A cop doesn't tell you to do something then book you. What they do is see if you will comprise a deal and then see if you go through with the deal. Almost the same tatic they use for a drug bust they use on a racing bust. You agree to race this person, not aware they are an undercover. You go out on the street and line up with them. That's enough to get you. Almost like you taking the cash and handing over the dope. You sealed the deal before even splitting.
There's no trap if you line up with them. They rev at you and you "decide" to go then that was your own fault. You don't know if someone's a cop yet a lone know if they are a bystander with an M16 sitting on their passenger seat. You haven't seen it yet but go drive around Orlando. Some cars they have impounded due to street racing they now use them as undercover cop cars for street racing busts. Ranging from Honda's, VW's and even a Subaru. You line up its fair game.
When you at somewhere "watching" street racing. They have the right to block off every road possible and detain everyone. You will receive a spectating citation. So yes they have the right to trap you. You haven't experienced yet. You think they are going to say, "Oh you can go... you weren't racing"? They are going to give everyone there tickets.
Every state is different.
