Court Order

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
Order to Show Cause - Sua Sponte Dismissal of Charges 1-3


Upon review of the record, the Court has identified substantial concerns regarding the legal sufficiency of Counts 1 through 3. The Court hereby orders the Prosecution to show cause why these counts should not be dismissed.

Summary of Complaint

The Prosecution alleges that the Defendant committed four separate acts of WMD Trafficking. Counts 1 through 3 involve transactions between the Defendant and an individual identified as Superwoops. Count 4 involves the distribution of 64 WMDs to an individual identified as Giibbless at spawn. The Court observes that the Complaint and supporting evidence indicate that Superwoops initiated contact with the Defendant in response to a public advertisement, arranged each meeting, tendered payment or consideration, and personally received the items in question on three occasions.

Points of Concern

A. Government Participation in the Completed Offense
The trafficking statute under Criminal Code Act Part VI, Section 8 criminalizes the distribution of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Each of the transactions underlying Counts 1 through 3 required a recipient to accept delivery of the items. If Superwoops was acting in a law enforcement capacity or at the direction of the Department of Justice, then the Government itself served as the necessary counterparty to each transaction. The Court questions whether a completed trafficking offense can be sustained where the sole recipient was an agent of the prosecuting authority. The Prosecution shall address whether the Government can simultaneously facilitate the completion of an offense and prosecute the Defendant for that completed offense.


B. Entrapment Concerns Under Section 8(2)
The Court notes that while the Defendant publicly advertised his willingness to distribute WMDs, the actual completed transactions were carried out only because a law enforcement operative or cooperator responded to that advertisement, arranged meetings, and provided payment. The Prosecution shall address whether the methods employed by Superwoops, including repeated return purchases across three separate transactions within a short time span, may constitute inducement or encouragement within the meaning of Section 8(2)(b) of the Criminal Code Act. Essentially, the Prosecution shall address whether these methods created a substantial risk that the offense of trafficking, as distinct from conspiracy or attempted distribution, would be committed by persons other than those already ready to commit it.


​

Obligations of the Federal Court System

Judicial power is vested in the courts, whose role is to interpret the law as written by the legislature and administered by the Executive. Section 32(9) of the Constitution further guarantees every citizen the right to a speedy and fair trial presided over by an impartial Judicial Officer. Impartiality does not require passivity. Rather, it requires the Court to ensure that the proceedings before it are legally sound and that no party, including the Government, is permitted to advance charges that may be procedurally or substantively deficient. The Court's issuance of an Order to Show Cause does not represent advocacy on behalf of the Defendant; it represents the Court fulfilling its constitutional duty to safeguard the integrity of the judicial process and to ensure that the law is applied correctly and uniformly to all parties, including the prosecuting authority itself.


Thus, @Superwoops, you (and the DoJ) are ordered to show cause as to why Charges 1-3 should not be dismissed with prejudiced. The Government's response is due in 72 Hours. All other deadlines tolled.


So ordered,
Judge Mug

Brief

Your Honour,

Regarding Government Participation in the Completed Offense
It is the Commonwealth's belief that a completed trafficking offense can be sustained where the sole recipient was an agent of the prosecuting authority. Firstly is the matter of safety. The trafficking of all dangerous items, be they illicit substances or WMDs, represents a clear and present threat to the good citizens of Redmont. It is therefore entirely reasonable, and arguably necessary, for the government to participate in the offense, thereby removing the illicit item from the streets.

Secondly, there is long standing court precedent whereby government agents have carried out the purchase of illicit items, in order to acquire them as evidence for prosecuting the seller. See The Commonwealth of Redmont v. Nebrasken64 [2025] DCR 4, Commonwealth of Redmont v. .Sirbucket420 [2024] FCR 127, The Commonwealth of Redmont v. itz_alexey [2025] FCR 2, and Commonwealth of Redmont v. WWW2020 [2025] DCR 91. In each and every one of the listed cases, a government agent carried out the purchase of the item, and in each and every one of the listed cases, a guilty verdict was reached.

Regarding Entrapment Concerns Under Section 8(2)

As stated in the previous passage, there is long standing legal precedent whereby government agents have purchased illegal items for use as evidence.

Regardless, let us examine the Entrapment clause:

8 - Entrapment

(1) Law Enforcement Official. For the purposes of this Section, a law enforcement official is an officer or employee of any agency or authority of the Commonwealth of Redmont who is empowered by law to:
(a) investigate or conduct an official inquiry into a potential violation of law; or
(b) prosecute or otherwise conduct a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding arising from an alleged violation of law.

