Blue Bloods: Authority Figures (2018)
Summary of this episode is misleading.
The summary of this episode says that it involves a clear case of entrapment. No, it does not. Entrapment occurs when law enforcement personnel coerce a person into committing a crime which that person would not ordinarily do and then arresting that person for the crime. That is not what happened in this episode. In this case, the police set out some bate and scooped up the people who took it. There was no coercion. The people who took the bait did so of their own free will without the police saying or doing anything to them until they were arrested. It was clearly not entrapment.
Also, just in case there may be some controversy about this, I asserted that it does not contain spoilers because the events described occur at the very beginning of the episode. The drama occurs as a result of how the department deals with the situation that results.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Fracked (2010)
What, did they let the Luddites that made GasLand write their script for them?
Here we go again. Another example of Hollywood trying to preach ignorance at us. It is pretty obvious that they were influenced by that bit of Oscar nominated propaganda called GasLand when they wrote this episode. They even repeated a number of the lies perpetrated by that movie. In the episode, they claim that natural gas exploration has not been subject to specific environmental regulations since 2005. This claim is based on a lie in GasLand in which they claimed that Dick Chaney forced legislation through in that year to exempt the natural gas industry from this law. In reality, these industries ARE regulated under all of the regulations cited. The second lie is the claim that the fracking fluid is this mix of toxic chemicals. It is not. If you want to know the truth about what is actually involved in fracking, then you might want to check out the following source. Its assertions are pretty well documented. http://www.energyindepth.org/2010/06/debunking-gasland/
