You knew it was wrong to speed, but you chose to do it. It becomes entrapment when you [U]have knowledge of your actions. A john knows he's breaking the law by soliciting a prostitute. Red-light racer knows he's breaking the law by taking off and moving at 60 in a 35.
It's entrapment if a cop incites an illegal action that you would not otherwise have done.
