You are quite correct Fireballs... I see you are quite a veteran indeed.
I had this same discussion at another forum, and there I was boasting that Monterrey cops DO NOt, and I am not kidding, hassel Americans visiting the clubs (we have no Zona here), nor they ask for bribes.
I had guy from Houston, Tx I know, that drives his car to Monterrey.
He tells me "of course they do"
He was stopped around 6 am by Transit Authority on his way to leave his Monterrey club girl and he accepted he was way into more than just 2 beers... he had to bribe the cop so himself and his car were not impounded.
Well, I told him... do you drink and drive in the USA???
I don't, so if am stoped here I just tell the cop to go away, no bribes no nothing.
But it is true: both Mexicans and Americans are the first to offer a bribe.
Even here for us Mexicans, there are those that prefer to bribe the cop 300 pesos over a fine that will be no more than 250.
