Officer Morris went to the park where he had previously observed drugs being sold. He approached Ned and, using street terms, asked to purchase one ounce of cocaine. Ned replied, "I can give you some now and the rest later." As Officer Morris was getting money out of his pocked Ned pulled out his cell phone and tried to take a picture of Officer Morris. When Officer Morris objected, Ned said, "I just want to be able to identify you when I get my new shipment." Officer Morris immediately alerted his back-up and Ned was arrested.
