...but this "cop", even though he lost, still wouldn't let us go - he obviously really needed those 35 dollars. He didn't know what to say and kept repeating that I had to pay a fine, and I kept asking him to write me a receipt. This went on for some time. In the end, I decided to lie to him, saying that I didn't have any money, just to get it over with.
I have a wallet, but I hardly ever use it - I usually put my money in different pockets, in case I have to haggle and pretend that I don't have any more, or just to not lose it all at once, ha-ha-ha. So I took out my wallet, opened it and poured out a few pesos in change. Then I theatrically turned out my pockets and found a few more coins - less than a dollar in total)) And I said: "This is all I have, take it if you want." But this idiot saw a local bank card and told me to withdraw money... that's impudence.
Okay, I said I'd go, although of course I wasn't going to come back, haha. Then this "cop" told me to leave the bike - yeah, of course I would have done that. By that point I was too tired to smile, and the whole thing was wearing me out. I took out my phone, called our company lawyer, quickly explained the situation and handed the phone to this extortionist.
The conversation was short - this bastard was furious and shouted something in Spanish that I no longer understood. In the end, I said that I could call the lawyer again and say that I was being detained - besides, I had a GoPro camera on my helmet and everything was being filmed (in fact, nothing was being filmed - the battery died in the mountains))). But the argument worked. He swore, made a few gestures showing that he was watching me, and showed that next time he would put handcuffs on me - it was so funny that I couldn't stop laughing.
But the real "killing blow" was delivered by my friend, who had been silent the entire time and only occasionally asked what was going on. Just before leaving - the policeman had already moved about ten meters away - my friend called over the "translator" - a taxi driver on a motorcycle - and gave him 10 dollars for his help right in front of the policeman. If this were a rap battle, this would be the moment when the microphone is thrown on the floor, ha-ha-ha. 0 reply
