Reynosa Mexico Alert 2 Guys Money Robbed By Police

[James B]

I drove over to Reynosa and got pulled over by the cops and was extorted for a fine ($40.00) that went right in the cops pocket. No paperwork, no documentation. If you think Mexican cops won't rob you well...you better think again. They are worse than the regular crooks over there.

You don't have to be doing anything illegal to get robbed by the cops in Mexico. I've been robbed twice by them, and wasn't doing anything illegal.

I find this a little hard to believe unless the guys were doing something illegal. I've been stopped on that very same road, searched, and let go because (duh ...) I don't deal in drugs or weapons.

I did have a Municipal Cop try to get $100 for a speeding fine a few weeks ago but I cussed him out so loudly that his friends just started laughing and changed the subject to motorcycling rather quickly. The usual fine for speeding is maybe $20US.

So with this story there is an element of either bullshit, or someone had to pay the Stupid Gringo Tax for something that they did.

60 bucks? That's cheap. The suckers should have paid 20 bucks each and kept their panties straight.

Give me a break.
