No, it isn't. Entrapment isn't simply a matter of law enforcement
having something to do with a crime. In order to use entrapment as a
defense you would have to prove that the cops went to extraordinary
measures to get you to commit a crime that you wouldn't have committed
anyway. You'd have to prove that you had no tendency towards the type
of crime and/or that you wouldn't have had opportunity to commit it.
