Shits been twisted like that for over 40 years.... thought everyone knew the Mexican cops are like that! Haha dopes!

Stay on this side of the fence

 

[drew_built]

Crossed the border last March huge sign stating All marijuana products are illegal right next to ammo and firearms lol

 

[TITTIES AND BEER]

No Fucking way would I even piss over that fence

 

[havasujeeper]

I'd rather throw my money in the trash than go into that shithole, crooked country.

Bullshit you can get both in La we can put up a little fence if you need it

 

[DILLIGAF]

With ya....not for me at all. I would rather see the USA and spend my money here. I would have a problem some cop trying to extort me.....F THAT

 

[Danger Dave]

In my experience it's always a solid move to expose corrupt cops/politicians/officials and then remain in country.

Lol
LA you can sneak “protection” in to defend yourself, Mexico not so much
And no cash bail, no gun enhancements, so LA is better for that and better Mexican food
Beaches? Mexico wins that

 

[gqchris]

Big deal. Local police extortion is always there. Everyone knows to have payoff money ready. $100/$50 even and they would have been done.

Now if that was the cartel, you got a fucking problem.

 

[Ziggy]

But the weather is nice there.

NO Fkin thank you, I will keep my feet on US soil....

I feel uneasy just going in the mexican consulate here in Nevada .

Good thing guns are illegal in Mexico!

 

[Waffles]

Dude looked like he couldve starred in Pineapple Express and was shocked on why he got pulled over and extorted?




LOL!

 

[RiverDave]

Five hundred seems a bit steep for that little deal.. lol

people were wondering why I was so stoked on that troncones place in Mexico. It’s because it was nothing like that!

Well there goes a 1/3 of their stimulus check.

Last time over the border ( years ago) we were interrogated like that. I had nothing in the truck, but the Mexican border cop says, get out of the truck. He grabbed my center console with the cup holders and ripped it out to see if anything was hidden under it. He walked off leaving us outside the truck wondering what was next. After 5 minutes he returned and said, leave.

I swore at that point I needed to leave my temperament in the USA.

Its a shame you fed into the click bait bull shit tho....congrats....you played yourself lol
It wouldve been worth my while if those thumbnails were reality and were featured on the ync tho lol

-1/10 thread, would not read again.

 

[AZLineman]

2 times in a Mex jail when i was younger (and a lil out of control) the latter of the two in Ensenada was bad. Almst blead out in that one. Guns, knives and broken glass. I dnt take kindy to being harassed. Not so fun times looking back. That shit cured me of that place for life.

 

[havasujeeper]

My family had a 3 house compound, overlooking the ocean near Colonet. Had it for 20 years until one day some local said, "get off my land", and the family had 24 hours to move. We took the family tractor and bulldozed all 3 houses, and of course, the land owner then said he didn't want it. A 5 year court battle ensued, spent $500K on attorneys, and lost the case. The houses were rebuilt 1/2 mile away, my son inherited the entire estate, and he walked away from it. I get it, way down south, things are certainly different. Beautiful people, beautiful culture, but same fucked up government.

 

[LazyLavey]

Inflation.... cost me $10 to pay off a San Felipe cop for trailer tail light out in the late 1980s

Another time...south of the border

A couple guys and I drove to Cabo in the 80s.. A friend drove his Uniflite (the "Tio Lee") to Cabo for the winter and needed a vehicle while he was there so we volunteered to drive a truck to Cabo

On the way down we stopped in Ensenada to get our papers validated... the office was closed so we said.. what the fuk and proceeded south

3 days and nights of great times, small town food and drink and no issues...... until ..........

Few more days of fishing and drinking.. it was all good until we had to fly home and did not have the proper validation.... which we failed to get in Ensenada..

"No problem" our skipper said....

Off we go to the Cabo immigration office.. It cost us a "Tio Lee" ball cap to get our papers fixed..... good times

 

[Havoc Powesports]

We were on this cruise. Almost booked the excursion but decided to walk the beach front and drink and crap shop. Cruise was way late leaving port. Excursion was thru the cruise.. https://www.wsmv.com/news/rutherfor...cle_6300b0f8-1556-11ea-8c28-5b42971e4279.html

Sounds awfully similar to what happened across the lake in Havasu City when the indians booted everyone off! Plain sucks!

 

[t&y]

Hold the fuckin phone.... You mean MEXICO requires you to check in and get a "visa" to tour their country??? Those Damn Racists!

Actually, that is where my mobile home is. In 1996?, the Indians raised the rent 4 fold. Us whities revolted, but 80% of us retained an attorney, and continued with our monthly rent, into an escrow account through the attorney. There was 20% of the folks who thought they would skate and not pay a dime during the revolt. When the dust settled, all residents who made their normal monthly rent payments into the escrow account were welcomed back. Only the 20% who tried to cheat the Indians were kicked off the property, permanently.

