I like the color combo:) But WOW!

Holy crow.

Maybe it's the cops trolling for dealers ... ?

Wow -I had an enlightening discussion while on a flight recently. Sat next to a former Chief of Police from Miami (I think, I may have that wrong). He is also best buddies with Obama's drug czar now. He explained to me that prescription drugs are far and away the big drug problem for police. Not crack, not cocaine, etc. But oxy and all the others...

Maybe it's a sting operation?

I don't think law enforcment is allowed to lure people into doing something criminal and then arrest them. They usually are't looking for users either. I don't think the dealers are that dumb!

"I don't think law enforcment is allowed to lure people into doing something criminal and then arrest them."

They do that all the time. Prostitution stings happen often. With that said, I agree they would rather target dealers than users.

A sting on a known and specific target is different. I'm pretty sure there are laws around something more general.

No, they do stings where they arrest people who respond to craigslist ads for prostitution. They aren't on known targets. One example is linked.

Did you flag it.....or click on prohibited?

I get email spam like this. I think you " need a prescription ". And if you don't have one, they will "provide the service".

I was able to find something about it through google. It's called entrapment.

Here is a link that might be useful: Entrapment Law

Snookums: Yes, perhaps entrapment is what you were thinking of, but it is only entrapment when people are *coerced* to commit a crime. Cops can "lure" people by conducting sting operations, but they cannot coerce. Sting operations of many types happen all the time. The craigslist ad above COULD legally be law enforcement conducting a sting operation, although it is unlikely since there are bigger fish to fry. You might want to google sting operations. The wikipedia page says,

"Contrary to popular misconceptions, however, entrapment does not prohibit undercover police officers from posing as criminals or denying that they are police.[3] Entrapment is typically only a defense if a suspect is pressured into committing a crime they would probably not have committed otherwise, though the legal definition of this pressure varies greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, if undercover officers coerced a potential suspect into manufacturing illegal drugs to sell them, then the accused could use entrapment as a defense. However, if a suspect is already manufacturing drugs and police pose as buyers to catch him, then entrapment usually has not occurred."

You undoubtedly know more about law than me but I do think that police putting ads out there like that could entice or lure people who would not normally be doing such a thing, otherwise have access, or even just curious at the time. Which I thought was also being described in the link, luring peopel into a crime (rather than coercing).

You sure would catch someone dumb though, lol. And maybe a lot of kids.

And here I was hoping to see a Kingdom mirror...

Click "prohibited" and it will go away in a day or two and the account posting it will be banned.

didn't want to flag it....I wanted you all to see it!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was NOT a sting operation. I took a job that was vacated by a person who was abusing Rx drugs--big time. AND she was pregnant. When she was out on maternity leave it was discovered about her embezzlement of funds to pay for the habit. I worked there 5 years before we moved, and until the day I left I was still receiving phone calls trying to solicit drugs to her, and when I would say she no longer worked there, they would ask if I needed anything! Early on there were threatening calls because she wasn't paying!

And it turned out she hadn't quit even after she was exposed in front of her husband years earlier. I would lure in the callers to reveal information about when she placed her last order. She continued to use the office phone number and the address of our location as her address......

oh, got a little off course there.....anyway, I would not be surprised if suppliers were working this way.

I mean would a sting operation put this ad in Antiques, vs Personal connections or something like that?

who knows--it's a dark world.

After the day I've had, it's tempting to respond -- and it is within driving distance!

The guy really needs to do his marketing schemes when he's not stoned, lol.

Well, looks like he's trying to expand his potential customer base -- and this marketing scheme is certainly working. I'm assuming that we here aren't his normal clientele.

Actually, google the phone number. There is a marketing strategy :)

I was browsing CL for wildflower seeds one time and came across marijuana listing. I flagged it but never went back to see if it came down. I think it takes several flags to get something removed.

I'm sure he is trying to expand his territory but you'd have to be smokin' something to be advertising your illegal activities like that.

If that was the Philadelphia antiques, I'd suspect my husband was trying to sedate me... incase I found anything else I "needed."

VictoriaElizabeth!! LOL!!

Did you see we are all drooling over the Kingdom?
