Luciana, I remember those periodic traffic check points when I lived in Piracicaba, State of Sao Paulo. They normally would set them up near the middle and then the end of the month when the workers would get paid (twice monthly). They would stop people to see if they could get some type of bribe out of them, because many people seemed to always have some type of documentation problem especially in the interior of the State outside of the big cities. I was stopped several times until they started to remember the Americano in the orange Fusca!
