But no, there was something to do with a law enforcement officer baiting you into breaking the law that wasn't allowed...I of course have not had my coffee yet today, so I could be making stuff up.

"In jurisprudence, entrapment is a legal defense by which a defendant may argue that he or she should not be held criminally liable for actions which broke the law, because they were induced (or entrapped) by the police to commit said acts." -the lovely wikipedia.org
So...yeah, we agree. Don't race.

Hmmm, well, here's the quickest link I could find with a legal definition:
http://www.lectlaw.com/def/e024.htm
So I guess it's up to the judge to determine if you were "ready and willing" to break the law anyways. Which probably wouldn't be too hard unfortunately thanks to stupid people racing all the time...

id never pull over for any car with those small red/blue lights, i want a huge light bar to show up, even crown vic headlights, id make the cop speed in front of me to prove it. But ive never been pulled over at night.
and how do you prove in court that the cops running lights werent on if they radar you? unless the cop is under oath and wont lie, but still? seems like they wouldnt fess up.

you get him to admit to it, because most cops dont know about that law.
BUT this will only work in Cali.
A buddy of mine still got a ticket even with all favor. Its also very much dependant on the judge... nice judge = better chance...etc..
