My sympathies to the parents and family but when in a foreign country you had better not act improperly or bad things happen....Mexico is very
tolerant of crazy behavior to a certain point. I remember MANY crazy days and nights in Hussongs Cantina and nobody was incarcerated thank goodness.

My friends and I got thrown out (asked to leave by gun toting cop or security guard) of Hussongs about 20 years ago for being too noisy. I haven't
been back but a couple of times since. I don't like their margaritas.

Woman's death in Ensenada jail is probed
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/mexico/tijuana/20050831-9...
August 31, 2005
TIJUANA ? Ensenada authorities are investigating whether police officers were involved in the death of an Orange County woman in a jail cell Aug. 9.
At a news conference by the Baja California state attorney general's office in Ensenada last week, authorities rejected theories that Pauline Baeza,
20, died from a self-inflicted wound or committed suicide, said Liza Davis, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana.
Davis said the focus on police is based on a videotape of Baeza as she was being taken to her jail cell, shortly before her death.
"It showed that she fell or was dropped and hit her head in such a way that was consistent with the injury that caused her death," Davis said.
An autopsy report determined that Baeza died from a brain hemorrhage caused by blunt trauma to the back of her head, Davis said.
She said Ensenada authorities have been talking to nine officers in an attempt to identify suspects.
"Mexican authorities have been very aggressive in monitoring this," she said.
Attempts to reach authorities at the Ensenada state attorney general's office for comment were unsuccessful.
The Orange County Register reported last weekend that Baeza had struggled with mental illness and had left for Tijuana abruptly. She was detained by
Ensenada police twice the same day for alleged aggressive behavior before being taken to the jail cell where she was found dead about 11:30 p.m.,
Davis said.

Cops get temporary immunity in death
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/mexico/tijuana/20050922-9...
September 22, 2005
TIJUANA? Six Ensenada police officers under investigation for possible involvement in the death of an Orange County woman have obtained temporary
legal immunity, the U.S. Consulate said.
The six officers have been suspended from duty, but they obtained what is called an amparo, which prevents them from being arrested immediately, said
Liza Davis, a consulate spokeswoman.
Pauline Baeza, 20, was found dead in a jail cell Aug. 9. The investigation by state authorities has focused on what happened while police were
carrying her to the cell.
Last month, the state attorney general's office presented a computer-generated reconstruction of what might have happened: It showed Baeza either
falling or being dropped on the ground, hitting her head. An autopsy determined that Baeza died from a brain hemorrhage caused by blunt trauma to the
back of her head.
Attempts to reach authorities at the state attorney general's office in Ensenada for comment were unsuccessful. An amparo is a common legal tool meant
to protect individuals from abuse of government authority, such as unfair prosecution, but it can also be used to delay arrests until a judge reviews
the amparo.

Officers Charged In Baja Jail Death Of SoCal Woman
http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/5009294/detail.html
September 22, 2005
SAN DIEGO -- Several police officers in Mexico are being charged in the death of a California woman who died in an Ensenada jail cell.
NBC 7/39's Spanish-language sister station in Los Angeles was able to confirm that the Mexican officers are being charged in the death of Paulina
Baeza, 20. The investigation also revealed that three others will face charges connected to conspiracy to cover up her death.
Surveillance video shot inside the jail shows Baeza being carried and dragged by officers a short time before she was reported dead inside her prison
cell. In the video, an officer can be seen grabbing Baeza by her hair. Another one is shown laughing, and one office appears to draw his finger across
his throat, then dances as the girl is hauled away.
Baeza was arrested Aug. 9 after Ensenada police received two reports that she had been behaving in an aggressive, disoriented manner in public, said
Liza Davis, a representative of the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana.
An autopsy by Mexican authorities showed that Baeza later died of blunt force trauma that caused a brain hemorrhage while in jail, Davis said.
Mexican authorities have obtained a security videotape showing that Baeza was held in the air as authorities tried to subdue her. She was dropped and
hit her head.
Officials at the public prosecutor's office in Ensenada, a city on the Pacific coast about 60 miles south of San Diego, could not be reached for
comment on Monday.
"They do believe that there was some police contribution to [Baeza's] death," Davis said.
Baeza's parents are outraged about her treatment at the hands of the officers. Pablo Baeza called his daughter's treatment aggressive and abusive. Her
family is still mourning the young woman, who was a college student in Irvine, Calif.
The news that a judge had ordered the arrest of the six officers-- and that charges have now been filed -- came as a relief to the young woman's
parents. Pablo said he was sad but somewhat satisfied that the truth was a bit clearer. He said he was hopeful that justice would be served. For her
part, Paulina Baeza's mother, Carmen, said she was glad there was some resolution to the case.
According to published reports, the official cause of death was craniofacial trauma with fracture to the base of Paulin a Baeza's skull. A coroner's
report from Mexico said there were hairline fractures on Baeza's forearms, bruises on her legs and arms. It also stated that she had a broken front
tooth and several bruises to her face.
The "Orange County Register" reported Thursday that Baeza's Chevy Blazer had been impounded after the vehicle was ticketed for blocking a driveway.
Police in Mexico said Baeza was arrested for trespassing when she climbed into a Chevy Blazer that was not hers, reported the paper.
Carmen told the "Register" that Baeza, who suffered from bipolar disorder, had not been taking medication for nearly 60 days before her trip to
Mexico. She also told the paper that Baeza had no history of violence but had become verbally abusive when not taking her medication.
Baeza's remains have been repatriated to family members in California.

So what happens to a Mexican cop....
when he's arrested in Ensenada? Do they take him out to Ojos and put him in with the general population?
