Entrapment Quotes

• Los delitos relacionados con las drogas ... pueden considerarse los prototipos de los delitos sin víctimas en la actualidad. La naturaleza privada de la venta y el consumo de estas drogas ha llevado a la policía a recurrir a métodos de detección y vigilancia que se inmiscuyen en nuestra intimidad, como el registro ilegal, las escuchas y las trampas. De hecho, el éxito de la persecución de estos casos requiere a menudo que la policía infrinja las protecciones constitucionales que salvaguardan la intimidad de las personas.
