by mile driven?

Authorities are way to slow and dumb to react quickly and correctly on changes in technology. Basically, with everything getting chips and communication capabilities, we further that, indeed, the geeks will inherit the earth.
