Is a prosecutor legally permitted to engage plea negotiations absent prima facie evidence?
What do you mean by prima facie evidence? A prosecutor is free to enter into a plea agreement at any point during a criminal case. He or she is also ethically required not to charge a case against an individual unless they feel that they can prove that case beyond a reasonable doubt to begin with. That's not to say that there isn't such a thing as a unethical prosecutor that would charge a case on very little evidence. However that is a rarity. A prosecutor ethically is also required not to prosecute a case unless they believe that person to be guilty it is not simply to secure convictions. There is no such thing as an amount of evidence that is required for a plea negotiation. However, if a prosecutor is being ethical about it there will almost always be some evidence to suggest the accussed's guilt.

Can a HI state prosecutor get close to a person to find out personal information to trial them like smoke pot with them?
I'm not totally conversant with the 'personal-use' marijuana laws of HI (if they even exist), but if it allows a prosecutor to legally indulge, along with everyone else, I would think that it would be no different than them having a beer with them in a bar. HOWEVER - any evidence they elicit would be subject to the rules of evidence. (Question: How do you think undercover officers develop leads and gather evidence?)
