Police Presence

8 years ago

As someone who spends a lot of time in his vehicle moving around, it concerns me greatly what the police presence is currently like in Ecuador....Are there checkpoints everywhere? Are they arbitrarily breathalizing people all the time like here in Panama? (More so during the Martinelli Administration) For those of us who like to tip a few before heading home, do live in dread fear of what maybe out there waiting on the hwys? Or even at random points around the city? Does anybody who drives in Ecuador feel like it is becomingmore and more of a police state?
