Dear Sir,
With reference to the story in last week’s Reporter regarding the woman who was stopped in Chapala for not wearing her seat belt. The facts seem quite clear: she broke the law, she got caught and she was rude and arrogant. To the woman I can say only, “If you insist on behaving like a complete idiot, please do not broadcast your Canadian origins. I am not you; I don’t even want to know you. You know that if you pulled the same stunt in Canada, you would quite possibly end up in jail.” To Señor Magaña, on behalf of Canadians everywhere, I apologize and commend your restraint in not giving her what she so richly deserved.
Peter Howarth,
