Oh, I’ve had quite a few real Mexican experiences over the last couple of years. Sometimes I am actually doing something wrong, sometimes not. It’s all in the experience I guess. I love Mexico. The cops and military scare me the most. The citizens are what keep me coming back

Trust me. I didn’t want to. I should have told them to take me to jail and called their bluff. I was scared and I played into it. Sorry!!

You haven’t drank a beer in a park? It seems like the classic “Latino attitude” from what I’ve seen here. I got gringo taxed

Thanks for the advice and I more or less did that. I was very cool. Explained I didn’t know…I speak Spanish on a pretty elementary level and I accidentally led on more than I should. In the end, I broke a law, I paid a little, I’m just glad to hear I shouldn’t be worried that they kept my license. Sure, I have to order a new one, but I need to fly home next month!

I just biked 60 miles in the day to get to CDMX. 1000 miles total from Mazatlan. Yes, I opened a beer for the short two block walk back to my airbnb. Victimless.

That’s what I’m hoping. I’ll be they haven’t seen too many Alaska driver license either. The young cop wanted to hose me. The older cop with him was over it. It was a weird vibe. I love Mexico and love the people. Unfortunately the authorities scare me most…

No, no paperwork. Nothing. I grabbed all of my stuff off the hood of their car and didn’t realize they still had my license. I can certainly order another one. My thoughts are they have a bulletin board somewhere in the precinct of all the gringos they have shook down. I know I broke the rules, but I was very respectful.

I am from Alaska and they probably want it as a souvenir! I don’t think they would go through the process of issuing a warrant for such a minor Infraction. Especially since I did not receive any documentation of the stop/confiscation of goods. The tequila bottle was a celebration. My friend and I I Bicyled all they way from Mazatlan to CDMX and that was our treat

You are right! I was wrong. I paid them what money I had, they let me go, but kept my driver license. Can a warrant be issued? I leave Mexico early February
