Many years ago I spent nine months in Medellin Colombia as an exchange student. I loved the place, the people, the whole experience.
I did have only one run in with the policia at a midnight roadblock driving home from a club — apparently carrying rolling papers made me a very suspicious character.
Now and then I google up some images or videos of Medellin, and last night this video stopped me in my tracks! Its made by a guy who flies his little drone cam around for some great views of the gigantic sprawling mega-city.
He is on his bicycle when a street cop stops him for something like a stop & frisk, I guess. The gringo filming started to put his camera away when the cop reaches over to it and re-directs it back to himself, stating “No worries you can film me”
Colombia decriminalized marijuana some time ago. I miss the place
