was in san jose may 28th to june 4th. 2009, i was with 3 friends one nite and the police gave us a very hard time, asking us if we had drugs or used drugs, told them no, searched us, took our money and told us to leave . i met other americans and some told me the same thing happened to them. were older retired guys and myself and my friends are non drinkers. we were in san jose to have a nice vacation . we come to san jose as tourists, we spend money that helps the people of costa rica, we don't come to costa rica to get get robbed of our money by the police. im going to post this information on as many tourist websites as i can find . good luck if you go to costa rica.
