Mulege checking all vehicles
The police are checking for current plates and drivers licenses of all drivers. You must display a front plate if your state issues one. They know the
states that do not. Ticket is 245 pesos for expired plates, you get a ticket, present to admin office then cashier and they give you your license
back. They do not ask for registration, insurance or immigration status papers. You can not drive your can until it is legally plated.

This is in town, in front of the police station. Sometimes they set up under the bridge also. They normally wave the gringos thru, but now they are
checking everyone.

The cars are impounded and parked behind the police station. The owner of the vehicle is contacted and has
ten days to get the car's paperwork in order or lose it.
The person driving without a license is responsible for the $300peso fine.
btw, I drove past there this morning, saw the cops and they saw me.
I didn't stop and they didn't motion me over -- they know I'm good to go, I guess.

No, they are not impounding cars! I have expired plates and was told I could drive it today and come back tomorrow and possibly get
permission to drive it for 30 days while I get my paper work in order.
Gringo friends have been stopped with expire drivers lic. and they are told to drive home. Mexican friends, driving us plated cars, have been stopped
and they could no longer drive the car and the owner had to come and get it.
They are also enforcing wearing helmets for motos and quads.
This is a Mulege County Police operation using Mulege Police.

Glad you were given a reprieve. However, that
usually doesn't happen for Mexicans who lose their car on-the-spot and are always fined.

What do you mean by Mulege County Police. You have municipal police, Ministerial (which are federal) and Federales (Also Federal, known as pandas
with the black and white cars).

The Mulege police trucks are marked " Mulege municipal police"". The ones from Santa Rosalia are marked " Mulege something else........
I was told the SR police were for the county of Mulege. No? The main cop today was from SR, the others were local cops.
