It's weird how that turns out to be good news. Years gone by they would not have been arrested. Progress!

Good progress and if more are arrested and STAY arrested, maybe the kidnappings etc. will stop or at least lessen.

Don’t be so sure. I think this is a case where the 2 cops kidnapped the “wrong” guy. In this case, he was ”wrong” because a higher-up
authority got mad. The cops would have been ignored if they had just stayed in their lane and stuck to their usual crimes and usual prey.
Also, they may have screwed up by doing the kidnapping while on camera. This article says their is surveillance video of the crime: https://zetatijuana.com/2022/09/exigen-justicia-para-jose-al...
Hard for the deep state to cover for the cops when they were caught on camera!

Where in Canada are you? You might be surprised at how many native Spanish speakers there are around. I used to live in the Comox Valley on Vancouver
Island.
I had a friend there who was Mexican, married to a Canadian. She had a birthday party I went to, there were lots of Spanish speakers from Mexico,
Columbia, Peru, Nicaragua, and they all lived in the Comox Valley.
Don't just assume there aren't any around- you have to put out feelers, do some research.
Would speaking Spanish help to combat corruption? On a individual basis, yes, perhaps. Like paying mordida. A friend who owned a vacation home in my
Mexican town got stopped for speeding the first day of one of her trips here in the rental car she was driving from the airport. (She was speeding, it
wasn't bogus, she always drives too fast) The cop said he would write her a ticket and that he'd have to take her Canadian driver's license. Because
her Spanish was rudimentary, she freaked out and didn't understand what he was trying to explain- that her license would be returned to her when she
went to the transito office to pay the fine. Instead she foolishly handed over 2000 pesos so he'd let her off.
He wasn't even angling for mordida in the beginning, but when he realized how scared and desperate she got, he soaked the dumb gringa for a wad of
cash. Had she understood Spanish, she would have grasped how the license confiscation worked and where she had to go to pay the fine and paid less
than half of what she had bribed him.

I had a young Mexican couple from Mexico City as Airbnb guests. 3 of their 4 parents were lawyers for the federal govt. The young woman was studying
political science at university.
We were chatting over coffee and got onto the subject of corruption in Mexico. They didn't defend it at all, or try to explain that it was part of the
culture- they said it was a serious problem that was an embarrassment on the international stage and that their generation was going to change that.
They were young and idealistic and I wish them luck.

I had a very similar situation. There was a tall truck in front of me blocking the view of the light. When he drive through the intersection, I
followed him. Had I put on the brakes, the car behind me, which was tailgating, would have hit me. I heard the siren and got pulled over a block
later.

I'll assume by ''office'' you mean police station.
There was a story posted here years ago about an older couple having a rough time at the station in Tecate.
A neighbor in Pesky had a bad outcome at a station in Ciudad.
The station might be the correct way to pay a fine. Think the odds are more favorable negotiating on the street. Gnu Paul has great strategy in
dealing with cops.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
