The Woodward Dream Cruise was back in August and you are just now posting this
So it's ok for cops to illegal street race? What if you all got in an accident and seriously injured another person? Would the cops say "oh we were just trying to get these punks to race us in return for a ticket"...? Of course they wouldn't.
As I have previously brought to the attention of some of our more intellectual forum members, repeat your post to the officer that shows up when your precious car has been stolen!

No it is not. Trap and entrapment are not synonymous. Your google search for the definition was close but it is a much larger legal concept:
ENTRAPMENT - A person is 'entrapped' when he is induced or persuaded by enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime that he had no previous intent to commit; and the law as a matter of policy forbids conviction in such a case.
However, there is no entrapment where a person is ready and willing to break the law and the agents merely provide what appears to be a favorable opportunity for the person to commit the crime. For example, it is not entrapment for a Government agent to pretend to be someone else and to offer, either directly or through an informer or other decoy, to engage in an unlawful transaction with the person. So, a person would not be a victim of entrapment if the person was ready, willing and able to commit the crime charged in the indictment whenever opportunity was afforded, and that Government officers or their agents did no more than offer an opportunity.
Yes cops can be very creative but so are the criminals...and this is still a rather crude explanation of entrapment.

Seriously?!? I do not know of a single law enforcement agency that would create a potentially deadly situation to enforce traffic code. ChaosFury is a high school student and is intelligent enough to see through this one. Good call

next time his car gets stolen??please how many times do they actully recover the car.only reason they show up is to report it so it can go on record and the insurance can pay the money,then the insurance screws you over.its a game of screw over the citizen,street cops dont do much about real crime.All they are good for now-days are to bring the city money,its a business more than anything.the real cops are detectives,social workers,firefighter,paramedics etc...get over it.

Finally! The guy who previously said the cop should shoot himself. Okay lets take it one step further. I only used this example because I figure it would be easy enough to relate to. Their are plenty of violent criminals out there that will beat you down for your pocket change . How about the cops who showed up to North Hollywood and lost their lives trying to protect the public they served. Street cops do a ton about real crime. Its unfortunate that the majority of the public has contact with an officer when they have either been caught doing something wrong or are the victim of a crime. That is simply the nature of the beast. Based on your comments I would be willing to bet you fall into one of these categories.
See if your local department does ride alongs and get to know some of the officers that work in your city. I think you would be surprised at the amount of violence they have to contend with.
Yes, yes, every single immature member comes in to talk bad about police, then everyone else with a decent head on their shoulders tells them to shut the hell up.
I'd love to see the police take a day out of any of your lives and not do anything, in a second most anyone sitting here saying "F^ck the cops" will get their entire lives taken from them, money, possessions, people, everything.
This wasn't a trap, you got caught street racing, if it was a trap they could've pinned you for street racing and countless other problems. You got LUCKY and the cop was NICE, and now everyone else is getting piss about it?
Seriously, grow up, the lot of you getting butt hurt about the police enforcing LAWS.
