The idea of entrapment.. without the intervention of the officer there would be no crime. Example, a police officer rolls up beside you, beeps his horn 3 times, and you are both off. Without the police officer, there is no crime. Therefore, you cannot be charged for it. I believe that is a good way of explaining it, don't know if I am 100% right though.
edit: Now if you were to beep your horn three times and you tried to race him it would be your fault.
He is not forcing you to race by beeping 3 times. You might have a case if you can prove that it doesnt follow due process of law (reason why the speed/red light cameras have be deactivated)
