Stunning that people would question his motives for carrying a 2 inch blade around. Like it indicates a flawed character, or something.

Sure it was a shakedown. That's what some of them do best, but the blade length is an issue, in this case, borderline, but an issue none the less.

I am losing faith in a country that bans knives over 2 inches..........yet has police forces that collude with and ignore armed drug gangs.

Really????? I have been riding wilderness backcountry for 40 years and never needed any of those things.....and have survived. When riding and lost,
retrace your steps/tracks....buy several Bic lighters....and a 3-4 inch blade works well enough for camp duties (except digging the foxholes and
latrine  ). |
That is not how I was trained whilst backpacking the Wind River Wilderness with my buddy Chuck.....

I personally think Dan-o's post and cartoon about "DO I SMELL A TROLL?" sums this whole thing up.
Also, another comment about "who cares if it's true or not?" also sums this whole thing up.
Remember, this is the guy that polled Nomads about banning Woody. I think he probably got popped for gargling in public. If it looks like horse
hockey, smells like horse hockey, it probably is horse hockey.
Much ado about nothing, methinks.

his camera phone pointed at people

a month later stoped by a cop for no reason
hmm, photos of people who might have something worth taking for example 10,000 pesos

standing at the san ysidro trolley looking northwest, you see the casa de cambio I refer to
they had 13.00 while most others had 12.90 or so
I was slow to connect the dots, but it fits the picture

I eat tomates most days, also like onions, I used it for food.
what is the recomended way to prepare food that needs to be cut up. |

I still think we are missing many facts here in this story, and so until I hear all the facts, I'm going to remain unconvinced the story went down as
the OP said, although I think something happen.
The only exception to the knife law, according to the "Codigo" the penal code of Baja, is if you have a legitimate use for the knife, for example, you
used the knife as part of your job, if you're a cook, or even a fisherman who has the knife in his tackle box.
If I'm a TJ cop, I'm not sure if I'm going to buy the excuse that somebody needs the knife to cut tomatoes |
If joe rover were homeless it would explain his need to slice tomatoes and onions while walking about downtown TJ, eh?
Or he could be a thief, but Jury still out as to whether joe rover is macheath or mackie messer,...

Debbie and I spend a lot of time out in the Baja boonies chasing birds to photograph. Ever since she was nearly attack by a bobcat at a lagoon she
carries a big knife and I always have a sharp machete on my belt. I hope this isn't a potential problem? We wouldn't carry these around in a
populated area.

Not a problem, Oly. The problem isn't with tools. It's with the rules enforcers. I mean, who doesn't own a machete?
I doubt there's a rule for long blades. They seem to be written for small blades that can be concealed. This rule is only in place to allow law
enforcement to be in complete control over people on the streets.
By the way....taking on a Bobcat with a knife is somewhat akin to getting into a gunfight with a knife....doncha think?
