They will use anything to pull over a gringo, to get some money out of them!
One time there, they stopped me for excessive speeding with a old
radar gun! Ha, it showed 86 mph yes, 86 not kilometers! They tried to give me
a ticket for going down a one way (2 way street)! And one time I was
speeding going down that grade where the stop sign is, and where they want donations, not paying attention that I was going about 20 kl over the speed limit, there were 5 cops standing there, and pulled me over. One cop walked about 40 ft away were I stopped past them. But everytime I got stopped they wanted money to fix it! Funny thing I don't know how, in English, I always talked, my way out of not paying! I think I talked them to death, then they let me go on, without paying! Really! But one day my luck will run out! Anything they say is illegal, that they can get money out of you!
