Overview
- The live segment by reporter Kariana Colmenero on Periférico Norte at Avenida Primero de Mayo captured an officer allegedly seeking 5,200 pesos from a driver with foreign plates to avoid towing.
- The motorist said his documentation and a special permit to circulate were in order, contradicting the stated reason for the stop.
- Once he realized he was on camera, the officer walked off and then fled, and other agents left on motorcycles without completing the procedure.
- The recording prevented any payment and the driver continued on his way, while the footage spread widely on social platforms.
- State of Mexico authorities said the case was turned over to the relevant units and no sanctions have been announced, as businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego publicly praised the reporter and criticized local security authorities.
