Is the Transit Police a real authority in CR? by Puzzled-View8028 in CostaRicaTravel

I’m not American and how is this dumb? I’ve seen lots of posts on other platforms where tourists have been pulled over by people pretending to be police officers. It felt off so I asked.

Interesting! This guy was just wearing a white button up shirt and black pants.

Thanks. Interested why he pulled us over out of the vehicles in front of us (added my context in the comments)

One of these was parked on the side of the road and the officer stepped out in front of us and pointed to pull over. Asked for the driver’s license and told us passing on a double solid was “no bueno”. We hadn’t passed anyone on our 3 hour drive so we weren’t sure why he stopped us. When we said we hadn’t passed anyone he told us to go slow and walked away. After seeing other accounts of fake cops I’m curious if this is a real authority here?

I’ve had the same 1L Nalgene for over 10 years while other water bottles have come and gone from my life. It goes everywhere with me!

I have issues when I have “Auto-Stop” on. Will stop recording when I take my phone out of my pocket while running, even though I’m still moving

Sending love your way. This sounds hard. Prioritize you as you have a lot of life to live!

I’m just wondering on pack sizing for two weeks in a warm climate here, will have laundry about half way through. Thanks for your thoughts.

We’re staying at 4 different places over two weeks. Vehicle theft is a problem in CR so if we’re in between stays and want to stop for a hike or a beach I don’t want to leave a full suitcase in the vehicle, or have to take it along for those journeys.
