Jesse, You are absoluly right. I travel all over Mexico and Latin America and I am convinced that this is an isolated incident and the Police that are involved will be brought to justice. As much as we talk about how corrupt the police are here in Mexico things will never change, not in my lifetime. This has been going on ever since Cortez stepped foot in Mexico. Corruption is here to stay not only here in Mexico but all over the world. Alot of people look at this terrible crime and say " Ill never go back to Mexico" however if you remember a few years ago there was a California Highway Patrolman who raped and killed a woman he had pulled over in San Diego and I dont hear anyone saying " I wont go back to California". The problem is that the police in Mexico are undertrained and underpaid. There is no "Internal Affairs" department in the PD office in Mexican cities that overlook all aspects of police misconduct and there shoud be. I believe in Guadalajara several years ago they tried to promote a IA office and several officers from that division were murdered as well. These officers need to made examples of and their punishment should be harsh however the Penal Code book in Mexico gives specific prison terms for each offense and these punishments are followed to the tee and they are not that bad as far as time to be served. This should be changed immediatly and the penaltys need to be more severe. None of these officers should have been released but you have to remember where you are. Money to the right person will get you what you want---PERIOD-- and there is nothing you can do about it. I am a gringo and have lived in Baja for 17 years and I have never been hasseled by the police. I tell them when I am pulled over for a violation that I am a retired cop they respect that and let me go. I have never paid off a cop or a government official. My heart goes out to the family of the woman and to her I say I am so sorry for what had happened. I wish there was something I could do for her. If it was my wife I would take things into my own hands and there would be no need for a court or judge. The police would have been introduced to my wood chipper machine and would have been before St. Peter a long time ago!
