MS Code § 99-1-25 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 99 - Criminal Procedure|Chapter 1 - General Provisions; Time Limitations; Costs|§ 99-1-25. Entrapment; affirmative defense to criminal prosecution; burden of proof

  It is an affirmative defense to a criminal charge that the person was entrapped. To claim entrapment, the person must admit by the person's testimony or other evidence the substantial elements of the offense charged.   A person who asserts an entrapment defense has the burden of proving each of the following by clear and convincing evidence:   The idea of committing the offense was initiated by law enforcement officers or their agents rather than by the person.   The law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the person to commit the offense.   The person was not predisposed to commit the type of offense charged before the law enforcement officers or their agents urged and induced the person to commit the offense.     A person does not establish entrapment if the person was predisposed to commit the offense and the law enforcement officers or their agents merely provided the person with an opportunity to commit the offense. It is not entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents merely to use a ruse or to conceal their identity, nor is it entrapment for law enforcement officers or their agents to supply, furnish or sell contraband to an individual where:   There is a reasonable indication, based on information developed through informants or other means, that the subject is engaging, has engaged, or is likely to engage in illegal activity of a similar type; or   The opportunity for illegal activity has been structured so that there is reason for believing that persons drawn to the opportunity, or brought to it, are predisposed to engage in the contemplated illegal activity.     The issue of entrapment shall be tried by the trier of fact. The conduct of law enforcement officers and their agents may be considered in determining if a person has proven entrapment.
MS Code § 99-1-27 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 99 - Criminal Procedure|Chapter 1 - General Provisions; Time Limitations; Costs|§ 99-1-27. Victim of sex offenses not required to submit to truth telling devices as condition for proceeding with investigation of offense

  No law enforcement officer, prosecutor or other government official shall ask or require an adult, youth or child victim of a sex offense to submit to a polygraph examination or other truth telling device as a condition for proceeding with the investigation of the offense.   The refusal of a victim to submit to an examination described above shall not prevent the investigation of the offense.   For purposes of this section, a "sex offense" shall have the meaning ascribed in Section 45-33-23(h).
MS Code § 99-1-29 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 99 - Criminal Procedure|Chapter 1 - General Provisions; Time Limitations; Costs|§ 99-1-29. Certain reproduction during discovery of property or material that constitutes child pornography prohibited

  In any criminal proceeding, evidence that constitutes child pornography prohibited under Sections 97-5-31 and 97-5-33, Mississippi Code of 1972, shall remain in the care, custody, and control of either the prosecution or the court.     Notwithstanding Rule 9.04 of the Mississippi Uniform Circuit and County Court Rules, a court shall deny any request by the defendant in a criminal proceeding to copy, photograph, duplicate, or otherwise reproduce any property or material that constitutes child pornography; however, the prosecution shall be required to make the property or material reasonably available to the defendant.   For the purposes of this section, property or material shall be deemed to be reasonably available to the defendant if the prosecution provides ample opportunity at a government facility for inspection, viewing, and examination of the property or material by the defendant, the defendant's attorney, and any person the defendant may seek to qualify to furnish expert testimony at trial.
MS Code § 99-3-1 (2020)

Private persons may also make arrests.     Any person authorized by a court of law to supervise or monitor a convicted offender who is under an intensive supervision program may arrest the offender when the offender is in violation of the terms or conditions of the intensive supervision program, without having a warrant if:   The arrest is authorized or ordered by a judge of the court;   The person making the arrest has been trained at the Law Enforcement Officers Training Academy established under Section 45-5-1 et seq. or at a course approved by the Board on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Training; and   The judge identifies the person making the arrest in his order and a copy of the order is served upon the person being arrested.     For the purposes of the subsection, the term "intensive supervision program" means an intensive supervision program of the Department of Corrections as described in Section 47-5-1001 et seq., of any similar program authorized by a court for offenders who are not under jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections.
