Summary

[edit]
Description
English: I risked the possibility of a long jail sentence just to bring you this shot!

When I was in the Navy I was told something that has stuck with me in all my years of travel (except for that one time in France when I almost got shot). We were in Hong Kong and our division chief had us gathered up for a little talk before we hit the beach and from that talk I took the following part: "Remember guys, this is NOT the United States, our laws mean nothing here. It's their country and you need to play by their rules". Oh, how right he was.

Mexico is a funny place, what's OK in some parts of the country will get you arrested in other parts. Most of the tourist places we've been the cops were pretty friendly and didn't mind you catching a shot or two of them, sometimes they'll even pose for you. A couple of spots though the cops were pretty adamant that photography of them and their vehicles was not something they appreciated and they certainly let me know about their feelings!

We were in Puerto Vallarta, walking down the Malecon when I saw this. Since the cops were no where to be seen I took a chance and took the shot!

This one is for Alex's Time Flying By, I know you\'re a fan of the coppers!