(2) Entrapment. A law enforcement official or a person acting in cooperation with such an official perpetrates an entrapment if for the purpose of obtaining evidence of the commission of an offense, they induce or encourage another person to engage in conduct constituting such offense by either:
(a) making knowingly false representations designed to induce the belief that such conduct is not prohibited; or
(b) employing methods of persuasion or inducement that create a substantial risk that such an offense will be committed by persons other than those who are ready to commit it.

(3) Affirmative Defense. Except as provided in 8(4) of this Act, a person prosecuted for an offense shall be acquitted, or a person charged with a summary criminal offense shall have that offense overturned, if they prove by a balance of probabilities that their conduct occurred in response to an entrapment.

(4) Exception. The defense afforded by this Section is unavailable when causing or threatening bodily injury is an element of the offense charged and the prosecution is based on conduct causing or threatening such injury to a person other than the person perpetrating the entrapment.
(a) “Bodily injury” includes, but is not limited to:
(i) damage to the health bar;
(ii) physical ailments; and
(iii) harmful status effects.
(b) “Bodily injury” does not include damage and/or effects from consensually consumed substances.

Firstly, did Superwoops make knowingly false representations designed to induce the belief that such conduct is not prohibited? Absolutely not. At no point did Superwoops suggest, imply, or outright state that it was perfectly legal to traffick WMDs. In fact, as evidenced in P-004, he did the complete opposite. Superwoops directly informed the defendant that selling mini nukes was illegal. P-005 also showcased NovaTukerbal informing AtomicRedstoner of the illegality of selling such weapons, and he still did it anyway.

Secondly, did Superwoops employ methods of persuasion or inducement that create a substantial risk that such an offense will be committed by persons other than those who are ready to commit it. Absolutely not. The defendant had already made their intent to sell WMDs very clear. Had Superwoops not purchased the mini nukes, they would have been sold to someone else. P-007 demonstrates this very clearly. The defendant was openly selling illegal weaponry, a fact he was fully aware of. This is not some misguided citizen. This is a criminal who knows what he's doing.

Regardless, I would also make the argument that the Entrapment Exception, as show in 8(40), applies here. The Entrapment defense is unavailable "when causing or threatening bodily injury is an element of the offense charged, and the prosecution is based on the conduct causing or threatening such injury to a person other than the person perpetrating the entrapment".

Your Honour, as I'm sure you're aware, WMD stands for Weapon of Mass Destruction. The lethal capabilities of these weapons cannot be understated. I absolutely agree with you that the government should not be allowed to entrap citizens. It is a necessary defense and a means by which the DOJ cannot attempt to falsely charge citizens. But this was not entrapment, and the government needs to be able to continue to purchase such weapons in order to keep Redmont safe.

Furthermore, this does not create a substantial risk of continued trafficking. As previously discussed, the government must intervene in situations where illicit items are sold. What would significantly increase the risk of illicit items being sold would be a ruling whereby government agents were forbidden from acquiring these items to be used as evidence. Arms traders would be free to blatantly offer such technologies to whomever they wished, knowing investigators and prosecutors would have to jump through significantly more hoops in order to drag them before the bench.

Defendant didn't respond, a non-Superwoops PD will be called.

Brief

RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

1. Government Participation in Criminal Activity is Questionable

The question raised before the court today is whether the Government should participate in alleged criminal activity.
The Defense believes that the Government should absolutely not.
The Criminal Code Act states the following about Weapon of Mass Destruction Trafficking:

6 - Weapon of Mass Destruction Trafficking
Offence Type: Indictable
Penalty: Up to 100 Penalty Units; up to 60 minutes imprisonment
A person commits an offence if the person:
(a) sells, distributes, or traffics any substance deemed to be a weapon of mass destruction.

This offence could have been committed even if the Defendant allegedly distributed or trafficked the weapons.
The prosecution is trying the defendant based on the sale in which Superwoops equally participated. The Defense asks the court if the Government's participation in the sale of illegal items should be acceptable.

Furthermore, is the Court expected to follow DCR precedent as stated by the prosecution in their response?

It is the Government's job to catch the sale of illegal items, not participate in them. This sale would have never happened if Superwoops hadn't contacted them. The Defendant would have never released these items to the Prosecution if they had not paid them. This is not a trial based on distribution but a trial based on sales. The Government participated in the sale, and the distribution would have never happened if there had been no sale. The Government should not be allowed to create an offence only to try them in Court later. This not only goes against the Government's duty to remain impartial, but it also contradicts the fundamental principle of the Government's duty in prosecuting illegal acts.

