Police checkpoint | Warning

April 20th, 2024 by fashionableclub87

Exact same happened to us today. We drove by without lights on (stupid), had to pull over and show our drivers license and papers of the rental. He pointed out the lights and told us we would get a fine (I believe he said 45$). Had to pay in cash but we told him we didnt have cash. He said we had to go to Juyjuy to pay at the police station there. We played dumb and kept saying we did not speak Spanish and did not understand him. In the end he let us go. Many other cars passed without lights on so it seems like he only picks out tourists.

We went there in the middle of the afternoon and we had no problems there (we are two bikers).

Same today. Told us we have no light and have to pay a fine. But we had lights on. Told us these are the wrong ones. Had some discussion but at the end he let us go without a fine…

Corrupt Police checkpoint. Checking for drinking and driving. Got pulled over for no lights during the day. Told us we’d have to go to Jujuy to pay a ticket or we could pay her. Because it’s impossible to get pesos in this country, we ended up having to pay US$40 to get our drivers license back.
