Wait till one of them steals the files and sells them to a hacker. There goes your id.

If they didn't give you any documentation to prove you've been through the process, then what happens next time you pull up to one of these
checkpoints?
I can see it now, a very long wait in your vehicle until it's your turn. Tell them you've already been through the process. They won't believe you.
The questions start all over again until hopefully your name, photo, fingerprints, etc. pull up on the screen. Then you're let go, but lost good
daylight driving time.
Then on your way back you run into another and it starts all over again.
Did they have outhouses set up?

Does this tie into the US system? What if you have a warrant in the US? I know that you are checked for US warrants when they run your plates at the
border. That could really complicate things even more. Or is this just for Mexico warrants? It sure seems like an awful amount of man power and
effort. I wonder how much it is really going to pay off.

Yes, we all wonder how much good it will do...
But we can hope it's a case of Baja Sur trying to separate themselves from the drug problems of Norte and the mainland.
Oh, there may be outhouses, I think, by the store behind the gate on the right. At least I saw a gringo wander back there probably for that purpose.
(This could be more useless information as well.)

Outhouses in Baja? Whatever happened to the GPS in the mind that said, "Over there behind that big rock." What's next? Pay toilets?

Dennis,
I was thinking that if I were waiting in a long line with everyone else just as bored as I am, and the urge should hit and it's going to be quite
awhile till we can pull off and take care of the calling, it would be nice to have a private hole in the ground vs. showing everyone else in line just
how I do it.
P<*)))>{
edit: re pay toilets, I've been in a few bathrooms in baja only to find out that the toilet paper has been held ransom. If you have to pay for paper,
then I'd call it a pay toilet.
I think they charge at La Buff too.

...............no, there is no direct link between NCIC and any Mexico agencies.
What if you have a warrant in the US?
.........what if you do??????
I know that you are checked for US warrants when they run your plates at the border.
..........not completely correct. The system checks for stolen vehicles, customs/immigration watches, NCIC felony extraditable warrants and INTERPOL
notices
Misdemeanor warrants (and/or felony warrants when the entering agency will not extradite) are not entered into NCIC.

They have been doing that on the mainland for years. Can't think of a long bus trip we have taken on the mainland where we were not stopped and had
to get off the bus while they checked luggage, etc.
Surprised they are just starting it here.
FDT---we may head to San Ignacio next week, so we check and see if the checkpoint is still active, but sorry, we have not outstanding warrants in the
US so can't test that.

Yup, we were in that cluster... One hours twenty minutes. Folks were not happy. My husband was fuming. No one came to tell us what was going on.
People were out of their cars. The military was doing just what they do - a quick check of the interior. It was the Policia Ministerial that were
trying to get a handle on what they were trying to do with their little laptops and not managing well at all. They wanted to know if my husband was
retired (yes), what he had done when working (SFPD), was he married. Took his photo and fingerprint. They told me to stay in the car. I think there
were a LOT more vehicles than they had expected. I can't imagine that this info they gathered will go anywhere except the ether, but they did their
duty. Bienvenidos a Mexico!

Thanks for clarification.
I just thought it might make a bucket of worms worse and the lines even longer then they seem to be.
Years ago I got stopped at a pullout along Bahia Concepcion. I was north bound and they were pulling over everyone. It was the most through search
I've every had.
Another time a buddy and I saw a handful of soldiers on top of a semi with axes chopping the hell out of the roof.

It would be interesting to know what they do with the data...use a modem to access DSL and download to a data base or download to onboard
storage/CD????. How will they share info between checkpoints????
Would also be interesting to know if they do a search function in the data base looking for someone before they enter that person in the data
base....or you could enter the same person a gazillion times and never know it..........
Oh well, it's Mexico.....think I'll have another Pacifico
