Increasingly, police officers are using stings to try to catch innocent people supposedly engaged in criminal activity. Law enforcement may employ stings to "catch" people using the Internet to view sexual content in the privacy of their own home. If a person inadvertently downloads a sexual image of a minor, they may be charged with child pornography or soliciting a minor.
Other times, innocent individuals at wrong place at the wrong time are picked up for solicitation and prostitution. We can help.

Many times police stings violate these rights when they set out to "catch" you doing something illegal. In some instances, their actions may be considered entrapment and grounds for dismissal of the charges. The attorneys at Grabel & Associates understand these tricks and will work to get these charges reduced or thrown out completely.
