Maybe, but I'm not sure why it matters. Officers may have seen you get into the car and then arranged for you to be stopped later, but there is nothing wrong with such actions.

If you're asking whether the owner of the car set you up, then I don't know how to answer. There are many possible explanations of the officer's knowledge that you were in the car. It's possible, for example, that an officer who saw you driving by recognized you and arranged for the stop.
