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.

No wonder no one bothers to stop.

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.

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.
