My sketchiest border crossing was from Colombia into Ecuador on foot. We got out of the taxi to get in the customs line. Once it was our turn, we got to the window and the official found an “issue” with my passport. He told me to come meet him around back. I was freaking out. He simply stated, I could go back to the closest town (3 hours away) and pay for this issue at a proper bank…or for the “convenient fee” of double, could give him the cash then and there and be on my way.
It wasn’t the first time I’d been shaken down by the Colombian Policia while I lived there….but it freaked me out for sure.
But also, I’m not sure its the worst system either. I’d got myself into a bit of trouble before while in Colombia that would have resulted in jail time, fines, and lawyers fees here in the states. There…some pocket money to the cop who busted me and I was free to go.
Granted, this is nothing like the systemic issues of racism that impacted Mo’s boy trying to legitimately come into the states.

Best to you and your son, Mo.

@Mizmazzle You called that bully in the uniform, as you are powerless.

@ARNC My only advice is - Don't be sarcastic to the border guard if you have a car picking you up that charges for the wait.
