Possible entrapment on a minor's charge
Have you received the citation yet? Consult with a local Nebraska atty when and if you receive the citation. The law develops at a different pace in each state. Read the statute for entrapment in your state. Courts interp[ret statutes, they do not enact them. Courts can interpret them only if cases brought under those statutes. Depending on the tools you have, you can do a modicum of self-education. For instance, you can look at the "annotations" that appear under the entrapment statute. You can look in the Nebraska West Digest under entrapment. You can find these in a local free library or at the law library of a local law school. You may even be able to find them on the Web. Take a look. Good luck!
