Guys,
A friend of mine lives in Medellin and today while walking home from the gym, she was approached by two police officers and asked for papers, specifically her passport.
She is a white American lady, and she said the way they did it was improper and out of line.
She refused to give them anything, and went into a local restaurant and stayed there for over an hour, and the police left.
My question is: do the police in Santiago bother tourists for papers?
While in the restaurant, my friend was told by other expats this is a common situation in Medellin, and is not out of the norm.
How is Santiago in this regard?
