The Supreme Court threw it out, surprisingly. There must have been gross violations in that case. The Supreme Court doesn't usually overturn entrapment cases.

Recent history shows the result of neighbor watch neighbor programs.
This has always been a favorite tool of tyrants and dictators. Let's check out some historical writings.

James Madison, father of our Constitution, wrote that punishment for counterfeiting belonged to the federal government since, under the new Constitution, they were the only level of government allowed to coin money.
