She tells Sam to meet her in 15 minutes at a motel room around the corner. Sam says, "You aren't a cop are you?" Suzy just laughs at the question. When Sam gets to the motel room, he is arrested by other vice officers and charged with violating the prostitution statute.

B) constitutes entrapment because she did not identify herself as a police officer when asked. C) constitutes entrapment because she dressed in sexy clothing to lure possible customers.
