California: So My brother just came back from the airport and was driving a manual car to where i was living and he got lost and kept stalling the car because it was his first time driving stick shift. He had called me so i pulled over to a spot that was easily seen for my brother. (It was lost and it was dark) on the side of the road for about 2 minutes while on the phone with him. A motorcycle cop then pulls up to me and i expain that I'm waiting here on the side so that i can flash my brights and my brother can find me. (a couple hundred feet away from where I was living.) The officer then asked if my brother knew where the popeyes chicken was(across the street) I said yes, and he said well, why don't you tell him to meet you there? I said thats a great idea and drove across the street. He then follows me and I'm thinking, Great! he's gonna try and help us. I then am stepping out of the car to try and wave him down and the officer tells me to stay in the car. (His lights didn't go off) I then asked, are you pulling me over? He said yes, I asked for what? He then said my taillights were off. (It was my roommates car i borrowed) So I explained that. He looked everything up, says that my license was suspended for failure to appear in court. (It was an out of state license case that i was out of state for. I previously had already made another case, went to court and had it dismissed by the judge who ruled i was a dual resident and stated my license was just fine w/ no incidents since so the suspended license was a huge surprise to me.) I explained that to him in which he said he hears this all the time and that the car had to be impounded and all this other nonsense. My friends told me that this is a classic example of entrapment since I wasn't driving, and that he should've told me about the taillights prior to me driving to Popeyes as the officer suggested. I just asked the cop for help and this is what i got. How should i handle it?
