She refused to believe this woman when she said she enjoys her work. However, I wouldn't say that street workers hardly care about being arrested, because we can't just speak for them. I learned that some street workers go into more desolate areas to avoid arrest, or refuse to get into a car with somebody they believe is an undercover cop, which indicates that they do not wish to be arrested. Just because they're the most likely sex workers to be arrested doesn't mean they don't care.
