Good advise David? Wich part? This?

If you agree with that statement, let me remind you that a couple of the people that would share theire last tortilla with you live in Tijuana,
Antonio, Fernando and theire families and I'm sure that most of our aquaintances are polite and respectful.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

Totally agree with your assessment of the transito cops in Cuidad Constitucion. Got there one Sunday about 9 am only to be stopped by Flaco and Gordo
the morning patrol boys. I was told that I had made an illegal left hand turn. I advised them that the last left hand turn I had made that morning
was when I left La Paz and that they clearly had made a mistake. I used only English and spent as much time as possible with them and then they lost
interest. I left without a ticket. They didn't suggest mordida. 
I didn't know that Rosarito cops patrolled that far into BCS.
Did you notice the silence from the "experts" when presented the proof of Union-Trib distortion and exaggeration in their reporting? 
Boycott San Fernando Valley, Irvine, Arizona, Pleasanton, Las Vegas and Missouri (parking ticket killer). They all have more crime than Baja. Thanks
for the head's up, I will add New Zealand, Australia and UK.

Ok. Math time. They fire 18 Rosarito cops over ballistics (not sure about legal charges) and there are 20-something reported kidnappings in all of
Baja. Were these the laziest crooked cops ever or what? Not even two kidnappings per year per crooked cop? And that's not even counting the TJ
police who are surely as bad as their Rosarito counterparts.

seconded.
Which leads us to the current situation we have now... "you can't get a country to solve a problem it doesn't have".
Does the technology (Nextel walkie-talkie, etc) exist to create an independent and reliable Nomad Alert reporting system?

Next...all Nomads can become vigilantes. Oh boy!
There Nomads who have espoused on this board the arming of Americans not only with defensive stuff, but also automatic high powered rifles. That,
friends, is truly exporting an American way of life. Just another example of Americans' willingness to assume we are the perfect people with the best
culture.
Clearly the step over the line to a life of a vigilante would be easy for some on this board.

I doubt that carrying a gun would keep anyone from stealing my plane, but if it wasn't for Mexican law I'd bring one along. bg
