L'ex-ministre Tomassi arrêté dans une frappe contre la prostitution

Usually when you are caught by an undercover you are fucked and in the cases I have seen in CT there was almost all guilty pleas. Entrapment defenses rarely work. Video and audio surveillance is likely- in public its legal. It’s like walking into rob a convenience store or set a fire in a condo building. Count on the event being taped. Absolutely no difference on a public street. Tomassi also has some criminal record of embezzlement and fraud so his ass is likely going DOWN. Here the punishment would likely not be incarceration unless there is some violation of probation or terms of his prior sentence. He will have a further record, fines, probation, community service, if it was here.

It could be harder to get an absolute or conditional discharge if you already have a criminal record. If not, however, a lawyer would normally succed in having one or the other if i's a first offence. In the first case, the info is whiped out of the record after 1 year, in the second after 3 years.
