Re: Cop Car Parked with 2 tires on Road for Speed Trap

I think you misunderstood, my point wasn't that speed traps are entrapment, but that there ARE limits on what officers can do while in the "execution of their duties". My understanding is that with drugs and prostitution for example, the undercover officer cannot give someone the opportuni...
