Definitely a bit biased towards those with cash.

While I don't dispute your experience, that seems really disproportionate.... $1,200 bucks versus nearly 9 years? Who thought that up?
I wonder if they set fine amounts at levels they think people will be able to pay and use the excessive jail time as incentive to fork over the $$.....
I don't necessarily agree with a lot of Mexico's ways either. Bribing cops as standard everyday practice, crazy jail sentences, etc.... they need plenty of changes too.
