  Entrapment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In jurisprudence, entrapment is a procedural defense by which a defendant may argue that they should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because they were induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit said acts.
Entrapment is an issue that must be considered in designing sting operations.
Another famous entrapment scandal occurred in April 1998, when British pop singer George Michael was arrested in a Los Angeles bathroom by an undercover police officer pretending to be a homosexual in order to get George Michael to perform oral sex and thus get arrested.

 eMedicine - Nerve Entrapment Syndromes of the Lower Extremity : Article by Minoo Hadjari Hollis, MD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is defined as the entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve or one of its branches.
To differentiate the location of entrapment, some authors have used the term proximal tarsal tunnel syndrome to define entrapment of the posterior tibial nerve in the fibro-osseous tunnel behind the medial malleolus, and the term distal tarsal tunnel syndrome to denote entrapment of the distal branches, that is, the medial and lateral plantar nerves.
Entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve, however, can occur anywhere along the course of the nerve including just distal to the neck of the fibula, anterior to the ankle joint, and distal to the inferior extensor retinaculum but would not be considered anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome.

 Entrapment
Entrapment occurs if the conduct of the investigating officers or their agents in dealing with the defendant would “likely” have induced a “normally law-abiding person” to commit the crime with which the defendant was charged.6
Entrapment does not result merely because officers created a situation which made it possible for the defendant to commit the crime.19 This is because it is presumed that a normally law-abiding person would resist the temptation to commit a crime if officers did nothing more than give him an opportunity to do so.
Entrapment does not result merely because an undercover officer or police agent generated or originated the plan to commit the crime with which the defendant was charged.24 In the words of the California Supreme Court, “[W]e are not concerned with who first conceived or who willingly, or reluctantly, acquiesced in a criminal project.”25

Because sentencing entrapment is in the nature of an affirmative defense, the burden of persuasion should shift to the government when the burden of production is met by the defendant.
The Court may "decline to apply the statutory penalty provision for the greater offense that the defendant was induced to commit, and instead apply the penalty provision for the lesser offense that the defendant was predisposed to commit." Parrilla, 114 F.3d at 127 (citing Ramirez-Rangel, 103 F.3d at 1307-08).
The Ninth Circuit's sentencing entrapment cases stand for the proposition that the doctrine is applicable "in a case where the government induced a target to sell far more of a controlled substance than had formerly been within his practice or resources.

 Cover Story
Suction entrapment, in particular, is an issue that has resulted in industry in-fighting and finger pointing over exactly how widespread the problem is and who should be held responsible.
This “suction entrapment” will hold the bather in its grip until either the vacuum is broken, or he or she drowns, defying the rescue efforts of onlookers.
The saying goes that one suction entrapment death is one too many and, consequently, lawmakers should mandate safety requirements for the way pools are constructed.

 Entrapment
Entrapment, an end-of-the-millenium thriller starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, promises to be a different kind of action movie - one that is character driven instead of plot driven.
For once, the age difference between two stars is unbelievable not because the young woman would never want a man thirty years her senior, but because the young woman is so uninteresting that no experienced older man could stand to be around her very long.
Entrapment aspires to something higher than most current action movies, but it remains a light labor to sit through.

 Entrapment Movie Review by Anthony Leong
"Entrapment" calls to mind the caper flicks of the Sixties, most notably "The Thomas Crown Affair", which itself has been remade and due in theaters later this summer.
However, as the plot thickens, which eventually leads the two partners to Kuala Lampur on the eve of the Millennium, Virginia's loyalties are called into question when it seems that she is playing both sides, straddling the fine line between turning Mac in and lining her own pockets in the crime of the century.
Though the premise of "Entrapment" sets up some interesting dramatic possibilities with Virginia's eventual displacement of loyalties, they end up becoming lost in the messy machinations of the film's nonsensical plot.

 FDA Issues Guidance On Hospital Bed Design To Reduce Patient Entrapment
Entrapment can occur when part of a patient's body becomes caught between parts of the bed, such as in the space between the mattress and the side rail.
The guidance characterizes the body parts at risk for entrapment, identifies the locations of hospital bed openings that are potential entrapment areas, recommends dimensional criteria for new hospital bed systems, provides information about reporting entrapment adverse events, and includes a description of recommended test methods for assessing gaps in hospital bed systems.
These entrapment events have occurred in openings within the bed rails, between the bed rails and mattresses, under bed rails, between split rails, and between the bed rails and the head or food boards.

 Entrapment
If a police officer or someone working with a police officer induces you to commit a crime through impermissible conduct, you may have an entrapment defense.
Entrapment usually occurs when an officer or an agent induces you to commit a crime that you normally would not commit.
Even if you are allowed to raise an entrapment defense, whether it will succeed still remains doubtful because rarely does an entrapment defense work.

 Entrapment
Original Review: Entrapment is Chris Young's second big-budget action score in as many years and is an ideal comparison to the work he undertook for Hard Rain because, if nothing else, it effectively demonstrates Young's ability to tackle similarly-themed movies in vastly different ways.
Quite a lot of Entrapment can be adequately summed up as being either "thriller music", consisting of undulating synth pad grooves and a soothing string backup; or "suspense music", with fluttering string rushes punctuated by sharp horn trills and dense piano clusters.
Although Entrapment is unlikely to generate a whole slew of Chris Young fans, it is nevertheless an interesting and wholly enjoyable instalment in the career of a composer who seems to be finally shedding his mantle of a horror-only composer.

 The Sting of Entrapment
Because entrapment is a defense, the defendant is required to produce sufficient evidence to raise entrapment at trial.
For example, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court found entrapment where a police officer commanded an intoxicated defendant to move his automobile and then charged the defendant with operating under the influence of alcohol.
The law enforcement agency cannot circumvent the defense of entrapment by claiming ignorance of the informant's conduct.

 ENTRAPMENT
There is the more obvious approach: Goofing on the studio’s tagline for the film - "The trap is set" - by saying something clever, like that the "bait" is its two charismatic leads and the "trap" is an utterly implausible story, with unsuspecting viewers being snared by its star power and eye-popping trailer.
Case in point: Viewers won’t have a clue what Zeta-Jones’ character is named until about two-thirds of the way into the film, when Mack calls to her.
On the positive side, Entrapment isn’t bogged down by silly subplots – there are very few characters in the film – and its action sequences are capably lensed by Philip Meheux (The Mask of Zorro).
