They've probably been doing this forever. I wonder who dropped the dime on them?
After reading the link, it say's it was a chance encounter by agents on the show floor.

It couldn't have been the odd cop car out in the parking lot that tipped off the Feds. I suppose they had their uniforms on as well.

They must of been smokin some good stuff to think they could just drive into the gun show in an Armored Black Suburban with MX plates and not be
noticed.
The gun shows in Phoenix are crawling with every kind of cop imaginable.

The Mexican police structure has always confused me. In the US, or California at least, a state/city/county police officer of any stripe has the
authority to enforce any state law, although a few limited classes are encouraged (but not required) by law to stay within their law enforcement
parameters. Federal officers can only enforce federal law, or state and federal laws on federally owned soil. The military can't enforce any laws
outside a military base, except in declared emergencies. It's all pretty simple.
Here it is much different, apparently. I am told that city traffic officers can only enforce traffic codes, not criminal codes, and non-traffic
officers cannot enforce traffic. There are ministerial police, whatever that means, federal investigators working in cities, state police doing gawd
knows what, rural police, and more layers of state, federal, and military police doing overlapping or exclusive jobs than even Mexicans seem to be
able to understand.
I am told that the state governors have control over the military in their state, rather than the feds, and can use or abuse them as they wish. How
much of this is true is not the issue; rather it is that the system is so complex that the common citizen doesn't seem to understand it.
It seems the entire system is due for an exhaustive overhaul to streamline and define the jurisdictions. It will never happen, but we can hope.

Streamline and define....
I think that's the last thing they want. It would limit opportunity.
