Damn.... busted again last night/early this morning. !!
Left the DR about midnight after playing Tute with Don Gordo & his brother... Ave 1 to Calle 5, north on C5 and as passing Parque Morazan a motorcycle cop pulls along side and motions for me to stop.. look in mirror and note white police car with lights flashing behind me...
Motorcycle cop asks for license then passport... two others from patrol car walk up, one on each side... shine light in car thru windows... one askes me in English...How much alcohol you have tonight..?? Nada.. you have any drugs, armas..?? No.. Motor cop has been looking at my license and passport and finds the " Report a Cop" card I keep with the visa attached to my passport copy.. shows to one of the other cops and hey examine the card... #3 cop asks me to open the rear door of my SUV so they can have a look see... other two come back to rear of car and show #3 the card.... he stoppes what he is doing and reads the card...
asks me where I got the card and tell him "My abagado gave it to me..'
#3 has a conversation with the other 2 and they leave, moto cop back to cycle in front of my car and #2 to the white car behind...
#3, in English, hands me back my license, passport copy, visa and Cop card and say to me ..in English... Mr ( uses my first name off license) you may leave".. I say Gracias... get back into car, put my license back in wallet and passport copy in carrier... cops have gone.. I drive to Ave 7 to make a right hand turn and guess who I find...
Yep... all three of my friends now have a White SUV pulled over on Ave 7
and giving "the Dialog" to the older Gringo driving the SUV...
sure hope he wasn't drinking!!
This is great... last two times I stay out after 11:30 PM get the Gringo treatment... I'm NOT going to push my luck... Since tonight with Gordos's & ciaociao's parties and tomorrows Pirate Club party will be late nights, I think I'll leave the car home and cab it back to San Pedro...
To those who have a few and drive at night... BE CAREFUL OUT THERE !!
Peace
