The old rumor is that if you ask a cop if he's a cop that he has to tell you. like if you were about to buy or sell drugs and asked the buyer or seller "Are you a cop" he has to tell you or it's entrapment. Is there any truth to this or is it bullshit?

BS, a cop can lie to you.

I heard of a case closed one time when a detective slapped a video tape down on the table during the interview.  The investigator told the suspect that the whole thing was on video.  the suspect then confessed.  The tape ended up being a video for the detective's kids (Barney I believe).  Totally legal.

 Nice NorCal.

I used to tell people if the officer wasn't wearing the right uniform or their name tag was missing, it was thrown out.  The sad thing is people believe you...

It goes both ways........

I ask people almost everyday if they use, sell or possess drugs of any kind........and the answer is always ..no, despite finding dope on them and in their vehicles.

This one is so engrained that people will argue with me over it.

It's only true if it involves a hooker and a goat.

So, in those situations, the pants actually do belong to the shitbird?

Yeah, I figured it was bullshit but you hear it so often and I figured this would be a good place to ask.

I have bought nearly every illicit drug known to man, guns from gangbangers and even five pounds of C-4. My answer is always the same...only on weekends when the old lady wants to play dress up. This applied with a stupid face and proper body language has never resulted in a blown deal.

Could you elaborate any on the details of this, sounds like it might be an interesting story (MC gang)? I would imagine that buying C-4 undercover has a high pucker factor.
