Police uniforms, two police cars 4 police men, one police woman, guns on hips and a desire to rob a 72 year old woman, well, nothing to stop you.
Today, October 14, 2023 at 9:00 AM, after departing Mexicali West gate I proceeded to make my way left to find the on ramp for Mex 2 and the via ducts
to Mex 5.
Having done this before I was very careful to stop at all the stop signs and signal at merges.
As I got on the ramp, two police cars came up behind me and had their flashing lights as well as a bleep from the siren.
I pulled over. An officer, clean uniform, well cut hair, asked my name and where I was going. I told him. He then accused me of driving
erratically. Which I know I was not. He then asked for my driver's license and registration, which I gave him.
He went to the rear of my vehicle and pow wowed with four other officers.
He returned and asked me to get out of the vehicle and brought me around to the passenger side of the car and informed me that the female officer
would search me for drugs and weapons
The officer asked to search my vehicle. Knowing I had no drugs or weapons I allowed the search. At the same time the female officer ran through my
purse opening all zippers and seeing the cash I was carrying. I pointed out swiss army I had but she, at that time, did not take notice.
I was continually asked if I had any drugs or weapons to which I continued to say no drugs or weapons.
Mean while three of the officers were going through my various gear bags.
The most intimidating officer then asked to search on the driver's side and brought me to that side.
He opened the door, looked for a few seconds, closed the door and brought me back to the passenger side.
He then reached into one of my gear bags that contained USB wires and chargers and pulled out a good size knife, black handle with a release button
and said he found this.
I had never seen that knife in my life. I was shocked that these five officers were setting me up.
The officer the asked me to dump the contents of my purse on the passenger seat while another officer kept asking me if this was my knife. No no no no
no and many more nos is all I could say in my disbelief. The female officer started handing back the contents of my purse while I stood in shock.
The intimidating officer and the female officer stood behind me while the controlling officer started at me asking me if I was telling the truth.
Finally the controlling officer said I shouldn't have the swiss army knife in my pocket, have a nice day. The damage was done.
I wanted out of there as far as possible before I checked my purse.
I discovered my wallets open zipper which I knew I closed and 6, 100 dollar bills were gone.
These police robbed me in Mexicali 5 minutes from my boarder crossing. |
