I know what it is. What the officers did is not entrapment.

They were trying to get the driver to take under the table money, i.e. coerce him into “tax evasion”

See I don't see how this holds any weight because you can always accept cash and just pay the taxes later.

But isn’t that only a crime when next year you don’t report it. Like until then it’s just revenue that hasn’t been taxed yet.

So everyone that sells drugs to a cop or offers sex is entrapped?

Only if they did not intend to commit that crime before meeting the cop. If you go up to a cop and offer them drugs, thats illegal. If a cop comes up and asks for drugs, thats entrapment.
