Fundamentally, entrapment is tricking an innocent person into committing a crime
For example, it would be entrapment to sell someone what he thinks is a box of candy when it's actually full of crack cocaine
It would NOT be entrapment to sell someone what he thinks is crack cocaine, when it's actually rock candy. That person would be guilty of attempted drug possession.
Likewise, Serrano took the disks after being told that the disks contained evidence of his crimes. Not entrapment
Besides, as Redsfan001 points out, Serrano already showed up with the Duke, so he's guilty of kidnapping before they even set up the trap
Here's something that isn't entrapment but SHOULD be: a few years ago in Florida, a 25-year-old undercover cop got an 18-year-old high school student to sell her pot. He wanted to give it to her (she's very attractive) but she insisted on paying him.
Then they charged him with selling drugs.
