See my post on entrapment / abuse of process. He can show up and plead guilty and then argue the case should be thrown out. He can take responsibility for his actions but also ask the court to address the misconduct of the state by staying the proceeding.
One can argue that paying the fine and taking the demerits is the only pure form of taking full responsibility but being baited by police into committing an offence you were not otherwise going to commit is seen in our system of justice as diminishing your true responsibility.
