I and my car are perfectly legal. Just getting stopped and having to show the paperwork and getting asked for money is a big enough pain in the ass. Come December, it doesn't matter how legal you are.
in your 'hood AMET asks for money??
well guys,
time for you to step up and get your pueblocito in order.
here a AMET would not dare to ask for money, specially not from a Gringo,
as they know the high risk to get their foto taken on instance and be submitted with a nice report to Bavaro Digital Online, which would result in time behind bars for the one in AMET uniform.
Bavaro Digital is our local online News, many readers/members post and submit fotos to there Live while spotting something "fishy" in the 'hood.
welcome to the 3rd Millenium, it really works.
AMET here means, in the worst case scenario,
that you get stopped, greeted with a nice buenos dias se?or, me permiten sus documentos por favor"
you hand over the lil stash with DL, Cedula, copy of Matricula and car insurance card, he takes a short look, he already checked before if you have the appropriate sticker in the window,
and after 30 seconds you are on your way.
who complaints about such procedures, should simply not be allowed to participate in public traffic.
and remember,
this month starts the sales for the new Placa Stickers,
the timeline to get them will tactically expire shortly before christmas,
so get 'em on time,
'cause near towards christmas there will be many hungry ticket writers out there stopping every car without it.
to start a suitable online News Page, you only need to start a FB page together with a bunch of friends/known persons.
they report there what ever happens in the 'hood.
thats the start.
after a while you will even start a printed version laying out everywhere in the region, for Free for the readers, financed by some AD's from local businesses. sure you run it as a own online webpage then.
so many Expats up there north, should be a piece of cake to get such running.
Mike
