Well, where I come from, thankfully, if I am all in order ( as in paperwork, etc....) police have no cause to detain/hassle me.
I have never, never ever seen an european police man ( or customs, drug, etc....) get into someones car and and then drive off with them.....w.t f ?
Depending on what agency they are from, they can search my car, search my person, check my ID, etc...... but at the end of the day they will send me on my way without getting into my car.
I had an AMET stop me for tinted windscreen in santiago. The guy just wanted a tip, and i wasnt in the mood to oblige.
But he is doing me a favour, if he takes me to AMET HQ it will take hours and paperwork...blabblablba.
I told him fine lets go to AMET.
So he tries to open the backdoor to my car.....lol.
I am like w.t.f ? I aint no taxi, take your own bloody vehicule.....
He says he doesnt have 1.
Not my problem. Meet us there, take a cab or walk under the rain, its up to you.
........... and he sent us on our way.
actually, malko, he could have told you to get out of the car, and you find your way to AMET. then you get your car back when the matter had been adjudicated, and you present a receipt for the paid fine. that is a bear on Sundays....
