They used to stop us Gringos at every opportunity to get a payoff. One time I just refused to pay off a traffic cop and he looked really puzzled as he stated the cost of paying the ticket---I just repeated--give me the multa--- it was about $400 for having tinted windows---what a scam---I gave it to my lawyer and never heard from them again--my lawyer has the same car and the same factory tint ( Mercedes) Finally some Gringos in Grecia got together and had OIJ set a trap and caught the crooked cops who were taking Gringo&#039;s license plates for parking here or there---but the cops who were arrested were back out there giving tickets soon after being arrested.  So sad to live in CR--God Bless USA where the law sticks and is fair and just-and much better than CR in every way.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The cops did a more heinous act in my view.
