yeah, my eclipse was red.

Even if you did race him.. couldn't that be considered entrapment?

I mean, the way I look at it if.. without the government there would be no crime, then that is entrapment. And without him hassling you to initiate a race there would be no violation on your part (if you raced him).

So, eh.. how does that exactly work? .. I don't know the law too well.

I don't think enticing a race would legally be considered entrapment since the choice is still up to you. Now if a cop caused you to swerve on purpose then ticketed you for reckless, that would be entrapment. However, I think it is ridiculous a cop would initiate a race at all.

That said, the car he was driving has 150hp. He's gonna have a hard time writing tickets for racing if he loses all the time

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. For the defense to be successful, the defendant must demonstrate that the police induced an otherwise unwilling person to commit a crime.

I wouldn't see it as being "unwilling".

It was an officer in a personal car, nothing would have happened.