That was the standard TJ shake down.... nothing more.... I had to learn that way as well. Hated watching that but the van would always be shaken down and those rosta hairdos are an invitation for sure. When I saw them go get all that cash exchanged I figured they didn't know to hide the bulk of it. Unfortunately they'll come back penniless and will never return to Baja ..... That stop could've been a $50 bribe in experienced hands. Learning curve

 

[dirtslinger2]

I spend a ton of time in Baja, both northern Baja and Southern Baja. Probably in Baja 7-10 times a year and I've never had an issue. Of course not having an issue is a little bit luck, but also a lot about behavior, We don't do anything we wouldn't so here in the states, and we also take some extra precautions, like being alone at night, or driving at night. We always stop at the border and get our FMM cards, which is a simple process and takes no time.
If you are pulled over for an infraction, you always tell the officer you want to go to the station, never pay the extortion fee, and 99% of the time, you will be let go.
Those 2 made 2 mistakes, they should have told the "narcotics" guy to take them to the court house, and they should have told the cop the same regarding their seatbelt infraction.
Baja isn't for everyone, but I for one love it down there and love the people and culture.

Exactly. And there was a reason the Pendejo cop jumped in the van solo and hid out of site of his colleagues. He wanted know one to see his dumbass.

Whenever I am in Baja, I keep a 50$ dollar bill hidden on me for Bribe. Some will try to say "no way, ask for the Judge etc". To me its worth $50 to move on my way. I look at it as a toll charge.

Only had to use it once, 20 years ago in TJ. But that's because I was walking down an alley I shouldnt have been and was younger and buzzed. Lesson learned!

 

[HubbaHubbaLife]

I was just down 2 weeks back..... found a new gem called Encanto at K52 if any of you guys enjoy baja lobsta.... grabbed my annual Chiminia for $60 and back before sunset to buddies in SD. Never drive after sunset near border anymore.

Yup, you my friend are very generous.... I tuck a $20 as only visible money in my wallet, hiding anything larger. Tell em I dropped all my cash at Porta Nuevo on lobsta and thats all I got. Its typically a 10 minute inconvenience. Just doing our part to assist in local economy lol.

I can smell that van from here

 

[dave29]

Went to Catomar in the 70's hang gliding. Two of my buddies were lighting firecrackers on the beach. Local cop cuffed both of them and said they were going to jail. Cost us $20 per buddy to get them off. Only way I go to Mexico is to fly. Now I don't even like to do that.

 

[riverroyal]

25 years ago I crossed with a jet ski that was not registered, any where. It was a factory sea doo and I was going to a race in Ensenada. Cost me $60 to get IN Mexico. Straight into the guys pocket.
$500 paid that cops rent for the month. Or hong kong

 

[DLC]

It cost me $20 bucks to take a piss on the beach in San Felipe - went out the back patio at Club Bar Mira Mar!

We also got rousted for a bottle rocket war on the beach outside Rubins Camp - they have cabanas/ camping we would rent and stay. Great koko loccos
no dinero - no caca signs on the banyo’ s

good times

Fuckin Cantamar Trailer Park, Crazy times. late summer 66', three of us head down to surf. Drunken non-uniformed security cop at Cantamar picks a fight, I win, he pulls a 45 and he wins, and I end up in the Rosarito Jail. Fuck that place.
But I did made numerous trips fishing in Cabo in the 90's, great times without a single incident.

 

[dave29]

That's where we stayed when the buddies were cuffed.
I started to go to Cabo in the 80's when the only hotels were The Hacienda, Finestera and Solimar. No marina, no stop lights, dirt road from the airport and you bought a bucket of Coronas for the trip. You always caught a Marlin.

 

[havasujeeper]

When we went down to Mexico, we would get 10 $1.00 bills and one $5.00 bill. Roll it tight, with the $5.00 outward, and rubber band it tight. We'd throw it on the dash so if pulled over, we'd point to the money and all fines cost us $15. Worked every time.

Rather ironic that drugs come across the border TO the US constantly but the freak about fuckin CBD

That's when I really enjoyed Cabo, old Cabo and giant lobsters out at the Trailer Park. Mean looking teen soldiers with M16 at the scales I stayed at the old Finestera once, loved drinking beers watching the frigate birds dive bomb the bait schools off the beach. Then we found cheap, but really clean rooms at the Mar De Cortez downtown and it wasn't many stumbles from the Marlin Club

Club Bar Miramar and Rueben's! Brings back some great memories of the early 80's. Both places that were easy places to get in trouble!!!!

 

[Danger Dave]

Kid I went to high school with got busted running drugs by Tijuana Police. He was surfing Baja Malibu several times a week and bringing back heroin in his truck. He got caught and ended up doing time in La Mesa in downtown TJ. His family didn't have enough money to buy his way out of his sentence. I used to go down there with his brother to visit him every couple months. That place was crazy, but actually pretty safe for Americans at the time. They all lived on the same floor together, one floor below the cartel guys. He got moved to El Hongo once that opened, and got out a couple years later. El Hongo is a Mexican version of Pelican Bay east of Tecate.

Ahhhhh the Solmar .... my home away from home 1985-1998.... cried when they took her down. $185/ night and all the blow you could muster. Memories....
