Paraiba police question.
I know of two American couples who were passing along the BR101 in recent months and were stopped by (they think) state police who demanded money. I presume there are many more I am unaware of
The first were fluent Spanish speakers with some Portuguese who paid R$100, and the second were basically English speakers from whom R$6000 was demanded, but managed to get away with R$200.
I am not talking about 'buying lunch' for a speeding ticket here - is this just a Paraiba thing, or has anyone else experienced this elsewhere, or indeed in Paraiba in recent months?
