Boosting tourism by busting violence

OCEANUS - 10-7-2009 at 09:11 PM

Here's a link to a CNN posting about the new efforts by Baja officials to snub out those "safety threats' to U.S. tourists.

Hopefully, effort like these will help Baja to turn the page and get back on its way to normal.

Who will police the TJ police? That is who i've had trouble with when I "run the gauntlet" I hate the TJ police.

And, although they love your wallet, they hate you in return. You stole their land and don't you forget it.
When you have time, give it back to 'em. They need it for growing dope.

I'm developing a healthy respect for TJ cops. Gotta be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world outside of the military. I see them all the time driving around and directing traffic, sitting ducks but they do it and I'm glad they do.

I've been living in TJ for three years and haven't had to pay any bribes. I've been stopped a couple of times for speeding on the road leaving playas, which I was, and both times they let me go with a warning.

That's amazing. Really??? You haven't had to pay?
I guess the world is reborn. You didn't have to pay.
Is everybody's world as yours? Did all the Mordida crap come to a halt?
Ohhhhh Pleeeeese....tell me it's all over and the world is without crime and your experience can be applied to the expectations of everybody in Playas, or on the road in and out.
The place is a shooting gallery. You're just the Bear that goes from left to right that they missed.

Eventually, your life will change, as mine did when they blew out a wndow in my car as I was driving it.
Gets your attention....It really does.

Have fun in your secure environment. :cool:
