      Generally not. Entrapment is very specific, and leaving you the option of doing something illegal without pushing you to do it is decidedly not entrapment.

      To add more detail to the other reply, it’s only entrapment if they coerce you into doing something you wouldn’t have otherwise done.

      A cop comes up to you and goes ‘bro, lets go steal that car!’ would probably be entrapment.

      Cops putting a car on a street waiting for someone to steal it wouldn’t be.
