Aaron I hear - Mexican officials can be bitches sometimes.
When I was pledging my fraternity we all went down to Mexico - we got detained in a Mexican jail in Boisetown - and after lots of bullshit they made us each pay $20, confiscated 1 throw away camera (but didn't even bother to search my backpack, which jad a polaroid camera in it), then let us go.
Fuck those bitches. But it sounds like I got off easy compared to you - sorry bro
