Automatically translated from Spanish
A derogatory backronym (Association of Expert Cocksuckers at Work) for traffic officers who wear green uniforms and use confusing hand signals. They carry spit-covered whistles and wooden batons, specializing in fining motoconchos (motorcycle taxis) for not wearing helmets, shared taxis for seatbelt violations, or anyone talking nonsense on their phone. They especially target those with tinted windows, like the trendy kids who visit cabañas (short-stay love motels) and claim they are allergic to the sun. (AMET is the common name for the traffic police in the Dominican Republic).
