Bad US Police Experience
Crunch, feeling bad and feeling responsible are two different things. You're not responsible, so don't beat yourself up over it. Things like this happen all the time--more than we can imagine. The Law and law is not a perfect entity--it evolves. As far Argentina and they way do things...if it's anything like my Mexican friends tell me, she got off pretty easy--guilty or no. I have heard tales of extortion and threats of imprisonment for crossing a female cop outside Mexico City. One such incident the cop saw my buddy had Michigan plates (tags) and she decided he and his family were going to travel any further until he paid her $200. He told her had only $60. She wouldn't accept it. He told if she didn't he would shoot her in front of his family. Long story short, she took it and he escaped. According to him if it were a male cop, and he was with his buddies, and not his family, they would kidnapped the cop and shot him. That is their way of life.
And we have ours.

Bad US Police Experience
I realize I'm in the majority on this one, but I have known many collegues who boasted how they "beat the system" but fighting tickets they know they full well deserved--like multiple drunk driving offenses, speeding, reckless driving, failure to yield/to stop. These scofflaws make law enforcing harder and frustrating for the lawmen because they nab the bad guys (IMHO you're a bda guy if you don't obey the law--end of story) and the judges let them off (however around here, the reduced fines don't get reported on your license, BUT a big percetange of the revenue i.e. "court costs" goes toward the judges' retirement account). The scofflaws don't learn from the being let off, rather they think it is rather funny and continue to do it with even more vengeance---like changing lanes without signalling AND/OR cutting someone off (me) in the process. Even the cops are doing it with impunity around here. My (old school, albeit niaevte approach to life )point is if you obey the Law you don;t have to worry about being stopped by one. And yes, counter to contemporary society views, I'm the type that still beleives you get permission BEFORE you get forgiveness.
