What Is Entrapment and How Is It Proven in Arkansas?
Entrapment is a legal defense that can arise when law enforcement induces a person to commit a crime that they otherwise would not have committed. While undercover operations, confidential informants, and other investigative techniques are commonly used by police, there are limits to what officers can do when investigating suspected criminal activity. Understanding where that line is can be important if you are facing an arrest charge based on an undercover investigation.

An allegation resulting from an undercover operation does not automatically mean entrapment occurred, but the methods used by law enforcement may deserve careful examination.
