Refine laws on stings

We need to change the laws on who the law can set up sting operations on. Currently they are making criminals where no criminal existed or may never exist.

Why is this important?

I read numerous articles on sting operations - they are growing to meet statistics on how many criminals are arrested. In a number of cases they are setting up the sting where it is a very fine line between enticement and not. They prey on certain profiles where left alone, they may have never become a criminal. We have the highest incarcerated population in the country. I am asking that laws be created where sting operations can only be set up on existing criminals. This ensures that the person has truly committed a crime at least once and not be convicted and imprisoned on a hypothetical crime. Law enforcement has gotten extremely good at the enticement game.
