Rosarito Commercial Policeman keeps a slave around the house...

This commercial policeman got busted for luring and enslaving a child of 14 from Veracruz to be his personal housekeeper. All police are underpaid, everywhere- imho. But how much more do they need to be paid to have a live-in maid? I'm pretty sure it never gets that high in Mexico, unless you are an officer- and that's why you have a family to pitch in. Most families find slaves unnecessary and just another mouth to underfeed. This is the first case of this type to be prosecuted in Rosarito Beach.

I'm still not sure what a commercial policeman is? Are they code-enforcers or something? Was this guy expecting a cut of the parking meter revenue or something? ;)

They are like armed security guards. They are actually employed by the police department, but their salaries are paid by the merchant whose business they guard. They usually wear those tan khaki uniforms.

A gutsy move for a 500 peso a day rental cop. Where does he get the money to feed her, let alone have a house that needs a live-in maid?

Maid around the house...

Actually, I just read the article in Ensenada.net...a couple from Rosarito were arrested for advertising for a person to just take care of their baby, evidently hiring a 14 year old wasn't the problem, the problem was that they promised her pay and when she got to Rosarito they didn't pay her, kept her under lock and key, and had her do housecleaning until she escaped and complained to the authorities..
