If you go indonesia, it is ok as long as you stay in a hotel. They are required to report to the police on your behalf. It allows you to stay up to 30 days. However, if you are staying in a friend's house, you are required to report to the police within 24 hours, which cost about 15K rupiah. They will issue you a Note.
They have no rights to stop you while you are in a shopping mall, unless they have very good reasons. Usually, they can't be bothered. They would rather patrl the streets to "collect" money. So be more careful if you drive.
Hotel Raids? They dont do so unless you are taking drugs. And if they catch you with a call gal and drugs, you know someone set you up.
If they decided to come to your hotel room to search for drugs, be sure NEVER HAND YOUR BAGS freely to them. Ask them to show their hands before touching ANYTHING, just in case they plant it. Also, if they want to search your bag, YOU OPEN for them to see, never let them touch. Dont be afraid of them. Or if you are at KTVs, that is more prone to raids. So dont go alone, go with seniors or locals whom you know well.
Your gal is working there, so she should know all these. Anymore things, PM me.
