I fought the law and...
Guess what? 
Was stopped by Rosarito's finest last night. Two cops accompanied by a soldier. You would think that would have prevented a shakedown, right? 
Thanks, Mr Mayor. I'm glad our boys in black are well protected.

40 dollars. The army guy was busy protecting the cops so I didn't have to pay him. But considering I had my business bank bag, expensive billiard cues
and musical equipment I guess I got off cheap.

ahhh. the good old days. When we only worried about police taking the small bribes. That doesn't even hit the radar any more.
$20 a head was nice of you- I'm sure they'll buy their masked bodyguard a taco or something.

Have you gone pro?
That's outrageous that the army is allowing the extortion to continue...someone call the cops!

Feel special. You have just been accepted into the ranks of "Frequent Doners." Where are all those folks here who constantly say, "Never but never
pay?"
So, give us the full scoop...what did you do to garner all this attention?

What's the point of protecting corrupt police officers? Talk about a system stuck on stupid.
The army guy should have turned around and killed those two cops. Who needs them? What's the point of protecting the currupt- that's how we got to
this point- isn't it? $20, $40, a simple extoriton , an express kidnapping... what's the diff? WHer do you draw the line? It's all the same...
shoot 'em.

Dave-- this should be in the "story forum". Then you could tell how you took them the the nearest pool hall, suckered them into a 9 ball game and got
your money back!!!
Hey thanks for the reminder "tis the season".

I haven't paid a bribe in ten years. If you are paying bribes, you are part of the problem.
If the officer insists on a bribe, I usually tell them I need the official receipt for my taxes. That seems to make them scratch their head and give
up. Usually the officer will ask you to follow him and within a block or two he will speed away empty handed. DO NOT PAY BRIBES, YOU ONLY PERPETUATE
THE PROBLEM. Insist on going to the headquarters and pay the fine.

If any one knows about bribes it's Dave. He's from Chicago, I mean New York so leave him alone. I'm sure he did what he had to.