2. Right To Be Treated Equally

We have already established that the alleged distribution would have never happened if there had been no sale.
Section 32 (12) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Redmont states the following:

Every citizen is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection and equal benefit of the law without unfair discrimination and, in particular, without unfair discrimination based on political belief or social status.

If every citizen is equal before the law, then why isn't it that Superwoops hasn't been fined accordingly or attempted to provide evidence that they have been subject to?
Prosecution has already proved that Superwoops had WMDs. Prosecution has not established that Superwoops was acting in a governmental capacity in this deal. And prosecution was an integral part of the sale that happened.

The CCA clearly states that a person commits an offence of possessing WMDs if he/she: "possesses any item deemed to be a weapon of mass destruction."

The Prosecution should not be allowed to try the Defendant for trafficking/sale of WMDs if they themself haven't established that they are protecting my client's right to be treated equally under the law. Essentially, the Prosecution cannot or should not be allowed to apply the law on only one party in this case, and should do its duty as the DoJ of either:

1) Confirming Superwoops was acting as a prosecutor/investigator in a governmental capacity, then (this does mean by producing evidence that Superwoops was aware they were acting as an investigator, and so did the DOJ) OR,
2) Fine Superwoops every time they participated in the sale of WMDs, and therefore possessed WMDs by every sale. Essentially fine Superwoops 5 Penalty units for every count from Count 1-3.

3. Superwoops Encouraged Defendant

The Defense has already established that the Government played an integral part in this sale and is placing the Defendant in a lawsuit that tries them for the distribution of WMDs. There is a clear difference between sale and distribution; sale requires a transaction of money, whereas distribution can be one-sided.

In Facts 5-8, the Prosecution states that they contacted the Defendant for more nukes.

Is this not entrapment?

Court Order

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
Order - Sua Sponte Dismissal of Charges 2, 3


History of the Order
The Prosecution filed a four-count Complaint alleging WMD Trafficking under Criminal Code Act Part VI, Section 8. Counts 1 through 3 arise from transactions where Superwoops, serving as both Prosecution counsel and the purchasing party, responded to the Defendant's advertisement, arranged meetings, tendered payment, and received WMDs. Count 4 involves the Defendant's separate distribution of 64 WMDs to Giibbless at spawn.

The Court issued an Order to Show Cause directing the Prosecution to address (A) whether a completed trafficking offense can be sustained where the Government served as the necessary counterparty, and (B) whether the methods employed may constitute entrapment under Section 8(2), specifically whether they "created a substantial risk that the offense of trafficking, as distinct from conspiracy or attempted distribution, would be committed by persons other than those already ready to commit it."

After hearing argument from both parties, the Court has a ripe matter.


Analysis of the Court

The Defendant's alleged criminal intent is not in dispute. He allegedly publicly advertised his willingness to sell nuclear weapons (P-007), was informed by multiple parties that his conduct was illegal (P-004, P-005), and proceeded regardless. The question is whether the Government's participation elevated what would otherwise have been an inchoate offense (not fully formed), an attempt or solicitation that turned into completed trafficking. The statute criminalizes selling, distributing, or trafficking WMDs. A completed sale requires a buyer. Without one, the Defendant's conduct amounts to Conspiracy, not a completed transaction.

A. On Count One
The initial controlled purchase is legally sustainable. A single controlled buy confirms the Defendant's willingness and capability, secures physical evidence, and establishes the factual basis for prosecution. The Defendant was independently predisposed, as demonstrated by his public solicitation. The precedent cited by the Prosecution, (see the list in the Commonwealth's order), supports this conclusion. The Court is not bound by DCR precedent but finds it persuasive on this point.


B. On Counts Two and Three
The Court must ask what legitimate investigative purpose these alleged repeat purchases served. The answer, in this Court's view, is none. The Government did not uncover new criminal conduct. It effectively manufactured additional completed offenses that would not have existed without its continued participation. This engages the concern underlying Section 8(2)(b). The Court reads that provision as encompassing not only the risk of inducing unwilling persons to offend, but also the risk of manufacturing additional completed offenses beyond what the Defendant would have committed absent government involvement. The Defendant was ready to commit trafficking. He was not, however, independently generating the specific transactions underlying Counts 2 and 3. Those transactions existed because the Government returned to purchase more. The Prosecution argues that prohibiting repeat purchases would allow arms dealers to operate freely. The Court is not persuaded. After Count 1, the Government had all the evidence it needed. The appropriate response to a confirmed WMD trafficker is prosecution, not the generation of additional counts through alleged continued purchasing.


The Court makes no remark on Charge 4. Furthermore, the Court notes that even if entrapment were established, the defense may be unavailable under Section 8(4), as WMDs inherently threaten bodily injury.

So ordered,
Judge Mug
