Entrapment would be you on the road and him egging you on to race and then you do and him pulling you over for it.

AFAIK and IANAL, but him sitting on the side of the road without any lights on is perfectly legal.

I heard that it IS ENTRAPMENT if the cop doesn't atleast have his parking lights on. Kinda like a speed trap, eh?

Not even that would qualify as entrapment.
