I cover my dash cam at border crossings and checkpoints.

Usually have it on going through towns, only.

At CC and Tecate, I verbalize the stops for the cam (think Tecate has 19 stops) and am fully prepared to review the video with a cop.




US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

In 2002 at a military stop, I had a digital camera sitting on the passenger seat. (They were new then.) They asked about it and I was going to demonstrate it by taking a picture.

They immediately stopped me. They were polite and explained that you may not take pictures of military sites.

About four years ago I asked if I could take a picture of that giant statue (an eagle?) at the state line for Baja Sur and was told "No" by one of the guards.

My guess is that it is possible to get in trouble.


The eagle was built in late 1973 to commerate the new highway. It was to be the center of a future agricultural city and below it was a museum where artifacts from all around Baja were displayed. The military came in many years later an made a base, planted trees that block the 140 ft. eagle from the traffic and who knows where the artifacts, including an ammonite from Mama Espinoza went?
I pulled over to photo it last Sept as a soldier watched and one can take photos of the front of it from the Pemex or just north.

I crossed northbound at san ysidro a few days ago and asked the agent about dashcams.
He said that you could not film ON federal property. He said big trouble if agent wanted to pursue.
