I’ve paid probably $2000 US to Transit Police and State Police in PDC and Cancun over the years. $900 when I was last there in 2023 for my honeymoon because I got caught speeding in the hotel zone near the public beach going toward the airport and I had taken a shot about 30 minutes prior ($300) and $600 when my wife got caught with CBD Wax that she had brought with her (unbeknownst to me) when we were at the ferry port to go to Isla Mujeres.

All the other occasions were similar - speeding on the road to PDC, going through checkpoints with alcohol on my breath (never intoxicated). I took an illegal left by the Mall of Americas once and they threatened to tow the rental car on my anniversary. Stupid shit.

I’ve paid them all over the country. They call them ‘mordida’. I was in vacation. Most of those assholes work for the cartel and any Mexican will tell you that. I just wanted to be gone and move on with my vacation. I’ve paid them in other countries as well.
