Is that not entrapment? Is that not what happened to this guy in the park?
I'll elaborate on what I said before to make my thoughts more clear:
Let us say that an undercover officer is selling guns out of the back of a car. Someone stops by and purchases a gun. Let's look at this person because, as DC and I said (and you may agree), intent of the entrapped goes toward entrapment. Who purchases a gun from the trunk of a car? I can't speak for anyone else, but if I was in the market for a gun, I'd probably go to a gun store, wait for the background check, and purchase the gun legally.

Someone who doesn't walk away from what is essentially, "Would you like an illegal gun?" is obviously on the market for a gun and is willing to do it illegally. That's the intent.

The firefighter in the park? His only intent is any man's intent: hot topless woman is flirting with you, try to nail her! Had she not been there in this obviously impossible situation, there's no evidence to suggest that he would expose himself to anyone (in public). It was her idea for him to whip out his dong. When he walked up to her, it wasn't his intent to whip out his dong in public, presumably. The intent with this guy? He wanted to fuck her, obviously. His intent approaching the situation wasn't public nudity.

I hope that's more clear.
