The police in Argentina are a somewhat frightening. They have played a bad role in your country's history at times. A couple of years my wife and I rented a car in Mendoza. I made an illegal left turn without knowing it and was pulled over by a big group of policemen (lots of people seemed to be making the same improper turn and the police were stopping all of them). My wife was terrified - she thought she might never see me again. I speak a little Spanish but I kept telling them, "Lo siento, senor, pero no entiendo. Hablo un poquito Espanol, un poquito." After a while, they sent me on my way. Maybe they decided that I wasn't worth the trouble, that I didn't understand Spanish well enough to, shall we say, offer them something for their trouble.

The portal picture is small and I tried to figure out what it represented and all that came to mind in a row of urinals.
Obviously this is totally unlike my thought. They don't look like urinals at all.
It is a nice shot in black and white.

Yes Bob, you´re right. Argentinian police is among the most corrupted in the world. Better far than near!
