La Paz, BCS-The municipal police officers mulegina Jaime de Jesus Cota Cota, Carlos Castro Castro, Alfredo Ramirez and Francisco López Santillán, already admitted to the CERESO of this city, after they were taken yesterday on a private flight from Tijuana, where they were first brought after being captured by members of the intelligence groups of the Mexican Army for their alleged collaboration with organized crime.

Michael is correct. He has his finger on the real pulse of our town of Mulege.

In the municipality of Mulege, our police are friendly, cooperative and have a hands off policy with the gringo residents and tourists, unless they commit a traffic violation. No mordidas! They are uniformed and you see them on street corners directing traffic. They often receive their paychecks late, as the Municipality is broke. I have seen the Chief out painting the red curbs himself.

They are a separate entity from the Judiciales (across from the Pemex downtown). The Judiciales are supposed to investigate crimes. They have a shady reputation and are really no help at all.

There have been other reports (erroneous) on a certain blog site showing a video of "drunk" Mulege cops. The street scenes and background scenery (sandy beach area) were obviously NOT filmed in Mulege. Mulege is also a large county which includes Santa Rosalia, and extends outward to the Pacific towns.

Guys. This is about "collaboration with organized crime. " not about being friendly with gringo tourists. If it came between you and a cartel member.... sorry my bets are not on you

Always keep in mind: "Plata o Plomo". Sicarios are blunt when dealing with preventivas or transitos. Some have been killed in mainland Mexico for simply quitting the force after being threatened.

I've got to grumble: Sicarios show beheadings and torture on facebook. It damn near makes me want to show convicted terrorists burned alive at the stake for hurting innocents.

Mexico is learning a bitter lesson --- about not paying cops but a pittance for centuries and then putting up with a little mordida. You ought to hear the tough-guy hitmen squeal like piglets if they are extradited to the US for trial and sentencing to a US federal prison; The guards really (and I mean r-e-a-l-l-y) hassle them, frog march them to meals, body cavity searches, and stuff you don't want to know about. I am hoping the USA builds a twenty thousand prisoner capacity prison somewhere in the southwest USA and then shows Mexico how to break these bastards.

Charles Manson though he was a tough prick until he spent several months up at Pelican Bay. He reportedly broke down to sobbing tears and cried to the guards that he would be a good-boy if they would just transfer him out, back to cocoran. The Pelican Bay guards have broken the toughest Mexican gang members. I wish they could process a few thousand Mexican terrorists that prey on the innocent down here.

I'd rather they just shoot them, why waste taxpayer money on scumbags.

Better yet, public hangings would probably make them think twice about joining a cartel, or put them in those head/hand wooden shackles from the middle ages and place them on display before hanging/beheading them publicly.

I have to agree with Toneart and mulegemichael Have never hear of any mordida or harassment from the local policemen and ploicewomen of Mulege. But what do I know, have only lived here 8 months(continuously) of the year for the last 5 years. This town is supported by tourism and have no reason to harass the people that provide their livelihood. If you find trouble down here it's because you came looking for it...
Politeness is a two way street

Sorry, but your take is not shared by anyone who lives , or has ever lived in Mulege , unless you are Palmeto99.

It does apply to some border towns and much of the mainland of Mexico.

I am keeping my eyes open and my ears to the ground in our area for signs of danger from Cartel violence but it is simply not here. There was a small plane hijacking here three years ago. That was a probable trafficking act but never substantiated. The plane was never found and nobody was hurt. Believe me, I am aware of the dangers in other areas and am appalled at the savagery of the violence.

They can hideout in La Paz neighborhoods for a time, but not for long. They cannot hide out in our Baja Sur mountains like they can in The Sierra Madres.

Even in those places, gringos who have nothing to do with drugs or do not have family members who may be involved, are not targeted. I feel safe.

By the way, Mexico has always built walls around houses. That is a marvelous architectural style, and walls also happen to help deter burglaries. FYI, I do not have a wall around my house, or around my neighborhood.

Nope! Just kicked back and enjoying the sunshine, watching the animals and doing a little turkey hunting. It's 53 degrees, the sun is shining and life is very, very good.

BajaBlanca - 4-23-2011 at 03:59 PM

speaking about municipalities or districts - we (La Bocana) are located pretty far from Mulege but we are in the same jurisdiction as well ...

805gregg - 4-23-2011 at 04:41 PM

Corrupt cops? That's the only reason they become cops, my friend lives on the pacific side and bribes the local cops, with gas money to leave him alone and they pick up his trash.

So, the municipal police in Mulege do not belong to the same municipal police organization in Santa Rosalia? They arent the same municipality?
