I don't see how a cop hiding is luring the speeder to speed.

Exactly. And one of the keys to a successful entrapment defense is a showing that the defendant wasn't "pre-disposed" to commit the crime and wouldn't have committed it but for the police enticing him into committing it.
I don't know of any law that ever said a cruiser had to be "visible" to oncoming speeders. I think it resulted from a practical matter, ie, older types of radar needing a clear line of sight to be effective.
