MORDIDA..CIUDAD CONSTITUCION


Hola,

BETWEEN LORETO AND LA PAZ

We left to drive home to Santa Cruz last week. On the way through south Constitution we were pulled over by a younger policeman who had another policeman in the vehicle. Neither officers had weapons in their holsters. He stated that we drove through a stop sign. He wanted us to pay 1000 pesos to him. We told him to take us to his captain and the office. We followed him through a residential area that began to look "wrong", we ended up parking in front of a small cement building next to some houses with a hand painted "emblem" on it, no letters etc... looked bogus. With the other policeman looked on from the door way we negotiated the pay off to about 200 pesos. He did not want to write a ticket. Watch for broken street lights in Constitution, could be a good way to get pay offs from tourists.
==============================

THEY'RE AT IT AGAIN !

I AM JUST PASSING INFO !!

BIEN SALUD, JAMES H

that's just terrible .... I guess maybe we need a map of where the police station really is, so if we are pulled over we can get there pronto.

Mordidas are bad; :fire:

And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.

Yeah, it is (terrible). We were carrying the cellphone number of the chief when we went through (or at least thought we were <g>) but fortunately didn't need it. The place has been notorious for many years but fortunately for me, I've never had a problem. (Neither will I stop there for anything but a stop sign/light and will not spend a peso there.
