DPP v Armstrong
Template:EngCrimLaw DPP v Armstrong (Andrew) [2000] Crim LR 379 is an English criminal law case, dealing with incitement. The court ruled that even if the incited party doesn't commit the offence they are being encouraged to do, does not mean that incitement has not taken place.
The defendant had tried to incite a police officer to let him have access to images of child pornography, but the officer refused, stating he had no intention of distributing the images to the defendant.
The court rejected the defence of impossibility (that it was impossible to incite an offence that had not taken place), and the defendant was found guilty of incitement.
