Details:
Another straight forward bust. I was setup in a community center parking lot near SW 38 and S. Robinson Ave. (parked next to a police car). Judd picked up a black female prostitute that was soliciting across the street from the park and community center. Judd then took the female into a nearby neighborhood and straight to a large field - where they parked.
When confronted the two simply fled.

Also Mentioned in the Video:
It's true. One day this girl flipped me off at SW 40 and S. Robinson Ave. I didn't think anything of it - but a cop saw her and came over and asked me to sign a complaint so he could arrest her. I complied - she's a loud mouth pain in the ass.
I don't know what 'Crystal' said to this Sonic employee - but she hoped out of her car and looked ready to try and whip Crystal's ass. Crystal is pretty street savvy though - so I don't know if she could have done it.
There was a time where seeing 20-30+ street prostitutes within a couple of blocks on S. Robinson was very common. Not so much since about 2012. I also try and get clips showing the proximity of this illegal behavior to children in the area.
Those girls were actually running from a rival pimp that was circling the area. That Instagram pic is Judd's car as he picked up a prostitute in full view of that police car parked across the street.
Sad, but true. I have personally seen girls as young as 11 working S. Robinson Ave. Until recently it was rare to see juveniles. In the last several years, 16 is a pretty common age to see them. Here is an interview I did with ch9 regarding child prostitution in OKC (link).
Despite the attitude that these women are consenting adults who choose to sell their bodies - most are actually under the control of vicious pimps.
Not to overstate the obvious - but confronting criminals can get you hurt or killed. Not to mention the pimps are sometimes lurking about in the shadows.
JohnTV recently started adding this commentary from an Oklahoma City Police officer to the end of newly released JohnTV videos. This clip was shot while a French film crew was in town do a feature on JohnTV's Brian Bates. While filming, this officer pulled up to see what we were doing. The french videographer and I captured this enlightening opinion by an officer who knows these streets well.
