Spent my college years’73-‘77 in Tucson and many weekends and vacations in Mexico during that time. From my first trip we learned that men’s magazines and Marlboros and $5 bills. could easily replace insufficient ID needed to enter the country. Running non-existent stop signs, speeding or other manufactured infractions were always handled successfully, as you described, with a pleasant attitude and a bargained for solution. In the towns they would confiscate ones drivers license until the “fine” was paid with a few dollars and a pack of Marlboros.
