nope, entrapement is where you have no other reasonable option but to break the law. youd be surprised, may speed trap set ups are a radar car, who clocks you and call you in to the signal officers who signal you to slow down and normaly down the road is a persuit car.
the role of an office is that of order maintenance( being seen and hence detering many crimes)
responsive ( responding to 911 calls and things he observes)
and investigation
on a side note, why should the presence of an uniformed officer be nessasary to the punishment of criminals? i mean i like ideas like this, and opose ideas like traffic cameras so im just interested in your, or anyone elses opinion
