For the Transito scam, another guy I watch who's lived in Ajijic for aboutr 19 years says the same thing. 1. They usuually go after obvious or suspected tourists. If they find out you're a local, they will let you go because you might know somebody and could get them busted. 2. Say you want the ticket, or want to go down to the station (whatever the case may be). The scammer cop will always let you go, because pushing the issue further could get HIM busted for asking for illegal bribes.

Yes it’s better to take the ticket than to encourage corruption. Even if they targeted you.

The traffic bribe situation is getting worse in the Bucerias area. Of course, you have to be driving to be scammed like this. I have been stopped twice! When asked for the bribe, I said "I prefer not to" and they let me go. As you point out in the video, you can also respond, "Give me the ticket". It's true if you are a resident or have a MX driver's license, they seem to let you go more often than not. I'm sorry to say, maybe it's best not to drive in Nayarit, unless you're prepared to get pulled over for a bribe. Although, the more of us who speak up, perhaps something will get done about it.

Thanks for the info on scams. My wife and I live in Playa Del Carmen and are aware of some scams but your video opened my eyes to some new ones. Don't forget about the scams at the restaurants, make sure to take pictures of the price of the items you order and check your receipt. This scam happens more times than not. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT.

🏆 Academy Nominee for best Actress!!! Well done! Thx Paul for your very informative PSA! It’s unfortunate that the ones who are to keep people safe are also the ones who think it’s OK to scam and steal… I only hope this changes “Culturally” from the top AND bottom… imagine if the city of Bucerias had an Advertising campaign warning ⚠️ against such “public servants”? It could turn the tide the other way, no?

A gal at the airport on Thursday who told me she was pulled over the day before she had to leave and the officer told her to pay like $10,000 pesos and if she didn't he would take her DL and she would have to pick up next day and not sure what time. She said her plane leaves next day for Chicago and was worried about missing it so she paid him. She was in Bucerias.

What a shame. Im not sure what the best move is when you have to leave the country the next day. Maybe paying the bribe is the best option. But I wouldn’t pay $10,000! Maximum $500 pesos.

Driving down to Puerto Vallarta last time…got hit up for the old mordida in Los Mochis! Transito spoke no English but used Google Translate to get his intentions across 😂

The getting sprayed scam happened to us one Saturday morning last October. We were walking past the empty lot across from Hotel Suites Nadia, just north of Ozzie's, when we were sprayed with Frank's Red Hot. We declined the woman's offer to clean us and kept walking.

Good for you guys to reject her offer. I’m sorry you were sprayed with hot sauce. Maybe we should all carry little bottles of Tabasco to spray back at these scammers.

I've been all over Mexico and Central America...even during wars (El Salvador and Nicaragua). However recently I've heard stories....not about mordidas (bribes) but American women being targeted for kidnapping. Especially in the South...Guadalajara to the border w Guatemala. The Embassy has put out their usual stuff on Jalisco-Michoacan border as being problematic. How safe are older gringas in Mexico now? יוי

Where did you have a bad experience?

I was walking to the Chedarui with a backpack on. The police stopped and me and searched my pockets because they were looking for someone with marijuana who fit my description (gringo with a blue T shirt). They searched my pockets and backpack and found nothing, I was waiting for them to ask for a bribe, but they didn't and let me go. Still not sure of what to make of this.

From my experience, even if you do speak some Spanish, it is better not to speak Spanish with the police (or immigration upon arrival). There will be less conversation to be had since they don't speak your language and they will move on sooner rather than later. To the corrupted police, say in English you want the ticket and will pay at the office. Even better turn on your camera as soon as you are stopped and make sure the policeman can see you have a camera on. In addition only roll down your window just enough and not all the way down. If the situation does not end quickly, call the police and get other officers involved.
