Man when you go to TJ ALWAYS keep some extra cash hidden on you for just what you went thru. They realized you werent hip and had no other cash and so they let you go. Had they taken you in, someone of a higher authority not involved in the con going on by the three would have fried their asses. They are trying hard to crack down on the cop corruption in TJ. The dirty cops are using the elevated security status to fuck you. Be advised you were lucky.
Lucky, well all they had on me is the fear factor so to say which was seposed to scare me when they said i'm going to jail..lol, but they can not take me to jail impossible, it's like getting arrested in USA for a bottle of aspirin..lol, so that's why i called their bluff and never offered them money fuck that, what's the worst thing that could happen.....believe me nothing is worse than russian jail even mexican, but there is no way i was going to jail so fuck those little cocaroches.....
ps always keep an extra 100-200$ in my shoe, and i did that time too...
akathegame Bro,
Sorry to hear of your trouble though you did get to keep the gear. All the talk of vet items being legal and such is fine for board conversation and as far as I know correct, but it is missing the point, a point being from Russia you probably understand. In a country governed and policed by a system racked by corruption, legal and illegal is often determined by the individual "civil servant" LOL you are dealing with. You got balls to stay as cool as you did, but I must say, and I mean no offense bro, you stayed cool out of ignorance. You were aware of your rights and the legality if what you were doing, but this only gave you a false sense of security. The reality is legal had nothing to do with the outcome of yur encounter. You happened to have dealt with a low level, non-violent (atleast in this situation) bastard out to make some cash. I'm just saying that a situation is never under control, no matter how legal your actions are or are not, when you are dealing with officers in a completely corrupt system of governance. Mexico is the fucking wild west bros. The place is a jungle and I think we need to watch each others backs. Ivan bro, I'm glad all turned out well and commernd you on your set of brass ones. I just don't want other guys thinking they can tough guy ther way through old Mex cuz they "know their rights." Out.
Bro, you sound like an educated person, and russian judicial system is a lot worse than mexican as far as corroption and dirty cops go, so i knew what i was into, those two cops just got done wipping the breast milk of their ungly faces....but as you said false sense of security because i know the law, ok what's the worst thing that could happen to me down there with those guys(what do you think), they can not take me to jail because their superior officer will rip them a new asshole if he finds out what they did sinse they are cracking down on mexican police corroption and it's the american government that's putting the pressure on MX government from what i hear.....what is yor scoop on this, i'm not flaming just looking for answers from educated people with experience, i've only been doing this for 3 years i guess that's enough experience but someone always knows more than you, that's one thing i learned in life is to listed
Or i'm from Siberia originally and only lived in the country for 8 years, siberia the lucky place where all worst criminals from the whole russia went.......the prisons were right next to my city, and one inside believe it or not.......lol
