Disclaimer:

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is reckless, antisocial, and extremely dangerous, under no circumstances is it acceptable or reasonable to drive in such a state. The following text is representative of an illegal stop, I was completely sober.

“How’s everything officer” I respond to the uniformed man with a torch pointed at my eyes.

“Well, its Thursday, so it’s calm, we’re a security checkpoint, do you live in this area?” the cop asks.

“No, I do not” I respond. To which the officer asks me to open up my trunk.

“We suspect you’re driving drunk sir, did you drink tonight?” the officer asks.

“No, I had a beer during lunch” I answer.

“Do you know the administrative practice for this?” The officer asks

“you’d apply a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer test” I answer

“Yeah, but do you know what happens if you fail?” He responds, sassily.

“No, I do not, because I don’t drive drunk” I answer

“You go to jail, to the Torito with all the drunks” He says

“Well then give me a breathalyzer test and lets see what happens” I answer

“We don’t have one” The officer says.

“Let me call my lawyer” I say, in a strong tone, letting the officer know I am not folding for a bribe.

“what?!?” the officer responds.

“Yeah, I just want to make sure I don’t say something stupid” I respond

“we can make the test now, we can call a unit over” the officer says

“No, I’d rather wait for the lawyer” I respond, sternly.

*I call a family member and make conversation*

Suddenly, a BMW 440i storms past the checkpoint doing around 100km/h in the small street.

“What the fuck Juarez?” shouts Jimenez to Juarez, who is 20m ahead stopping people. Juarez shrugs and Jimenez sighs

“Are you really calling your lawyer?” the officer asks.

“He’s on his way” I respond.

“Okay, show me your breath” the officer says.

*I blow air at the officer*

“Tell him to go back to bed, you can go with a warning young man”

“Have an easy night officer, goodbye”

An alcohol checkpoint with no breathalysers.

Sounds like a group of chancers.

On the next episode of Mexico City cops: high speed chase on a 2001 Tsuru and a Charger with a broken water pump.

Nice technique. Do you think if the dude hadn’t blown by he’d have waited to see if your lawyer showed up, or go looking for a more pliable suspect in a few minutes?

Who knows, I don’t think they actually caught the BMW, it’s a shame because that person was very dangerous, they could’ve killed someone going that fast.

I’ve only been pulled over twice since I began driving, this was the second time and it played out exactly the same, they took my documents, threw vague threats at me, and after a few minutes of stalling they let me go “with a warning”. All these people wanted was a bribe and I was certainly not going to give them one.

I realize I deleted the paragraph in which I answer your question: I overplayed my hand but the cop had so many things going on around him that he didn’t notice the bluff, my family friend was en route and was ready to make sure it was a bad day for the cop. When I told my friend that they let me go he said “Good, I know you were sober, but if ever get caught drunk I swear to god I’d help them take you to the Torito”

I’ve heard about bribe stops in Latin America, but I didn’t know whether it’s something you have to be prepared for or something that gets repeated a lot more than it actually happens.

“Good, I know you were sober, but if ever get caught drunk I swear to god I’d help them take you to the Torito”

Sounds like my kind of guy.

I have nothing but vial disdain and loathing for selfish drunk drivers (or anyone under the influence of anything that would impair them).

Just the other day a British guy committed suicide (Wednesday night, Thursday morning) in Corfu, Greece. He lost two sons Casper (2) and Corey (6) due to some idiot who was high on cocaine. He was present at the driver’s sentencing late last month.

I have never been threatened by cops to the point that I’d throw money at the problem to get out of it, but then again I’ve been lucky and I am in the least shitty city of Mexico in terms of bribery.

I think the only reason I half respect the police here anymore is because they have mostly gotten their shit together when it comes to reckless drivers and drunk drivers, but we’re still a long way off, after all, I was stopped by people without an alcohol meter, and they let slip an asshole in a BMW.

A year or so ago, coincidentally in a white BMW too, a drunk driver crashed a 650i into an electricity post @180km/h and killed four people in the process, he left the scene walking and fucking fell asleep in the DAs office as they read the charges. He was sentenced to nine years in prison.

I don’t even want to know how the metro here looks after 9pm on a weekend.

maybe they make a nightclub out of it....

Ye’, nine years is what the cocaine driver got for taking the lives of two children.

I’d happily knee cap the driver before the police arrived.

I mean, it’s not only nine years to be fair; its a lifetime of psychological suffering, this man saw his closest friends killed due to negligence on his side, family friendships forever destroyed, bonds of trust forever broken. This man will pay, in one way or another, for that moment of negligence for the rest of his life.

It’s mostly a shame that people can end up screwing up so much, it’s also disturbing given that on a normal weekend there are two or three alcoholimetros between the collision point and the bar they were in reportedly.

It would be nice to think these people have a conscience but I severely doubt it.

Even then it’s nothing compared to what they’ve done.

I can’t bring myself to expecting the worst of people, but shamefully it tends to be the case sometimes
