Yer kiddin'

The only think that would be news is if they could find a Mexican Policeman that hasn't taken bribes.

I think ALL of the Mex Police are corrupt. I believe the Federal-es took the weapons away from the local police. So the local police probably, with the cooperation of their drug buddies, set the deal up so it could be taped.... I don't think the Federal-es had an undercover police officer with his hand out who snitched to the local PD. JMO

giving the police a handful of cash including at least one $100 bill.

Damn, some fool driving the cost of bribes up.

BTW, Cozumel was full of Federales last week walking around looking important.

Mexican police investigated for bribery

Do bees buzz? Is the sky blue?

On Monday, the Tijuana police department announced it had issued some officers slingshots and ball bearings to defend themselves.

I wonder if there's a practice range where they can become proficient in slingshot.

La Mordida - literally, "the bite." Its as old as Mexican culture and very difficult to eradicate. Corruption is a necessary lubricant to an inefficient governmental system. It does not work as well without it and it makes crooks of even honest people because the reality in Mexico is, without payments under the table, nothing gets done.
