I've seen similar things all over poorer regions of Central and South America as well. My take on this: I'm paying a portion of the salary of the immigration official, police officer, etc. For better or worse, that's often how they feed their families.
- el-salvador 6y agoDoing the "right thing" is also hard. Paying a fine instead of a bribe could mean waiting 10 days for your license to be returned. Our traffic laws are also very inconsistent here so it's very easy to make mistakes abroad: Like Honduras requires two traffic triangles, but others only one. Nicaragua prohibits changing lanes in roundabouts, but it is allowed elsewhere. El Salvador enforces speed where there are no speed limit signs while Guatemala enforces them where there are many signs. And so on.
