Maine Entrapment is a legal term that refers to the act of luring someone into committing a crime they would not have ordinarily committed. It is a type of entrapment which is illegal in many U.S. states, including Maine. There are two main types of Maine Entrapment: active and passive. Active entrapment occurs when law enforcement officers create a situation that encourages someone to commit a crime, such as providing them with the means to do so or putting them in a situation where they could not have reasonably refused. Passive entrapment, on the other hand, involves law enforcement officers merely providing a person with an opportunity to commit a crime, without actively enticing them to do so. In either case, if the defense of Maine Entrapment is successful, then the accused person will be found not guilty.
