A cop in Chicago tried that on me years ago when I made an illegal left turn. I was way too green to get his meaning when he talked in circles about the cost of giving up a driver's license for processing. Had to follow him all the way to the station house, where he finally let me go without a fine, but with a head shake of disgust.Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464543671077860561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726301007480663156.post-26815476804426843772012-07-09T12:19:08.734-04:002012-07-09T12:19:08.734-04:00This was wonderfully hilarious!

Your words really painted a great visual. <br /><br />I had a memorable ticketing event happen several years ago while in Tennessee (where women are supposed to be quiet and look pretty, and not be behind the wheel, apparently—LOL).

My wife, who is Hispanic and speaks Spanish, adamantly refuses to go to Mexico (she's from Ecuador). We do like to eat at Mexican restaurants in the US though.<br /><br />No, I have never tried to bribe a police officer, but I have argued my way out of tickets before with US officers. I don't think they wanted things to go to court and they knew I was right.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726301007480663156.post-54984135404792487222012-07-09T11:44:31.578-04:002012-07-09T11:44:31.578-04:00OMG, you're making me so nervous about going b...OMG, you're making me so nervous about going back to Mexico!Lydia Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484415427764822386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726301007480663156.post-50066319799254966002012-07-09T10:49:36.319-04:002012-07-09T10:49:36.319-04:00What they don't ask to see your 'papers...What they don't ask to see your 'papers', they do here.
