Why would he stop for police?


It's the middle of the night in the middle of Mexican wastelands not a soul for miles we are shown. What was he thinking stopping for a single cop when he wasn't doing anything wrong

reply

No way I would. That's for certain. And if he had a tail light out or whatever he can get to the bosses house and then pay him off or explain his entire family will die if he doesn't bugger off.

reply

exactly! hell i doubt even legit police are out there doing patrols and making stops for tickets. he knew what was going to happen and still lets it happen it obviously was needed to get him into the boss houses but still thought it was very weak

reply

I suppose if he didn't stop he could have made the cop ram him off the road.

Let's just let it slide based on a concern for cinematic efficiency.

reply

yeah, it seemed pretty stupid but on the other hand he thought he is untouchable, the policeman could work for them and could have information for him, maybe there was danger on the road and his mobile was not safe
