Did the first breath test early last week. Only one car ahead of me at Club O intersection so had to wait a short bit for my "turn". Officer asked a few questions, did not ask for any papers, quick test and on the way.
Talked to a friend who lives here part of the time and apparently the "policy" of "pay the fine and go" had to do with cars being stolen when the driver (and passengers??) being taken to the station in Marigot. More paperwork for the gendarmes. I was told 100 euro fine.
We were "requested" to file a report at the Marigot station (hard to find) a couple weeks ago for a break-in we had. Does take awhile and they have to provide an interpreter.
I did get the small satisfaction of seeing 3 gendarmemobiles picking the perp up and hauling him off the next morning. As far as I know cooling his heels in Guadeloupe.
