I have yet to experience Brazil, but it's near the top of my list even though your story gave me the creeps.

My rule of thumb for dealing with cops in other countries is that if they're in public with a bunch of people around, they're generally ok if you stay out of their way and off their radar. At night with no one else around? No thanks, I'm heading in the other direction.
