      The strictest definition of entrapment is when an LEO orders you to do something illegal; because you have to obey an order. Like if a traffic cop waves you through the intersection against a light to clear the road, they cannot then issue you a ticket.

      It depends a lot on what the cops actually said to this kid, but I think there’s a good chance to make that case.

        since cops can kill with no repercussions “orders” should have a broad interpretation

      Sounds like it, but it’s Australia, and from what I know about Australian law, entrapment isn’t really a thing. Australian pigs can just tell you to commit a crime, and then arrest you for committing that crime.

      Just another reminder that All Cops Are Bastards.

      I‘m not well versed in the law but others said so too.
