Damn they must be really scandlous there. I think someone should do a reality TV show on this, I think that would be great. Its so funny the bull crap these guys have told me and they think they are being smooth or something, I always know its complete bull crap but I go along with it because I do not want to go to a Mexican Jail.

Timeline: (I will make the long stories short)

2000 - Got caught peeing in a TJ parking lot they said I was going to jail for the week unless I paid the ticket on the spot, they said the ticket was $60 but I only had $20 so I told him that and he says "thats ok" takes the money and lets me go.

2000 - In Cancun my friend got caught peeing in the bushes and ran away leaving us behind and the cops pretty much did the same as above.

2001 - A friend and I got in a fight at a club, we were in the back of the policia car and the polica told our friends that they could bail us out for $100 or else it might be $500 at the jail.

2001 - I got arrested for passing out flyers in front of a club and they let me go after taking all my money in my wallet.

2001 - Got caught drinking and driving in Rosarito and was scared shitless so remembering my past experinces with the policia I played dumb and said I can pay for the ticket with cash right now so i dont have to go to Jail right, thats what I did last time. I have $30 I said. He spoke a little english and said, thats not the way it works here I'm not trying to steal your money, you think Im a criminal? He then went back to his car while I was shitting bricks, he then came back and said ok I talked with blah blah and they said you can pay the ticket now. I gave him my $30, he said thanks and was even kind enough to ask If I had enough gas money to get back home, lol.


2004 - I got stopped at customs which is normal but I forgot that I had 300 Almost Illegal DVDs in my trunk that I was supposed to ship earlier that day so they tried to impound my car and arrest me etc.... I tried the ticket thing but that was not working and just pissed them off at first. I was trying to be really cool and not some dick american when one of the cops laughed at a funny shirt I was wearing at the time and with his horrible english said that is a really funny shirt where did you get that? Do they sell them in Mexico??? I said NO but that he could have mine if he let me go, he talked with his cop buddies, laughed and then let me go into Mexico but of course they took all my DVDs excpet for 20 which is all I can legally cross over the border without having to report them.
