Except for the price tag not much has changed in 48 years. Business as usual.

Not sure about that. As the article says, the cops are pulling out their guns, stealing victims' cell phones, and telling folks to go the ATM to get
the money, up to $500.
Armed robbery.

48 years ago there were no cell phones or atms. They just hauled your azz down to the station and took everything of value from your rig and pockets.
Same same only different. These cops are probably their grand kids .

They probably want the phones to make sure there is no picture or recording of the shakedown!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

You may find it funny. Of course, you are an a$$hat who doesn’t give a chit.
Most people think that when the police start robbing the citizens or tourists, then your community, state, country is truly a chithole. It is very
sad to think that parts of Baja are overrun by state-authorized criminal gangs that wear uniforms and call themselves police.
If citizens allow their own state to be overrun by state-authorized criminal gangs, then Rosarito is flocked, and Baja is flocked.
Mexico really has a problem when tourists leave Mexico with a bad taste in their mouth because the cops are robbing the tourists at gun point.
Woke!

Isn't it grand how goats make light of what is going on in our major cities like Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, New York, Minnesota, when 'orange
man' calls them out as quizzically similar in one way ...
Yet when one town in Baja has a (actually historical) problem then it is 'all be damned' ..."Most people think that when the police start robbing the
citizens or tourists, then your community, state, country is truly a chithole"
And to those who think my remarks turn a thread political... I'm just pointing out that it is actually goats that turn things political 'community,
state, country' when it fits their agenda.

Historically, if you surfed/camped K38 or 55 in the 70's... you probably lost a board, wetsuit, or car stereo to the cops. And if you were holding a
little of the demon weed, you lost your girlfriend for an hour or so in your tent.
Nothing really changes, just your awareness.

We got rousted by cops when camping on the bluffs above K55 back in 1976. No women in our group, but one of my friends was brought to tears. Lost
some money, weed, and they threatened to take my VW van. After a few tense minutes, they took off, and shortly after, we bee lined it for the
border.

Not sure what your point is.
I support the protests against out-of-control racist USA cops. Institutionalized racism needs to be stamped out.
Mexico and USA need same thing: fire all the cops, hire all new.

Since the comments have shifted to the USA as distinct from Mexico I will make a comment.
Cops in the USA are trained to follow the stats, evidence, and personal observations and gut-instinct when pursuing law breakers. If all that points
to certain groups of people then it is those groups that the Police concentrate on. It is called "good policing", not "institutional racism"..
To ask for sweeping changes in how Cops traditionally work in the USA is narrow-minded, over-reacting, and counter-productive. To remove rouge-Cops
is very appropriate, and the way is has been done for decades, in my experience (as a career City Cop/Fed. Cop, now retired).
Mexico is another Country-------when in Mexico think & act like a Mexican and avoid getting in trouble. Worked for me in travels in Baja and
Sonora for some 60+ years.
