yes because he is showing himself to be someone other than an officer of the law and that is illegal and he cannot use any of the information obtained against you
if he were to do that and he goes into your house and he sees you smoking meth, next to your marajuana plant while beating babies he cannot use that information against your at all

No, that's not entrapment. Entrapment is a defense where you prove that you would not have committed the crime had it not been for the inducement of the police officer.
What you're talking about sounds like an undercover operation, which happens all the time.

Yes he can.
How do you think undercover officers operate? Think they identify themselves as cops?
Entrapment is when a police officer induces you to commit a crime that, without his input, you had no intention of committing.

It is perfectly legal. Undercover officers are quite common actually.
If the undercover officer coerces you to do something, then it is entrapment.

Depending on their intentions, they well within their rights, call it, going undercover.
For example, a cop goes up to a druggy house to 'score', 'gathering evidence for a big bust', he's not going to score in uniform.

He is not coercing you to commit criminal acts, so it would not be considered entrapment.

You don't see that as ironic, everyone wants the cops to be fair and honest, all the while being criminals and breaking the law.
