1. Learn Spanish. If your language skills are insufficient, be ready to play a long (but somewhat fun) game of ‘show and guess’.
2. Have patience. The workflow following your explanation is helplessly ineffective. Writing report on computer. Slowly. Finding USB stick. Moving document to printer. Printing. Getting signatures and fingerprints on 4 copies. Writing statement again on an old typewriter with duplication paper. Slowly.
3. Do not take photos. Trying to keep the situation by taking undercover pictures with you mobile phone is not appreciated.
4. Bring family pictures. When the situation gets tense, distract the officers by showing them pictures of your father in a Danish police uniform. Everyone in the office will be called to look.
5. After some hours you have the statement: ROBO: Manifesto´el denunciante que personas dozcono cidas, portando arma du fuego, y bajo amenaza de muerte lo dezpojaron de una camera fotoqrafica, marca Canon, modelo power shot, G9.
Good luck with your Venezuelan police experience 🙂
Hej Peter
Sidder på KFUM-Spejdernes landsmøde – her kører debat på 6 . kvarter om ny spejdersang… Tænk hvis det slap ud at det er det vi diskuterer heftigst, når vi er samlet……! Well, tak for fantastisk indlæg, der gav pinligt højlydt grin her i hallen på nybrog strand (- mens en eller anden gammel mand med overskæg stod på talerstolen og fortalte om hvordan det risler ned af rykken på ham hver uge, når han synger “den gamle spejdersang” (get a life! (or a wife…!)))
Nej Nej Nej…. det fine kamera! Godt trick med familie/politibillederne…!
