I had the same thing in Down-By-God West Virginny on the road trip back to the mid-west, except it was a butt crack showing mechanic, not a federale.
That's what you get for prancing around in a third world country, ya bleeding heart liberal, ya.
Smooch,

This story scared the merde out of me (Reply to this comment)

Amazing... particularly Meat Pie's repeated assaults on everything sensible about being a savvy visitor to Mexico. But I have to admit, your request for a Kodak moment was priceless. I love true stories.

Jesus H!
Thanks for the info. Chileīs finest are legit. Offer them a bribe and you go straight to jail, hopefully in one piece.
Itīs a different story in the surrounding counties. Argentina, Peru and Bolivia are just like Mexico. Iīve heard many stories.
You did a hell of a job walking on eggshells. Itīs the clearest descrition Iīve seen on how to handle the bribe. I imagine I will have to put it to use, eventually.
Oh yeah, it was fun to read as well.
