[QUOTE=FlavorFul1;5285292]Worth repeating. "The best thing to do is to simply offer her a ride. If she refuses to get in then drive off. ".
Do not talk about anything! Do not do the "cop check" through the window. In some areas (Tampa for one) that is a separate crime "Precursor to prostitution" from which cops are exempt!
DO.[/QUOTE]This is very good advice. I have talked to decoys a number of times in my "mongering career", and haven't had any issues. Most of these encounters have been in other cities, but did have a conversation with one in Tampa several years ago. I rolled up, she was standing on a corner (flag #1), looked too good (flag #2). Asked her if she wanted a ride. She responded with "are you looking for a date? I said, "no, just thought you might want a ride". She said "to do what?
By this time, I knew she was a decoy. So I made the most of it. I said, "listen, this is a bad neighbourhood, it is not safe for a girl like you to be out here at this time of night. I just thought it was better for you to get out of this area. ".
She responded in her best Officer Friendly voice, said "thank you for your concern, sir. Please drive safely!" LOL.
I drove off, doubled back on a side street and watched the action. They nabbed 3 guys in the span of like 10 minutes.
The "stupidest Monger award" goes to the poor bastard up in Polk County, one of Grady Judd's stings. They were doing a hotel sting, this dumbass walks into the sting room, and before any words were exchanged, this idiot grabs the decoy's pussy for the "LE check"! So instead of getting busted on a simple misdemeanour solicitation charge, he wound up with a felony sexual assault charge.
