on the paris metro
I had a ticket for zones 1 and 2, but got off at the outer most one (7, perhaps). Totally got away with it, I am a rebel.

On the Paris buses, I just waved my rucksack at the beeper and got on, no travel card in there at all

Got proper fucked on the Budapest underground.
They have machines that validate tickets and they rarely work. It's a classic "pick on tourist and fuck them" scam but, the police have guns, so meh, what you gonna do?

Proper fucked?

well, of course not
but "disproportionally fined a vast amount whilst having a submachine gun casually pointed at me what with obviously being a westerner and this being 15 years ago" doesn't really have the same ring to it.

Romanian "law" enforcement
will routinely pull over hire cars for any available reason and extort a bribe off you.

Romania couldn't be more bent if it changed its name to Nakedapia.

It's fucking shocking that they're still one foot in the Middle Ages.
I don't understand it, Monty. I really don't.
