"Anything you say can and will be used against you"
[QUOTE=Reaper400;2380580]Back in the day, when I picked up SW, the only thing out of my mouth before she got in the car was would you like a ride. Some would say would you like a date before I got a chance to talk? And I would totally ignore the? Anybody who rides the street can distinguish between a real girl and sting pretty easily. Never had a problem. Did get pulled once with girl in car and cops tried to be dicks and get me to admit something. Fuck them. Funny thing was the girl I had in the car never said a word about a date ect. Cops cuffed her and took her in. No idea why to this day.[/QUOTE]My guess is that the girl riding with you had an outstanding arrest warrant.
Like you said, experience builds savvy. It is not all that difficult to tell the difference. Some few guys never do figure it out, though.
I had a similar thing happen twice, and one of the two times, they actually let us go on our way together. The other time they split us up and asked me "What's her last name?" <no answer>
"Do you know you gave a ride to a known prostitute?" <no answer>
"Did she offer you anything?" <no answer> .
A few tense minutes later I was handed back my driver license, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance and was told to go. They kept my passenger.
