An example of Entrapment: PRESSURE: Entrapment occurs if the defendant committed the crime as the result of an officer’s threats or other pressure such as badgering, coaxing, cajoling, or importuning.10 For example, in People v. Barraza11 the California Supreme Court ruled the defendant was entitled to a jury instruction on entrapment because there was evidence that the defendant, a recovering heroin addict with a steady job, sold heroin to an undercover police agent only because, (1) the agent telephoned him repeatedly at work; (2) he was afraid he would lose his job if the agent kept calling, so he agreed to meet with her; and (3) during the meeting, which lasted more than an hour, the agent “importuned him relentlessly until his resistance was worn down and overcome.”
Using a Police Car that looks like a Taxi really doesn't fit the bill.

(P.S. I was referring 'you' as a general statement, not directly saying you.)

Well, its become a habit of mine to slow down whenever I see a crown vic. This isn't even that well disguised as a ghost car since its still a crown vic.

I'm guessing that number is just the non-emergency police number?
Regardless that's not entrapment, unless he tries to race you

Using a Police Car that looks like a Taxi really doesn't fit the bill. | when i first read that
i was like, wait so a cop can trick you into modding your car? that's rough.

Off topic..
How are the laptops in the cop cars connected to the station? Is it a wireless network to a cell router in the trunk?
