I was driving the wrong way on a one way street just north and west of Adelita's about 8 AM. I was not drunk just trying to find my amiga's apartment. AS soon as I realized I was going the wrong way (took me about 40 yards) to notice I immediately made a U turn and turned around. However, a police car with two officers saw me and turned the red lights on me. At first they told me they would have to take me to the police station and I was set to go, but then they just gave me a ticket and told me I could mail it in. When I checked the dollar value it was not stated. Because of this I went to the police station and paid $37. It turns out that the new larger fines are not what is printed on the tickets, so the police station had to figure out the fine. The officers that pulled me over were okay and treated me fairly. They must have commented about six times that the area I was in was a drug selling haven with lots of ratteros. They kept asking me what was I doing in this area, but I told them I was just out trying to get the Sunday paper. When they left they just told me not to visit this area.
