A lot do but will not admit it unless it is to their advantage.
I lived next door to a Spanish Police Officer for five years and drank with him most nights.
He would never admit that he could speak English.
One night an English yob tried to steal my car and this officer arrested him.
I was most taken aback when the officer read him the riot act in English.
Never, never underestimate the law in whatever country.
Taxi drivers in Accy are not above the law and if there is corruptiion it should be jumped on and quickly.
