It does not sound like entrapment it is really not fair to evaluate a case without even having a lab test or a police report to review.

If the officer saw the accident or the aftermath of the accident, he had a right to stop your husband. If your husband was cited for no registration, he should hire an attorney to represent him in court.

Is this left from a person or from a business? It would definitely be a misdemeanor. You might be eligible for a diversion program which could keep the conviction off of your public record. At worst you would probably be looking at probation. Jail is a possibility but not likely. At least have a lawyer review the case before you agree to anything. The case may be weak or there may be problems which could get the charges reduced or dismissed.
