Something not right?

Description

We were also driving through Los Mochis bumper to bumper traffic at dusk, cop pulled us over said we were speeding, declared no way and he insisted we give him cash! We stood our ground and he started getting frustrated kicking our running board. After approximately 30 minutes of him escalating he said shut off your dome light and give me $20.

Latest Check-Ins

Drove 60km/h down this whole road. All the locals drive really slow as well, so seems that the police presence is constant. About halfway down to topolobampo there was a police car on the side of the road, presumably they were checking for speed.

Report Check-In

Lots of police cars, but we were not stopped 😀 We drove about 50 km/h...

Report Check-In

Controlled at 81 km/h versus 60 km/h.
They took my driver’s license and my car license and proposed to go to Los Mochis to pay the ticket and give back my papers.
I proposed to pay now.

The ticket was 1850$, after a little negociation it was 1500$.

No corrupted for me, just a fact, i was to speedy 😫

Contrôlé à 81km/h au lieu de 60. Ils m’ont proposé d’aller payer l’amende à Los Mochis a la gendarmerie afin de récupérer mes papiers.
J’ai demandé à payer sur place pour récupérer mes papiers immédiatement.

Après une petite négociation ils sont passé de 1850$ à 1500$.

Pour moi ce n’était pas de la corruption, mon infraction était réelle j’allais trop vite.

Report Check-In

Tried to charge us because we were "speeding" (allowed is 60kph). We insisted we weren't and that we know the here is a speed limit and controls. After checking our papers they let us leave.

luckely nobody was there today, but be careful.

Report Check-In

Police on a motorcycle stopped us and said we’re speeding. We knew what he was looking for, he said 1500 pesos and we gave him 200 pesos & 20 dollars.
From what I read, 20 dollars will be enough.
After that, he gave us a code in case the police stop us again… the code was 832 I guess, but still, don’t know what is that for.
