We tried that one when stopped last year during the height of the Constitucion problems . He took one look at the expired license and said "this one
is no good" with the expression like "ah,ha! Now I've got them".
Wooo had to quickly back-pedal with "oops, here is the current one" and then they played tug of war because he refused to surrender the real one to
the cop. We were eventually on our way with the license because he had told us that the cop shop was closed and Wooo said he would only had it over at
the station and it came to a stand-off. Not worth his effort for a false infraction.
My friend was pulled over for not wearing his seatbelt in Cd C and the cop took his license and told him to go to the station. He waited in line for a
while with about 10 other people and the cop arrived with a pocket full of licenses. He gave them to the judge who returned them after they each paid
their fine.
Right or wrong, that seems to be the procedure there too.
Good idea about the laminated copy.

You got me there, can't answer that, partly because I can't
understand your ?
Is it Diplomatic Unity? or Immunity? Nice try, better luck next time. As for profiling, yes I stopped driving the
VW Bus, with surfboards, and open Coronas a while back
probably saved me some pesos

Got stopped again in La Paz by two female police yesterday on Septiembre 16th street. Nothing was apparently wrong, they wanted to check my
registration to see if it was current. Upon verifying that it was current, they then asked me for my drivers license. I showed them a copy, and they
said that they wanted to see the original. I told them that all my original everythings were at my house. They looked at me for 5 seconds, then sent
me on my way.
Not looking at them in the eye didn't work because it was their intent to stop each and every vehicle they could. Not a selective process, an all
inclusive comprehensive fishing process.
Dinero!
