HELL NO - HUGE MISTAKE
Good God I almost shit whenever I hear somone say this. The point of undercover investigation is have people believe they are not Cops. If they had to tell you when you asked if they were a cop they might as well be wearing a uniform!
Do you think if an undercover cop asks you for pills and you ask his if they are in any way affiliated with law enforcement do you think they are going to be like
"damn! shit! yeah, you got me. Hey but sshh, dont tell anyone."
Undercover officers have to lie because that is the whole point of the job. They can also participate in illegal activity, excluding of course murder or rape, because they are doing it to help the operation, and not due to criminal intent. They are highly encouraged not to, but the undercover cops can take drugs under extreme conditions, like if a columbian cocaine dealer had a gun to your head and wanted you to prove you were not a cop.
Its also a very dangerous misconception, because if someone asks a cop if he is a cop and he says no, then they are 100% sure he isnt and their floodgate of criminal activity opens.
Not good.
Entrapment is when someone is encouraged and persuaded to do something they would not normally do. For example if someone who had never sold drugs before was asked by a narc to try to find some coke for him and kept persisting that the guy find some coke, mabye even suggested a guy to go to. Then if the guy went out and bought the coke only because of the nagging narc, that would be entrapment.
Accepting drugs offered to you is not entrapment.
Someone correct me if I am wrong only if you KNOW something I said is wrong, not just think its wrong.
I'd love some input from NYC Defender or other attorneys on this thread.
btw, chronic- i'm not trying to slam you or anything, its just that your statement is one many people believe and can be very costly mistake.
