How many Nomads or visitors have been given worse treatment for showing off their toys? Don't they kinda expect that? It's not like I'm photographing
them.

I can already see it.
"Oh, so your using that equipment for helping narcos?"
"Oh, so your using that to take pictures of little boys?"
"Oh, so your using that to spy on mexican women?"
And then.
"Lets go to the delegacion to bring some experts and figure this one out ok?"
By this time, 20 bucks would seem like a bargain.

Good one, roflmao, I'll tell Rodorado to try that next time.

Funny, I never get questioned like that. Or maybe I just don't understand them. Either way is this how "locals" like yourself get treated?
Must be luck then....
btw, are you justifying mordita?

I am jst saying that while it might work with most cops, if you run into the wrong one, he can turn things around and use it against you to really get
some cash.
I am against mordida, but simply mentioning "sindicatura" will get you out of trouble.

I think Jesse has a good point. However, the cop-cams would be very discreet, and the printouts of various crooked cops would be housed in a plain
manila envelop. It would also be great to pictures of those who stage accidents.

I'd be more worried about becomming a target from truly corrupt cops by flashing all the fancy electronics. Sure, you might "oh and ah" some cops;
but, they are not as stupid as you may think.
Funny thing is - if you go out to your rig the next day and see all the fancy electronics stripped out of it.. Who are you going to report it too?
The cops may be too busy playing with all your cool stuff to bother taking a report.

They'll probably give you a ticket for obscuring the windshield. I'd leave all
that stuff at home. It would take several lifetimes of fines and mordidas to pay for one hijacking or theft. I'd just bring traveler's checks and
disguise them as your chief source of currency.

Thanks for the foto, sharks!
I think I may do this for the RV. I don't think my Prius can hold all the screens, monitors, and GPS.
I am muy impressed, sharks!

If you use this:
http://www.supercircuits.com/Digital-Video-Recorders/Micro-D...
You can copy it to your computer, burn DVD's (with sound) and drop them off or mail to people......start a publicity campaign without actually
divulging who you are...........just DVD's showing up with crooked people on video.........

how many times do you get pulled over? I've been pulled over twice in 25+ years and let go after asking to pay the fine with the judge.

We have a little DVDplayer that is part of the system. THere are AV in/out in the back at the foot of the console.
Also a 20amp AC outlet plus an xtra 12v DC output ,for a Video Game Console that is mounted in one of the small well under the back seat.
The whole system is integrated and I can in/out any of my toys. I have three separate GPS elements and each performs differently.
A Pioneer Vehicle Dynamics component(I posted about it years back) reads a variety of inputs like tilt angles, torque , HP acceleration, and you can
program it to mark and record waypoints and play it back virtually on the screen
One input is for the back-up camera that I swap out between my bike trailer and my enclosed hauler.

No dichotomy involved with seeking out the most remote and pristine places in the world to chill at, and carrying along a plethora of state of the art
electronic toys that connect to everyone, everywhere real time all the time?

Yep, I figure, "What the Hell" I love this stuff. I have some more to show you later with the GPS Google interface.
I built the system so I can always add or subtract components. Many of these parts are very cheap, it's a matter of getting them to be compatable.
Not always an easy task. I've upgraded it many times.

Perhaps what Jesse means is this action would be like "throwing down the gauntlet." A challenge that could have bad repurcussions.
Then again, I'm never quite sure what Jesse means so maybe he could explain it to us. |
Back when Rosarito gringos were being targeted a friend was pulled over by the police. While they were discussing the alleged infraction she told the
officer she would call her attorney and began dialing. The cop took her phone.
