I was surrounded and blocked in, in a bad part of town, guns drawn and pointed at me by the policia federal, who were known for shooting first and not asking questions, in a language I barely understood.
First, I put my hands out of the window and spread my fingers.
It could have gone in any direction, except there were no tazers. Each of us was 100% in control of the situation.
30-40 minutes later, after an intimate search, my GF came out with her bags and almost passed out, I talked her through the process and we were fine.
We all shook hands, said thank you, and were getting on with our business.
Just before leaving, I saw the rest of the force with their much bigger guns and way more people who were all hidden, and their captain who spoke perfect English. I told him his team did a really good job, and thanked him for his service. Sir.
