    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
