There are more and more RVers who are venturing deeper into Mexico. It is an incredible country to visit and it
is well worth the little bit of extra trouble to find appropriate insurance, special maps and to learn at least a little
Spanish. In most cases you will find that people are friendly and very willing to go out of their way to be helpful;
this includes the police.

Unfortunately, one frequently reported difficulty while traveling in Mexico is negative encounters with police,
particularly in the towns around Mexico City, where payment for supposed traffic infractions is demanded. All
kinds of threats are made to impound your vehicle but they are not real threats. Our advice, and that of a
well-connected police official who contacted us after reading about an incident on this website and with whom
we have become friends, is to not pay the bribes, ask for a supervisor to come to the scene and report those
officers. In partnership with our friend we have created a form for you to submit to him and he will follow up on
rooting out the corrupt cops nationwide.

Please fill out the form below and then press the Submit Form button and it will get where it needs to go. If you
want to carry a copy of this form to share with other travelers or fill out on the spot and then later fill out this
online form, press here for a Word document.

The more information you can provide on this form the better chance there is that they will be identified and
fired.
