As we were heading to our hotel in the capital of Sonora, Hermosillo flashing blue and red lights lit up behind us and tailed our trailer. There was no where to pull over so Brad kept driving until the nearest turn off or gas station. Thankfully a busy gas station was just up ahead. As soon as Brad saw Municipal Police he said “Fuck! how much money do you have?” I didn’t have a lot left after our whole permit issue and my nerves where already short wired. The two officers proceeded to tell Brad that he ran a red light, I out loud by mistake said “Bullshit!” Brad turned looked at me and I got the hard shhhhhhh. He told Brad we would have to go down to the station and we both know this old gag so Brad asked “how much is this going to cost?” the officer took his pretty time eyed up our vehicle and trailer looked at his partner than said “800 pesos” this is roughly $80US. My blood was boiling especially after he told us this he left his partner with us and went in to the gas station to get something to eat and drink. I slipped into Brad’s wallet 200 pesos and a few american ones, when the officer came back out Brad should him how much he had and said “can we make a deal?” The officer looked at his partner took the money and said “thank you, be safe!” .... Great, ‘be safe’ whats that suppose to imply?
