The goat called the OP a liar, then mocked him when he tried to explain what happened.
That is enough to earn some contempt!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Ged, have you ever had the pleasure of spending most of a day at Ca DMV? A rectal inspection while having a tooth pulled is more enjoyable!

Woody,
You sure know how to party and have a good time....I am on the way over with a can of lube and a pair of pliers and a cordless drill...
But I hope I don't get pulled over for speeding on the way.....that would start another thread....
Don't believe everything you think....

Gary,
He didn't call him a liar....he simply repeated what a lot of traffic cops will say if you ask them about how people respond when getting a
ticket....most often for real infractions.
This whole Bad Baja Cops thing gets old....

The only time I go to the DMV is for my driver license renewal and I make an appointment then the wait is not long. For car registration I go to AAA,
fast and easy.

You can do most things online now. I just got my new drivers license.
People that go in to the office with out an appointment get what they deserve.

We said there is no way we were speeding and he asked if we thought he was lying. Of course we did, but we said no. He took my husband's driver
license and said to return to pay in the morning. We told him we were going to Loretto and couldn't return, but would go to the police station right
now. He said they were closed,...of course because it was almost 8:00 PM. His name was Louis Antonio and he said that he could take the money to the
station for me in the morning, but was unable to give us a receipt. We were tired, hadn't been hit up for a mordida in about 17 years, so we paid him
the 600 pesos, which was probably cheaper than buying a replacement drivers license. At the airport I was told about the fake drivers license copy
trick. Other people told me to take a photo of him, his car, his identification card. We are still angry about it today....

Really? Crying about losing $35 for all the joy Mexico bring you? Get a grip!

he told me I could only have 5 or I would have to go to customs which was closed and it would be illegal for him to ask me for the duty. I smiled at
him and asked how much he was not asking for and he said whatever you want. I gave $20 and have told the story so many times I feel I got my money's
worth. |
8-10 years ago, my MX buddy was driving his truck drunk. I was in the passenger seat with a 21 yo senorita on my lap. It was about 3am.
He gets out and talks back and forth with the cop for about 5 mins. Friend comes back to the car window and asks me for $20.
Then we were on our way.

Woody you are so funny! Just renewed my drivers license with an appointment, and it only took 10 minutes. However my husband was driving at the time
and we figured it was more hassle to get a new drivers license. The cops seem to know when you're frazzled and stressed. Last time we had a screaming
infant in the car. He had just quieted down and went to sleep in the car seat. I would've paid 100 bucks not to have to stop and go to the police
station. 😂 I figure we contributed to cirrhosis of the liver of this 👮 cop. I mainly posted it not to whine, but to people but to let people
know if you're going through that area to really be careful Or to have a plan ...

What do you do about getting the eye test, your picture taken, and signature. That is what I had to do the last time for renewal, otherwise they have
just sent me a new one with the old picture etc.

To be eligible for online, by phone and by mail renewals, you must:
Have a driver license that expires within 60 days.
Be less than 70 years old.
Not have a suspended license or driving probation.
Not have failed to appear in court within the past 2 years.
Not made your last 2 renewals by mail.
Not hold an out-of-state driver's license.

Just the price of doing business in Mexico....
I certainly do not condone crooked cops, but
I would MUCH rather pay a significantly smaller "fine" directly to the Cop than having having to deal with all the other B.S.
Question? Would you rather get a speeding ticket in the USA or Mex ? Thought so....

We are the "rich" Americans and can afford to give to the needy, no?

That's a very good attitude. The game has many levels. We consider it a play and pay as you go civil service bored game.
