Can a police officer be charged with bribery under section 307 of the Texas Criminal Code?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Mills, 178 N.Y. 274, 70 N.E. 786 (N.Y. 1904):
In O'Brien v. State, 6 Tex. App. 665, the court said: When the officer first suggests his willingness to a person to accept a bribe to release a prisoner in his charge, and thereby originates the criminal intent, and apparently joins the defendant in a criminal act first suggested by the officer, merely to entrap the defendant, the case is not within the spirit of said article 307 of the Criminal Code.
