Busted while dreaming in Detroit
Reading about what other guys have gone thru, I thought I would share by exprerience of being busted.
I was in the neighborhood of Michigan and Livernois in the 1990's.
The better (or needy) part of me saw something I couldn't resist. I pulled up, she asked if I wanted a date, and I stupidly, and quicky said yes. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by Detoit LE. They placed me in handcuffs and took me downtown. One of the LE drove my car downtown also.
They never put me in a cell but did keep me handcuffed to a railing where I was sitting. After what seemed a few hours, they released me and gave me a ticket for solicitation of a officer. I was able to drive my own car home.
I did hire an attorney who pleaded the charge down to disturbing the peace and it is supposedly expunged from my record. I did pay a fine. The arresting officers were at the court and did say I did not cause any problems.
I was told that if I was caught again, I would forfeit my car and also have to spend some time in jail.
Needless to say, I don't monger very often but when I do, I try to be extremely careful.
My experience differs quite a bit from others that I have read so I have to ask? Has the law changed in the D or is this a repeat offense?
I thought that the first time (although traumatic) was very light. Is it different now? I don't want to find out first hand.
Be careful out there.

Triangle Recon - Monday Night
Did a drive of the Triangle last night. Spent about 25 minutes doing a leisurely circle of GR, Tele, and the street behind the motel. From 615-640.
Only saw one girl, and I'm not sure if she was even working. White. Looked to be in too good of physical and mental shape to be working, and disappeared when I did the circle for another look. She may have been picked up, or may have been a resident. Couldn't tell.
Did see a WC Sheriff's SUV driving up and down the north and south streets. Couldn't tell if they were working hobbyist detail, or just looking for suspicious activity.
For such a beautiful night, I was surprised at how little action was out.
