Ok, so a while ago, a very close ex colleauge of mine told me that he was on his way, drunk from a party and saw a 'hooker' and curiosly asked her 'how much for a blow job' This is a popular hooker street. The girls said ' No I'm not a hooker, he ashamedly, profusely apolosised. So he walked on and three policemen, undercover came to him and handcuffed him for lewd behaviour etc. The took him to the police station and said he had a caution and took his fingerprints etc. though they say said his parents would no tnow about etc now is he is worried that he is a sex offender.
What worries me the most was that at the time he told me, I got a hit and run while 8 months pregnant. I crossed at a lights and some angry guy came rushing towards me even though the rules cleary state to not harrass someone already crossing lights. I was too shocked to take the full number plates and had a partial and a sign on his car. I then filled in a police report and was told because I did not have the full registration they could do nothing. But the next lights had a camera and I gave them the exact time I got hit and what time they coud see him in the previous and next camera. .
AIBU?
to think the police need to be occupied by more serious crimes

I am sure that I am on a hiding to nothing here but I will try again anyway;
The woman was on a 'known street for prostitutes' and she was part of a sting operation to probably stop this happening, hence the four pcs.
Obviously the woman wasn't hurt and couldn't be as she had police watching her, but that isn't the point is it?
If she had been someone's daughter waiting for a lift from a friend's house then your 'friend' would have possible really frightened her. Is that ok with you?
I can't understand why you are comparing what happened to you (which again, was terrible) with a completely unrelated case? 
I'm really by this - and, yes, I have read the whole thread. The two events are unrelated. What happened to you was very unpleasant, as was what your friend did. You seem to be under the misconception that "hookers" are there as consenting adults. You may find a little bit of reading up on the sex industry would prove illuminating. Regardless of whether it was a sting operation, your colleague was still behaving in a nasty misogynistic way.
I'm glad you wer not injured in the car incident OP, but really you YABVVU to be defending your colleague like you are
I used to work nights at a halifax bank call centre in leeds on street well known for street prostitution(city centre).
One night before starting work at 9pm as I walked from my bus a man pulled alongside in a car and asked 'how much love'. I told him to fuck off, quite loudly and clearly. He did not fuck off but followed alongside me until I got to the security gate at the entrance to the car park.
Silly twat then turned around and sped off. We called the police and someone from the vice team came out to see me and look at the security footage from the gate.
About a week later they came back (with rape alarms for all of us who did nights) and said that the man in question had been visited at his home in london, with his wife present, and was asked not to harrass people for sex whilst he was away from home on business.
I think your friend got off very lightly.
