I think it'd be entrapment myself. It's common knowledge that revving your engine signals you want to race - it's leading on the person to do an illegal act without any possible way of knowing it's a cop.

Though, police have always gone around finding drug dealers by asking to buy drugs, but the dealers have the chance to ask if they are officers of the law, and if so, they can react accordingly. Yes, that's a 'loophole' but otherwise it would be entrapment.

You can't lure someone to commit a crime; that's entrapment AFAIK. Am I wrong?

Cheers,
Matt
