If it happened in a province called "Entre Ríos", then this is not surprising at all for me. I'm Brazilian and used to travel a lot in Argentina by car. I visited 11 provinces and had problems with the road police in only one of them: Entre Ríos. It was always the same story: they invented some problem with the car, or some (supposedly) missing item, and then asked for cash in order to liberate you. Shame on them!

Sim, infelizmente, essa região tem muito disso, mas antigamente era bem pior e diminuiu um pouco de uns tempos para cá devido a reclamação das câmaras de comércio de algumas cidades do Rio Grande do Sul. Só para ter uma ideia, meu irmão que é caminhoneiro em Uruguaiana, trabalhava em uma empresa que já fazia o “acordo” mensal antecipado com esses policiais corruptos para evitar tantas paradas (e atrasos) nas viagens de entrega para a Argentina.

Shame is not respect the trafic laws on a country

In Brazil there is a law on headlights being turned on but they would never get a fine and tourists would warn them and they would never give a fine like that.

Good morning Snow and Curt, looking forward to seeing you soon in Brasil again! Enjoy your journey around the world as much as you can!

Corruption leaves such a bad taste in the mouth. South Africa has a high incidence of it. You must have been so happy to reach your final destination and off that road! Your apartment looks really lovely. The kitties are going to love their space outside. Take care of yourselves and see you in the next one. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Speaking of stikkers. You will definitely need «Angles Morts» stikkers before entering France. All vehicles above 3,5 tonns must have them. European registered vehicles longer than 6 meters also must have orange lights and reflectors on the sights. I don’t know if out of continent vehicles also need them.

Here in Brazil, we hear many cases of friends who were approached in this way by the police in this region. It generally does not happen in other regions of Argentina. We often see cases of travelers who prefer to detour through Uruguay to avoid these problems!

Good morning Snow and Curt 🔆 What a perfect space for G and Vanna. I love how you told Vanna "we don't eat birds" 😂 I tell my pup the same thing whenever he's barking at the birds and/or squirrels. I hope the rest of your stay in Argentina goes smoothly and you're able to find a good place to fix the windshield. Good luck with all your last minute errands, and we'll see you on Wednesday. Stay safe, 🤗🇨🇦

Just a thought regarding fines. Have you applied for clean air zone stickers for travelling in places like France? They have a thing called Critair when driving on some French roads. It cost about €5 euro for our car, and will save you getting a big fine. They last a year. Germany and Belgium have them for cities. And Spain has them for motorways near cities.

My husband was harrassd in Illinois the other night. We stopped in a gas station for the rest stop. When he pulled out late at night passed a closed Wally’s station policeman was hidden in there he followed us to outside of town & pulled us over told my husband he was speeding in a school zone 11 miles over the speed limit. 9:00pm. We know he was not speeding but he said he had us on radar. We did not argue took the ticket where polite. He knows we were not speeding because we just pulled out of Casey’s next door to closed Wally’s. It was 10/31/2023 . It is bad economy small town they need the revenue quota for the month. No point in arguing. They always have upper hand. Long story short $202.00 ticket. In order to get class & court supervision so it does not go on record and cause your car insurance to go up.

Looking forward to it as always. 😊❤

The first time I went to Argentina, I went by bus. It was ridiculous how the police approached us. Since Paso De Los Libres till almost Buenos Aires, we had to pay each time they stopped us. One policeman even asked for a Coke. As neighbors, we know that Argentina’s situation has been in a downfall since the early 2000s, but this police situation is ridiculous.

I have enjoyed your travels in Central and South America immensely. I lived in Panama for four years and to see it through your videos brought me great joy! I never had any desire to see South America but now after watching your videos I am amazed at what a huge and beautiful continent it is. I hope your trip to Europe is an easy one. You can be sure I will be watching your videos just as faithfully as I have been. I live in Florida now and my travel partner has passed away. I will be hitchhiking with you in Europe.

HI! Congratulations on getting this far in your journey. I have a suggestion for the kitties and their new lodging - put some of your comfortable clothes in there - preferably unwashed, smelling of you both. Is Vanna a daddy's girl? Put a dirty, soft undershirt, T shirt, socks...you get the idea. Switch it out over the next 6 weeks so it won't get too rank. They will be comforted by your smell in your soft clothes. I'm loving Argentina. I was there briefly in the 70s. I'm sorry you had to miss Uruguay - but maybe a day trip over to Montevideo? Have fun!!!

That was stressful to watch! Hoping things move more smoothly as you prepare to leave So America.

This reflective tape shit also happens a lot in Rio Grande do Sul state Brazil, except they are not expecting you to pay a bribe. They are REALLY giving you a fine
