The average “mordida” for a trumped up traffic violation is anywhere from $60 to $80, or sometimes even more, depending on how impressive your vehicle!  However, once the corrupt police officer sees your S.O.S. window decal, he will think twice about pulling you over.  These police officers know what Sindicatura is and that your support means trouble.  It’s much easier and prosperous for them to seek out another victim who is unaware of Sindicatura.  They are aware that S.O.S. membership fees are pledged to help Sindicatura in their fight against corruption and stop the harassment of tourists.  However, if you are legitimately guilty of any violation/infraction, Sindicatura is also there to assist in any way possible.
