Policia Vial

While in Zihuatenejo, I rented a scooter.
First issue with the Policia Vial was they claimed I ran a red light, no helmet, alcohol use.
I did pull over, they asked me for my license. My first mistake.
Then they threatened to jail me but I could get out of the tickets and avoid the jail.
Much more to this story but none the less 3,000.00 pesos lighter.
Next one, I was returning the scooter and was in a group of about 6 scooters.
Out of nowhere, the Policia Vial flagged me over.
2nd mistake, gave them my license.
And here we go, full blown accusations of what they thought I did. This time, only 2,000 pesos.
All the transaction were in back lanes out of sight.
The people at the resort said this was a very common thing.
They told me to never give them my driver's license and if I think I'm being hassled, call for the Policia Militero.
