I hardly ever see cop cars with the lights off positioned for the kill. I saw one the other day though, waiting for speeders and I just wanted to know: are they allowed to not have any lights on at all while they try to find people to give tickets to?

This act is totally legal. Try to think of it as in terms like you see on cops when they do the undercover drug or prostitution stings. Basically the same situation. He is laying and waiting (even purposefully hidden sometimes) for you to break the traffic law.
The officer can be sitting anywhere doing anything and watch you commit the crime. He does not have to identify himself at all to watch the crime in commision, or hang a neon sign within ten feet of him alerting people to his presence.

Sadly, many people misunderstand the term "Entrapment." They think police hiding behind bushes and billboards is just that. They're WRONG! Entrapment is where someone is "enticed" into breaking the law. If you're speeding...I doubt anyone is responsible other than the person with the lead foot on the accellerator!

Not in California but its not legal everywhere. Rules like this follow under city codes as well. It wouldnt be a state regulation. It would vary by county or city and police department. In my state and city they are suppose to keep on parking lights....for safety. As far as if they do it all the time who knows.

I don't know if it's legal or not but it is done in every state of the Union. Just don't speed and you'll be fine.
