Prostitutes working with LE?

I was eating my lunch in my truck in the business park where NAPA use to be located. I had my windows down enjoying the breeze when and this officer pulled up recklessly. I thought he was going to say something about me trespassing, but he got out of his car and smoked a cigarette. Then a younger white prostitute with black hair and wearing bright pink shorts walked down the hill. They were standing apart I guess because of Covid, but that gave me the ability to hear much of what they said. She was telling him that someone has Delaware tags, so I thought at first maybe she was a victim of a crime. But then she started saying how another guy does not pick up women and that he just drives by and stares at them. She went on telling him that there was a Hispanic guy out offering women $5. 00 and crack, and how creepy he was. She gave a description of his car but when she noticed me looking at her from my side mirror, she lowered her voice. I wasn't able to hear anything else. They obviously had a friendly relationship and there was familiarity there. She walked back up the hill and looked at something, and came back down and said something to the officer and he got in his car and took off. She walked in the opposite direction going towards McDonald's. After a while I left too and decided to leave the area. So is the game now to let the prostitutes do what they want as long as they are giving LE information? I don't know.
[blue]To what end? Is that hooker going to testify in court? Will she be a witness to a misdemeanor offence? Solicitation in Maryland is not a felony, she's just putting money into the bank for when he catches her with crack.
