| This is indeed a very scary situation, and it's really too bad that the way it was handled when brought up on RS was for some of the more hot-headed 'veterans' to blast people for paying the fines. I can certainly understand how in the heat of the moment, and esp. if there are language issues, the only thing one would want to do is get out of the thing as quickly and easily as possible. For $40, you got off luckily. I had a similar thing nearly happen to me, but in the zona--managed to talk my way out of it by pretending to be completely clueless about the charge of soliciting (I had just come out of a hotel with a SG and got swept up in a general corral of a bunch of guys just outside the hotel) and by bowing respectfully to the officer about a hundred times, but this was undoubtedly mostly lucky. About the only useful advice on this is probably just to keep your eyes peeled when you solicit girls on the street in the zona, and at all times on Revolucion when you are going to hotels with girls, for cops on the make for 'donations.'
