Once you say "yeah I might know a guy" to the entrapping police officer, you've provided probable cause to arrest for conspiracy to commit murder and prima facie evidence for prosecution, despite your actual intent. Just about every conspiracy defendant claims "but I was just trying to be a good Samaritan!" and they fail.
The only things you should say to entrapping police should be: "I'll discuss it with my lawyers, {the name of the District Attorney} and {a well-known defense attorney}. We'll be in touch, bye."
No, if you said "I know a guy who might be interested" and then promptly called the police/FBI (a different LE agency than this guy worked for obviously) then you could not be prosecuted. You haven't done anything illegal under a conspiracy law because you haven't agreed to a specific act.
How the FUCK could you promptly call the police WHEN YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY PLACED IN HANDCUFFS!? Do you have a cellphone in your brain?
Never mind, from your first post I thought you knew what conspiracy laws meant.
Then you would have replied differently.
You clearly don't understand conspiracy laws. A vague "I might know a guy" is not conspiracy, you need to commit to a specific act. So you say you know a guy and take their phone number, the police are dancing with glee over the fact they're gonna set you up in a proper conspiracy and then you introduce them to an FBI agent and laugh your ass off at the ensuing mess.
You cannot be charged with conspiracy unless you commit to a SPECIFIC act.
Examples of times you can be charged with conspiracy
"I want you to kill MrPiggles"
"I need a hitman to kill MrPiggles"
"I want to import 10 kilos of cocaine on this flight like so.."
Not conspiracy
"I might know a guy can I have your phone number"
"I'd like to be a rich cocaine dealer"
"I wish that guy was dead"
Simple enough for you? Conspiracy laws aren't that complicated.
