Legal Answer
No. Entrapment occurs when a person is pressured into committing a crime by a police officer. Additionally the person would not be inclined to commit the criminal act. The facts you presented do not even come close to entrapment. You were driving without license plates, and the police officer observed the act. After observing the lack of license plates the police officer stopped your vehicle.
