A rumour has got back to me about an unmarked police car, which is a gold BMW 5 series probably an M5, operating between Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, possibly on the M5 motorway.

Apparently what they're doing is coming up close behind sports cars, and if they react by putting their foot down, they then put the blue light on and pull them over for speeding.

Would they do this? If so is this entrapment?

In all fairness, if I have someone driving too close, I slow down, and will slow down to a painfully slow pace to make a point, and usually that works.

But that's potentially fatal on the motorway, especially if your in the outside lane, and there isn't space in the middle lane to pull over.
 
Here in the US, highways have a minimum speed that is needed to be maintained. In the area where I live it is a difference of 25 MPH (i.e. 40/65; 45/70). As long as you don't slow down too much or too quickly, you should be fine and they will leave you alone.
 
I can't imagine the would actually do this but technically the could...it is NOT entrapment...you still have the power to slow down or move over...there is no need to speed up because someone is behind you.
