Something not right?
Description
We got pulled over by the Police at this point. They wanted to see my driving license, I gave it to them and the they told me, if I want it back, I have to pay 100usd.
Just for your Info, in Nicaragua when you get a real Ticket from the Police, they give it to you and you have to go to a bank and pay it there.
You never ever have to pay directly to the officer.
Just a few kilometers in direction to Leon, we got pulled over again.
Both Times we were lucky and could come out of this situations without paying.
However, we made copies of the driving license and laminated them in Leon. Just to be prepared for the next time.

Latest Check-Ins
No police checkpoint or cops when we passed. We were driving to Managua at 1:30pm.
Report Check-InThey stopped us and tried to make an infraction, as we speak spanish we argued that he wasn’t right. He left us leave.
Nos paro prepotentemente un policia que apareció de la nada. Nos pidió los papeles y el registro cosa que no se lo dimos, antes le preguntamos que habíamos hecho mal.
Nos dijo “aventajamiento en curva” lo más divertido fue que no había curva entonces ahí le dijimos que nos estaba chamuyando.
Se enojó un poco, nos insulto por ser argentinxs y nos dejó ir.
Report Check-Inhappened to us a little up noth and in town, too ONLY HAND OUT COPIES OF DOCUMENTS!
both for crossing a conzinued linr where it did not exist.
one i told i would be ceirtain and we could go look where i passed, and he did not let me go until i told him hey, i passed with 3 other guys one stopped to but you send him driving, so we were finally ot the hook.
the other one told me something and said lets go to a bank 100usd and i just said in spanish i do not understand wich rule i broke and that i will not pay, he should take me to a police station and someone in english tell me what i did wrong and again i was off the hook, but man that was about ridiculous amounts of money and plain anoying. only pulling out foreign cars -.-
Got stopped. Something about driving in the left of the two lanes. Tried to encourage us to bribe him to deal with it. When we asked for the ticket to go to the bank to pay he finally let us go and gave back all docs.
Report Check-InSimilar things happen all the time. One other trick is to stop you and give a ticket for passing another car while having a solid line. We did not pass another car, because there weren't any around. Didn't get a ticket after quite some discussions. Be aware.
