American shakedown: Police won't charge you, but they'll grab your money
I think it is Alberta where vehicle "fines" are actually in the budget and are pushed up every year..
Now if the monies collected when to charity you see a drop in these BS calls..
I carry very little money with me and depend on my cards..but if we are pounding the streets of the US, I am going to make sure all our i are dotted and Ts crossed.
We have been to many different countries and our motto is "don't do anything to piss off the local cops".
We once watched 4 drunks kids in a rented jeep hit a bus in Mexico...what came to our minds was that this was going to be a very expensive accident for their parents..
