Two minor details. No Three .

Florida was sitting shotgun and had his window rolled down. This is probably not common in that area. I know that is something LE in the states look for at night.
They figure people that have the windows rolled down at night are more likely to be "smoking" or..... Or I am over thinking the situation.

Two. When the officer asked me for my license and passport he was reading my passport wrong, probably on purpose. My entrance stamp was for the beginning of March and permission for 90 days. He told me it was for 30 days . I responded by forcing my car keys in his hand and demanding him to impound the vehicle and take me to the police station. I really was "with an attitude" at this point. Normally I am more relaxed and they realize they are wasting their time. I figured he was looking for some cash and I wasn't playing.

3. I am so proud of my Spanish that I have gathered that I was talking to him in espanol. This is always a mistake , at customs in Colombia, and with the local police. Always before I have apoligized and said, " I'm sorry my Spanish is bad." I believe they prey more on people they can communicate with.

A good rule of thumb: Unless you are already in deep shit: Never, Never speak español with law enforcement. Play the dumb Greengo.
