I'm only going by information I found here:

"Myth #3 – Cops can’t hide when running Radar – Cops can park wherever they want to nail speeders. There is no law saying they can’t hide when searching for speeders. Some people call this entrapment, but that defense won’t get you very far in traffic court."
If there is such a law in maryland (or there may have been, and it might not be a law anymore), then I certainly stand corrected for that state (though most states do allow police to conceal themselves)
In any case it's still not entrapment. It'd be a case of police breaking a law, and it being thrown out for that purpose. He wouldn't have entrapped anyone. Because everyone would still be breaking the law of their own volition. They'd only have NOT broken the law in order to avoid getting caught.
