I know because the cop who gave me a ticket back in 1992 for speeding, was no where to be seen and when I took it to court, he admitted that he was not in a location that was visible to oncoming cars. He got reprimanded by the judge and every person he pulled over that night, got their tickets dismissed. Hiding is not persuasion, nor is it coercion. It is entrapment to set up radar where the cop car is not visible from the road.
Uhh no. Cops are not by any means required to be in a location that's visible to oncoming cars. If you got off, it was either for some other reason, or the judge was fucking stupid.
It's not entrapment at all to set up radar where the cop car is not visible from the road. In fact it's perfectly legal for police to hide. It's a tactic many police use.
