He still thinks there are laws.
Favorite so far was the guy who was detained for 12 hours - was a citizen - and had no way to show or prove it because they had taken his wallet on the arrest.
Eventually someone checked the wallet he had and was like “oh shit, guess we won’t be deporting him then”. But they had lined up transport and locations by that point. And were deciding how to manage his possessions.
Dude could have just been in El Salvador for no reason like WTF mate?
Except he wasn’t. Because they followed the law.
