Fine for not stopping
I am happy to report the fine for not completely stopping at a stop sign in San Felipe is 121.86 ---- pesos that is.

The trip to the police station
is very interesting.. ...especially if it is late on a Saturday evening!
I wish those traffic fines were the same here in CA!

Even at that amount, if they would fine everyone in Mexico for making,so called, California stops, they would need a hundred cashiers at every police
station to collect these fines. What revenue. Would be better then having to put up with a bunch of gringos for money.

The fine for stopping at a stop sign in La Paz is likely a crumpled rear end.

If you stop legally in Mulege..you will suffer a whiplash at best. When in Rome......

Well, it was last night Meme, coming home from dinner in town. Saw them parked on Chemal and thought "guess their getting a taco" - a couple blocks
later I saw the flashing lights. Stopped and he came up and said I hadn't completly stopped a couple blocks back - and Of course, I hadn't. Gave him
my license and he said would keep it and go to the station> I told him I know whow it's done, thats OK, we'll follow you. He laughed and asked
it I had done this before and I told him yes. He said "Many times?" and I said no just a few. Followed him and didn't have to stop at any of the Alto
signs since he didn't. My wife and I laughed about that. At the station his partner - a new female, wrote the ticket, asking him how to fill it in.
We chatted about a ex police chief I knew etc and I got the ticked went to the front to the Judge? He told me the fine, I paid and got receipt,
showed it to the dispatcher and I'm on the way home again - 15-20 min from stop to go.
