Trafic stop, Camalú
Ensenada (Ensenada, Baja Calif.) , El Financiero (Mexico City) 6/11/09
Federal police stopped a northbound vehicle for speeding on the highway between San Vicente and Camalú, Baja Calif. (some 60 + miles south of
Ensenada). The driver, Luis Alberto Verdugo Ramirez, gave answers which led to a search of the Jeep Cherokee he was driving. Police found a double
bottom to the rear of the gas tank; inside were 19 vacuum-sealed plastic packages which turned out to contain 17 kilos 621 grams of pure heroin.

Only an idiot would draw unnecessary attention in that type of situation.

Seems to me going the speed limit would draw attention.

Actually, there's approximately 25 miles there with a surprising presence of Federal Police. I often wondered why there? And there's a tremendous
amount of dangerous passing going on through there seemingly caused by the slow bus trafffic.

Just starting to wonder if I should cheer or boo. Truth is that intercepts of drug shipments serves to drive up the price on the street. It doesn't
curb the desire. After all this time, decades, billions spent on advertising. Taxes increased to the roof, still somewhere between 20 and 25% of
Americans smoke cigarettes. So, apply that to the drug trade.

Bajahowodd, although I personally consider the USA "War on Drugs" to be a repressive and misguided effort......never the less USA drug users, like
alcohol and nicotine users are proven to respond to price increases by reducing use. In the current collapsing USA economy...the costs and therefore
the reduction in use (demand) for RECREATIONAL DRUGS in response to cost increases will also increase. Get It Cost Increases....increase in the
decline of demand!
Bajahowodd, I am very tired of your chicken little reactions to every bit of news you can spin as BAD about Baja/Mexico. I travel south with
reasonable precautions and my eyes open. I have had no notable crises since my first trip in 1974. I feel more comfortable traveling in Baja than in
many ares of the Bay Area Urban Matrix.
Please get help for your obsession....Thanks.
