Of course not, nor did I say it did. But it gives me a small clue as to the political leanings of this woman (an artist + Cuba = probable strong leftist) . Yes, that is an assumption on my part. It also gives me a clue as to why she reacted so strongly.
Neither does her presence in an area noted for prostitution.
If they are trying to keep prostitutes out of an area, one way to do it is to approach them and ask them to move along, harass them a bit. Yeah, it is not 'by the book' but that type of police work is appreciated by others. A woman standing by herself on a street corner in an area of possible prostitution activity should not be too surprised if a cop approaches her.
I suppose if he asked her for a 50-50, she would have then sued for sexual harassment.
How many women just trying to mind their own business are doing so on a known prostitute corner?
If one wants to evade detection, one stays out of the range of the radar screen.
