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.
actually, no.
entrapment is where you are put in a situation where you have no choice but to break the law. if he blows his horn three times and takes off on his own, there is no crime. but setting you up so that you make the choice to take off with him is just that, setting you up.
