Definitely not the case in Mexico..

Lived in Tijuana 5 years and I was WAY more afraid of the police than the cartel or any local gangs.

Don’t be fucking ridiculous lol. In the US they don’t even accept a bribe. In Mexico they purposefully squeeze you out of money, and that’s the start.

I wish the police accepted bribes here to look the other way so I can keep shit off my driving record.
