Toll Free Hotline (from USA) to Report Baja Crime
U.S. callers can use tip hotline for Mexican crimes
By Leslie Berestein Union-Tribune Staff Writer
2:00 a.m. May 22, 2009
Mexican government officials announced a new toll-free hotline yesterday that will allow crime victims or witnesses to crimes in Baja California to
call from the United States with anonymous tips for law enforcement in Mexico.
The hotline, at (866) 201-5060, is a service of the Baja California state government and is running. According to Alberto Díaz González, a spokesman
for the Mexican consulate in San Diego.
Caller identification will be blocked, so there will be no record of who calls.
No personal information will be taken, he said, only the caller's statement.
According to a government leaflet, the hotline will be staffed 24 hours a day and may be dialed toll-free from anywhere in the United States,
including Hawaii and Alaska, as well as from Puerto Rico.

Why would that prevent CabRon from posting?

Its been around a while Linda but it is not going to help the situation one bit.
In order to get someone to help put the finger on a criminal one has to offer some form of civil protection to those that offer up same information.
Mexico is more apt to have a hit squad show up from your local law enforcement detachment to silence you than to protect you. It just the way it is.
