I think you might be correct, but it's a state-by-state thing. I would imagine that "hiding" falls under the entrapment clause of the law. For example, it is true that a cop cannot follow you, without lights on, waiting for you to speed. By following you and waiting for you to break the law, that's entrapment.
This case is a little different. I know that, where I am, there's plenty of times where a police car "hides" to oncoming traffic, but no to opposing traffic. This is usually behind a burn or sound wall. In fact, PA turnpike constructors actually build places like this for the state police to sit.
California might be different. I'd suggest talking to a friend who is a policeman or lawyer if you're that interested.
