RE: Steemian @Churdtzu Detained in Mexico by Immigration.
Yes, you are right I made the same mistake overstaying my Visa once and I paid for it. I just can't believe they took him to Mexico City. That seems a little rough.
If he had had enough Dienero on him, maybe a diff story. Travel with cash. In costa rica it depends which cops catch you with your papers like that, If its the Gao your fucked, if its the traffic police its like 5$ haha If he was on the wrong side of a higher police force, those guys look for baby faced white boys breaking their laws hahah
A guy in the centre told me he attempted to bribe the officials $200. Didn't matter... I'm sure a lot of people in Mexico are in a similar boat thinking they can bribe or talk their way out of it, but these immigration officers seem to be different for some reason.
Same here in Costa Rica, the more they get paid, like the GAO here, you cant afford those bribes, they usually have more training, weather its military or governmental, they are trained to enforce the laws with less likely to be bale to be bought out.... any normal day cop easy, but the higher the ranking the more difficult to buy the pride
