I too have heard of this.  They call it entrapment.  That is why when most 
cops are
out at night they at least have the parking lights on.  The ones I see 
without them
appear to be on break or doing paperwork and not looking for 
speeders.  Could be
total crap though, but I haven't seen any evidence to the contrary in 13 or 
so years
of driving.
