arrested for some listening i miss
school
[Music]
the video for today is going to show a
candid conversation between a police
officer and a prostitute who walks along
sullivan avenue in the hilltop
neighborhood of columbus ohio
this conversation happened because the
prostitute in this video was an
unidentified suspect in a theft that
occurred a few days before
yes can i have a cruiser to south aldrin
avenue
what's happening
we had a detective out here yesterday
named greg and he said if we see the
female that stole
my dad's house keys anything
to call
an officer out here so
they can identify
the woman
her information was needed so the report
could be updated and a detective could
follow up
a couple things worth noting in this
conversation
is the technique the officer used to
gain the information that he required
and also the ease and the comfortability
that this female had
talking to the police i would also like
to point out that the way this woman
talks about her substance abuse and her
mental health these are conversations
that are very common with prostitutes in
these neighborhoods
so with all that being said
i hope you enjoy this video i hope you
learned something
and i'll talk to you soon
what's going on
hey
hold up a second
what
why out here dancing around yeah she's
comfy on this lot asking customers for
money okay and we keep telling her she
can't do that
i'll take care of it
she's been out here since seven o'clock
this morning i've been here since six
okay yeah sure i'll talk to her if you
walk away thank you
[Music]

with me for a moment
right
what's your name
jasmine what i'm not from here
you police officers we are very friendly
we're very friendly
i try to be friendly
it's easier to be friendly than it is to
be meant to get to know people knowing
everything they do and especially the
ones that are walking

face
every day too
