Going after loners for officer-initiated erotic roleplay they clearly never believed was real. Your taxpayer money at work!
Darron Wilkinson, 50, sent multiple messages to what turned out to be an undercover police officer, ending many when discussing graphic acts with the text abbreviation for "laughing out loud", Newcastle Crown Court heard. [...] In mitigation, Tony Cornberg said Wilkinson was socially isolated and had no intention to go through with the meeting, as evidenced by the delivery driver going on holiday to Blackpool instead of the arranged journey to Coventry.

This story really just angers me.
More reason why I very much despise the UK and all of its moronic laws and flat-out stupid law enforcement.

A dude who is by all means lonely being taken advantage of for the one "excuse" police get to play hop-scotch around entrapment laws. Shame on these so-called "officers", they protected no children and just made a dudes life more difficult because they deemed it such.
