There are so many dumb things you can do in Jamaica and still be lucky enough to not get busted. You were lucky!
The police are going to stop you if they see a white person looking like fresh meat coming out of the country parts with a route cab or even worse a white plate.
The out riders won't help.
Linston's Zion Hill Taxi

Booger....the only other color is green for commercial
I got stopped coming out of my driveway in Spring Garden two weeks ago. There just happened to be a police car going by as we came out from Zion Hill. They stopped us a questioned Linston in Patios about where we were coming from and who was I.
Of course I understood what he was saying and before Linston said anything I explained that I was the property owner for 40 years and had documents with me to prove it (copy of my title, my old work permit and residency visa and my TRN). He apologized for the stop and explained that if they happen to see a "tourist" up in the hills in a car coming out from the bush they will stop and investigate.
Don't say it can't happen.
BTW Gerry....I told you this story the day it happened over drinks at Seastar

Gotcha. All my trips have been charter taxi, usually in a bus on the way back from a road trip. I have never seen a roadblock, however I'm sure they pop up. I am with Gerry as I have always been waved thru, never stopped at any road block. I also have 1/10,000 of the time in Jamaica that you do, so I'm going to shut up about now.
