Got pulled over by the Italian Police, They checked everything Options

[DonTraver]

Left Torino and headed for Genova. About a hour into the drive I get pulled over by the Italian Police. They wanted all the paperwork for me and the RS America. Passport, drivers licience, insurance, California Pink Slip, registration, shipping documents, you name it. Luckily I had it all and it was all valid.

I was going about 10kph under the speed limit following a couple of other cars.

They spent about 45 minutes going through it all, calls on their cell phones, etc. Finally let me go. When they were done, they just gave me all my paperwork, turned around and left. I think they were disappointed.

I don't trust cops. I grew up in a family of cops, I know how crooked they can be. My dad called it the John Wayne Syndrome. Give them a badge and a gun and they think they're John Wayne. Looks like it's the same over here.

Oh yeah, just found this out, before you can use the internet in Italy, you have to register your passport numbers. I'd been wondering why I had to turn in my passport at each hotel. This is the only country that I've had to do that in.

Oh well, I'm having fun in Genova now.

Later, Don

ROFLMAO, thanks Elliot, I know I can always expect good advice from you. Would you like to come over and show me how it’s done?

As far as the 4 years in jail that was running through my mind.

The plan is to work my way south down the west coast then turn around and head up the east coast and on over to Monaco and Spain.

So far Italy is the only country I’ve been questioned in. When I crossed the border into Italy from Switzerland I was questioned at the border check. It’s the only country that has had an active border check too.

Oh well, it’s all part of the adventure.
