Handled the LE encounters well!
[QUOTE=RobertABouy;5798845]I have been pulled over 2 X over the years leaving a parlor. One time in Providence, RI, I just got in my car and hadn't even started it and a cop came up and tapped on my window. He asked me for my license and registration and I asked him what the issue was. Car was off! He said I didn't have my seatbelt on. My response was the car isn't on so I don't need it yet. He then insisted on getting my license and registration and I obliged. He came back and asked where I had been. I said nothing. He demanded I answer. Still nothing. He finally said to me that he wanted me to step out of the car which I did. He continued to ask questions. Kept it shut. He then said "you must think I'm stupid". All I said "am I being charged or ticketed?" He said no. So I politely said "So I am leaving then. Have a nice evening". He followed me for 5 miles after that waiting for me to fuck up. Which I didn't. I am 100% sure he didn't see me leave the parlor. But I was parked right in front. He can assume all day, but zero proof. Keep your mouth shut.
The other time, I was in Edmonton in Canada and had a taillight malfunction on my rental car. The cop saw I was nervous and said, don't sweat it, the spas are legal up here. No ticket, still damn near shit my pants.[/QUOTE]You are absolutely correct, LE can "assume all day", that's no reason whatsoever to give them more information. Even if a cop were crazy enough to make an arrest in the scenario you described, a prosecuting attorney would be ethically required to drop the charges. When prosecutors file charges, they MUST believe that they can prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, no way they can meet that standard with nothing more than a guy walking out of a massage parlor, even where that parlor is known to offer "services" beyond an actual massage. You did the right thing by refusing to offer any additional information, and the cop did the right thing by letting you go.
