Been travelling, living, working and driving on and off in Mexico for more than 55 YEARS never paid a bribe, so let me translate for you what you see or hear:
Guys with machine guns or AK 47's that ask for money in any form
= NARCOS
Guys with M16's or AK 47's, = "Police or Military", not all are honest it all depends.
Guys in grey uniforms with M 16's = Marines, yes Mexican Marines!
The "Mexican Marines" have my utmost respect since they are the only ones that have not sold themselves to the dark force.
Yes there is corruption in Mexico as there is in any country, there is corruption in the United States as well from some Government individuals, the only difference is that the Police forces in the US are paid decent salaries, some of the US politicians on the other hand are bigger crooks than the crooks them selves.
We need to look in our own house for termites before we get all scandalized about the neighbors house having termites.
