You really need to look up the definition of "entrapment"
Posted by  MikeC/NY of NY on 9/1/07 10:17pm Msg #209119
Asking someone if they're willing to do something illegal is not entrapment; inducing someone to do something illegal when they are initially unwilling to do so MAY be entrapment, but even then it's generally a defense against actions by police or other government officials rather than against private citizens.

You might also want to check on the definition of "solicitation". Asking someone whether they're willing to do something illegal doesn't mean you're soliciting an illegal act; asking them to actually PERFORM the illegal act is a different story.

I really think you're over-reaching here - all the original poster said was that her friend emailed a notary asking if she was willing to do work that the notary apparently knew she couldn't legally do. How is this any different from someone sending an email asking if she would be willing to backdate a document? If the notary is dumb enough to say "Yeah, I could do that" - in writing, no less - well, you can't fix stupid...
