what kind of rights does our constitution have to offer for or against this?

Deceit, guile, falseness,untruthfulness, artifice, sham, imposture, treachery, subterfuge, stratagem, a ruse, a hoax, a fraud, a trick, a snare, a trap, wile, illusion and delusion, a misleading, a take in, a con, a double cross, etc. We're losing all of our rights. The Patriot Act has helped to finish what we had left off. Entrapment used to be illegal and now it's a common tool used by police officers condoned by the court system. I'm surprised we still have freedom of speech.

In jurisprudence, entrapment is a legal defense by which a defendant may argue that he or she should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because he/she was induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit said acts. For the defense to be successful, the defendant must demonstrate that the police induced an otherwise unwilling person to commit a crime. Entrapment is an issue that must be considered in designing sting operations.

Get this. I used to work with this sleazy guy. One of his friends go busted in a burglary and the cops made a deal with him to build a meth lab and involve his friends while wired. None of these guys had any idea how to do this on their own, the cops supplied the materials and the how-to info. And the first and only sale was to an undercover cop. My sleazy friend did some time, but I think he enjoyed the time off work and free computer programming education.
Legal entrapment, I suppose, but it is lazy law enforcement and career building on the tax payer's dime.

That's a good question because the US Constitution offers little protection against entrapment.
However the laws of justice, police procedure and evidence do.
Entrapment is when the police, acting undercover, set up a crime scenario and tempt or coax a person to get involved in the crime which he had no intention of committing on his own, he commits the crime in cahoots with the cops and they arrest him for it.
There's a million ways to work it but that describes it in a nutshell.

It would be when a cop wants to nail someone---for instance, they find out the guy is in need of money. So they send in someone to tell him that there is easy money to be made by doing a drug deal....he agrees.....does the deal...cops get him. That is entrapment.
Happened to someone in my town.

setting up a trap to catch someone doing something before they know the intentions of the person.
