One of the officers tells the others about a "white pick-up truck" that has stopped near one of the women. An undercover vice officer has driven up to one of the alleged prostitutes on Lankershim Boulevard.
The officer was looking for the woman to make a proposition, but instead, the officer informs the other that she asked him, "Are you a cop? I don't want to deal with it. The driver rolls down the car's window and the woman approaches. The officer observes that she is "leaning on the window now, and now she's backing away.
The female "chase officer" asks the first officer, "Did she load up enter the vehicle or not? The first officer tells her that the possible prostitute will probably meet her potential customer again at the side street. The female officer now believes that the possible prostitute has indeed "loaded up" inside the man's car. The first undercover officer is observing the car from a different angle, but doesn't see the possible prostitute in the car. The first undercover vice officer discusses with yet another undercover officer the certain 'work procedure' of the particular prostitute they are observing.
The alleged prostitute wants the potential customer to "touch her" before she agrees to get inside the customer's vehicle. This seems to be a tip for the officers that a transaction for possible sexual services is happening.
So far the woman has not "loaded" into a customer's vehicle, therefore the officers can only charge her for a "22" loitering to commit prostitution , at the moment. They will wait for a more serious crime to occur. The undercover vice operation continues. The female police 'look-out' observes a possible prostitute and her possible pimp circling around in their car, scoping out the parking lot where the police look-out is stationed.
