The Cold Call

In Ontario, a police officer received a tip from another officer that a man using a particular name was selling drugs from a specific phone number. The tip came from a confidential source, and the officer did not check its reliability. The officer called the number. He asked the man who answered whether he went by the name in the tip, and the man did not deny it. When the officer asked, "You can help me out?", the man replied, "What do you need?" The officer then asked for "2 soft", meaning two grams of powder cocaine, and the man agreed to meet. At the meeting, the officer paid $140 for two small bags of cocaine. Police arrested the Accused and found the phone used to set up the sale, cash and, in his backpack, a large quantity of cocaine and three envelopes of cash. He was charged with possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking and argued that police had entrapped him. Did police reasonably suspect he was dealing drugs before they offered him the chance to sell?
