So in no circumstances if you were asked by a friend who you explicitly trusted to get him an illegal substance would you do so? I would have thought if you were in favour of the decriminalisation of drugs that you would have sympathy for those who currently use them, especially who do so despite the often ridiculous penalties for doing so. No one's denying that Ted Terry was stupid; it's more than a newspaper which is essentially itself commissioning the crime is allowed to get away with incriminating otherwise innocent people in such a way, when it isn't even close to being in the public interest.

This will probably the first time I ever agree with anything the NOTW says and I am for the decriminalisation of drugs but, entrapment or not, John Terry when asked, went and got cocaine for someone, in exchange for money. These facts are not in dispute. I find it unlikely that he didn't know this was illegal.

Nobody put a gun to his head to do it. I have no sympathy for John Terry, and he got off lightly for being found guilty breaking the law and pleading not guilty.

Comments on Obsolete: John Terry's father, drug stings, and an unreformable regulator.
