Sadly, some places still try to use several kinds of coercion to force people to pay this price, from verbal abuse to physical threat, so if a visitor finds itself in this position it is recommended to pay the fine and get a fiscal document, audio and video recording, and whatever documents possible stating the amount and nature of the fee, as well as evidence of coercion so a lawyer can help the victim exact justice.

If physical violence was applied, witnessed or suffered it is recommended to look for the police - tourist police, if applicable- and fill a B. o., Boletim de Ocorrência.
