Kinda strange, isn't it.....that when police act as they should, they become the unexpected aberration.


Unfortunately, that holds for many of the institutions of Mexico.

Then the Federal Policia stopped and helped. They were very polite and businesslike, ready to pitch in. Well soon there were 6 of them in 3 cars all with their lights flashing. When we found out the spare also was flat, they flagged down a gigantic semi truck and the driver did his best to fix it, but the valvestem went bad and he couldn't repair it. The policeman in charge then took me in to Mulege with the flat. The other policemen stayed with my wife at the car. I had a used tire mounted on the wheel and they bought me back. They insisted on doing all the manual work of replacing the tire. I offered to pay them or donate to their fund, but NO. They wouldn't accept it. They were based in Santa Rosalia and were all complete gentlemen and most professional. I will forever be indebted to those Federal Policemen, they made it all happen in a short time and all very safely. I promised them, my wife and myself I would be more prepared next time. GRACIAS POLICIA FEDERAL!!

..so what's the big deal? The CHP woud do the same thing wouldn't they? :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I have also had nothing but positive interactions with the Federal Police.

Most notable was last year when a local ran out in front of my friends truck on the toll road north of Ensenada and was hit and sent flying over the back of his vehicle. We spent about 5 hours with the Federales at their headquarters in downtown Ensenada while we worked out the insurance details and legal procedures. All of the Federales that we interacted with were very professional and helpful throughout the ordeal. Thankfully, the local did not suffer any life threatening injuries and was only hospitalized for a short time.

I'm sure that Geoff is referring to the Federal Highway Police.

There are other federal police agencies that may warrent differing evaluations.
