Exactly!!
Apart from earning a few dollars, they don't want wtfent clogging up the court system and stuff him in a jailcell and feed him - they got better shit to sort out.
Gotta say, any encounters I've had with the law in Latin America have been excellent - cops are treated more as friends and they are friendly and without the bullshit.
I fucked one of their cars up once - reversed into it and it was my fault. We went off to a body parts store, collected new parts and then on to a respray shop and all was sorted (cheap!!) in a few hours and they were on the road again.
Another time we were stuck in shit roads - these guys got their sleeves rolled up and tried to pull the car out of shit. When that failed, they then drove us all home (miles away!) as a matter of courtesy.
I'd love to see a US cop get his uniform off and get into a mud swamp to help folks!
