The last time I was in Mexico ( 2 years ago ) I was with my cousin in my beat up VW bus driving down a very long straight highway when we came to a traffic stop. Well the cops made us get out of the van while they searched it for no apparent reason. They tell us everything seems fine and to be on our way. Well, I had been to Mexico as a gringo before and I was wise.( the time before, I watched from a restaurant while a cop stole my license plate then wanted $20 to give it back ) We look around the van and sure enough, we find a quarter ounce of some brown shit weed underneath a back seat. Well, before we get to the next roadblock ( no turn-offs on this road ) we smoke the whole thing. At the next cop-stop they make us get out of the van while they search for what their buddies down the road had planted on us. Just before they open the glovebox my cousin shouts " If you're looking for that crappy dirt weed; we smoked all of it!"
We went to jail and were released 2 hours later after paying $100 a piece plus $60 to get my car back PLUS $20 to buy back my god damn license plate.
I love Mexico but the cops are fucking criminals.
