In a rejuvenated effort to attract more anglers to Baja California Norte, Mexico's Secretariat of Tourism has appointed new directors in charge of handling complaints by Americans about disorderly conduct by Americans and Mexicans alike.

The newly appointed directors have been working with vigor on the current rash of armed robberies occurring on Baja Norte's Highway 1, and have motivated federal officials to capture three individuals they've found with incriminating evidence.

Additionally, they are concerned about the illegal ignition of fireworks along the beaches of Baja and encourage the reporting of these incidents to their version of 911, which is 066. Officers are now armed with new ordinances to arrest people involved in these explosions that disturb the peace and litter the beaches.

The new directors would also like to receive reports of any complaints about their police officers.

Sr. Arturo Martinez Esquer is the newly appointed "deputy director of visitor assistance" in Tijuana located at Via de la Juventud No. 8800-2523, Centro Comercial Viva Tijuana. He can be reached at 011 52 (664) 973-0424 and 973-0430, or amartineze@baja.gob.mx.

For the Ensenada area, Sr. Hector Guillermo Rosas Rodea is located at Centro de Gobierno, Blvd. Lazaro Card##as No. 1477, Ensenada, B.C., C.P. 22880. He can be reached at 011 52 (646) 172-3022 or hrosas@baja.gob.mx.

Both directors have reiterated their well-promoted theme of "Don't do in Mexico, what you wouldn't do at home."

So...if they find me with, say, drugs, or guns, or heaven forbid fireworks...they'll let me go, then try and capture me later? Is it, like, a game? How much head start do we get? :lol:

Let's hope when they next see the Hwy 1 shooters, they're shooting off fireworks on the beach.
