Oregon Code § 161.275·Enacted ·Last updated March 01, 2026
Statute Text
Entrapment.
(1)
The commission of acts which would otherwise constitute an offense is not
criminal if the actor engaged in the proscribed conduct because the actor was
induced to do so by a law enforcement official, or by a person acting in
cooperation with a law enforcement official, for the purpose of obtaining
evidence to be used against the actor in a criminal prosecution.
(2) As used in
this section, induced means that the actor did not contemplate and would not
otherwise have engaged in the proscribed conduct. Merely affording the actor an
opportunity to commit an offense does not constitute entrapment. [1971 c.743 §35]
