Constitution cops... Again.
Little fat guy tracked us from the frontage road all the way thru town. We stopped completely at every sign and as we passed the last one he hit the
lights.
Told him we video"d the entire trip thru town and to please speak into the camera.
He just turned around and hurried back to his truck.
Also checkpoint into and out of La Paz the cops Are trying to extort 500 np if your dog is not in a kennel

Dog in a kennel?
Is that a law, or a shakedown? Even a medium sized kennel is to big for my little SUV, and I wouldn't want to coop my girl up for a trip that long
anyway!
I did buy a harness that clips into the rear seat belt, I wonder if that would keep us out of trouble? I bought it mainly to keep her from jumping or
bouncing out of the car when I have the top off, and to protect us both in case of an accident.
Thanks for bringing this up, it is news to me!

Dash cam
We came south through there yesterday 41 ft with 17 ft more of trailer. Had the dash cam all lubed up and running. Drove 15 mph all the way through
town with complete stops at every stop sign. Not a cop to be seen. Sort of disappointed!

Whoa------ a family of people is fine in the back of a truck, but a dog inside a vehicle has to be kenneled??? Like to read that law.

A dash cam! Ingenious. Way to go. I only wish you had video of him hustling back to his truck.
Interesting on the dog/kennel front. You say cops, so I'm assuming not the military checkpoint. Were they federales or state/local policia?
I know I've read that dogs have to be in a kennel when crossing the border (not that I've ever seen it enforced), but in general in Baja? What a joke.
The best we've seen was a truck with a 16ft panga precariously lashed to it, sitting upright in the bed with the prow up over the cab - as we drove
past, two kids were giggling and peeking out of the back of the panga. Terrifying!

Local cops. Think there is some kind of rule that dogs need to be "restrained"
when in a vehicle. Not real sure where I got that.

Although we have never had a problem driving through, we always drive VERY slowly, and make all the stops.
This problem there has been reported about for over a decade.
And I thought it had been eradicated. Oh, well.

You folks of a different culture will just never get it.
Didja ever take the time to research the issue of police impunity, and human rights abuse, at all levels, in Mexico?
Would you think, just for a minute, that the officials to whom you might complain, are free of the same infractions? The captain behind the desk
spent his time on the streets too......and Serpico doesn't work here.
You won't change anything, so why keep trying?

The little fat guy must get around...he also works in Tecate and likes to follow people around, and then, just before you leave town, he turns on his
red lights.

Wow. What's your point, Dennis? I mean, what do you suggest? Stay away, or pay up?
What would you have done in the CC scenario?

Whatever went down, [where is this video? I don't see any gawdamm videos] I'd have done the only thing we have as defense to armed robbery. Shut my
mouth an stare off into the distance. "Lets go to the station."
I don't give a big eff what anyone does, but please quit trying to bring a US style of culture, law and order to another country. It's arrogant and
offensive.
Again I say, did anyone here ever research the studies by, especially Dutch Social Scientists, concerning impunity for law enforcement in Mexico?
Lemme answer that for you...."No."
