A sign you DON'T want to see in Ciudad Constitucion
Ciudad Constitucion Police Station / Traffic Court
A sign you DON'T want to see as you follow the police officer (carrying your driver's license) to the police station. Ciudad Constitucion, Highway 1,
July 2010.
The first time I was stopped (unjustly), I paid the mordida ($10, $5 for each officer) and headed south.
This second time (also unjustly), I demanded to see "the judge" before heading North. For arguing my innocence and that he was wrong (in his mind, a
liar), the officer added a second charge of "resisting." I'd rather pay the fine to the "court" (a guy in a short sleeve shirt behind a desk in a
plain old office) than line the pockets of crooked cops. The fines were reduced to a whopping $18.
Yes, they're once again stopping people, for various reasons. I'm using the parallel dirt streets the next time. So as not to be angry about this on
the subsequent long drive, I simply put on my happy face and pretended it was a "toll" for using their street. Ugh!
Note that somewhere on this forum was a thread about traffic stops in Ciudad Constitucion.

Los Cabos Clothing Optional
This sign I like. Seen at a campground in Los Cabos. July 2010. Also saw it posted at a beach. Send me a private e-mail if you want more information
about the locations.

Cabo San Lucas Humane Society
A good sign. A good place to do some volunteer work. They really need on-going help twice per day walking dogs.

"No, no, no" said the sign installation supervisor ...
"No, no, no" said the sign installation supervisor ... "I said lay down the OLD sign and install the NEW sign, not lay
down the new sign and preserve the old sign."
Yuk, yuk. 
Turn off near Palo Verde between Santa Rosalia & Mulege. July 2010.

The sign is OK. It's the location I don't want to be/see
The sign is OK. It's the location I don't want to be/see. I think that I'll just skip this little side trip just 300
meters ahead. The prison a few kilometers south of Santa Rosalia.

Cactus Sanctuary
Hmmmm. I gotta think about this one. No feet. No fins. No wings. How are they gonna get across the border to the sanctuary???
Or maybe they're worried about them getting away? Good thing they put up a fence.
Oh, now I get it. Theft! They're worried about people stealing cactuses. Cacti? Whatever. I'll just run in there and grab me one as a curio. Thorns
and all.

Tope on a washboard dirt road ???
Okay. I need help with this one.
Will someone please tell me why there's a speed bump on a dirt road totally washboard rough where you cannot drive more than 10 mph?
East Cape road. June 2008.

OK, I'm supposed to what at this traffic signal?
Captions needed --- comments welcome.
Transpeninsular highway westbound into Cabo San Lucas.
If you've spent any time driving around here, you'll learn this one real fast. And know not to screw it up. Divided highway with a "frontage" road.
Good luck. Best caption gets a fish taco. Make sure you've got insurance before you start.

A Good Sign: Policia de los Cabos K9 Unit
I think this is a good sign? THOUGHTS & COMMENTS WELCOME.
Police K-9 Unit in San Jose del Cabo & Cabo San Lucas.
The Cape and canines sure have come a long way since the 1980's with respect to dogs and cultural issues related to canines.
David, perhaps this should be a new topic / new thread??
