SLRC Fun but no Tijuana or even Algo
I have replied to SLRC questions in the Algo forum before. I live in SLRC work in AZ. Hammer pretty much summed it up below. Africa is closed, now called Aniconda. I have never heard or seen Otra PDO. No street walkers. Well except at Libertad why 6. But many are older. Bad area. Trannies. Two massage parlors as mentioned. But I find them over priced and poor service. No real action in boobies but good for bucket of beer and strip show. Ask for 1's they will make change. Never a problem at Boobies. Wish I had better news to report.
One note. New police chief. Don't drink and drive. They are pulling over AZ plates.
SLRC Cops and Planning A Trip This Weekend
[quote=the hammer1169; 1372981]cops are notoriously dirty in san luis, although i had my share of experiences with them in mexicali. worst situation in san luis a fat ass cop pulled me and my mexican wife over. my tabs were expired in the states because i lived down there. dude tries to tell me i have to pay a citation for expired tabs and if i don't he is towing my truck. i'm telling him he can't enforce united states laws when my wife, who at that time was 26 but looks to this day like she is 16, jumps out and tears him a new ass. she starts calling him an extortionist and reads him the riot act. guy looks at her, then at me and says "you are going to prison for corruption of a minor." at that moment, under mexican procedural law, he could have arrested me and charged me, and make me prove in court my wife was an adult. this could take 1-6 months (in mexico you are guilty until you prove innocence). i'm getting nervous, and i tell my wife "get a lawyer." she pulls her i'd out and shows her true age. i knew when i said the word "lawyer" the guy's face changed. he got nervous and didn't expect the stop to go sideways like it did. no doubt he thought he would get his $20. 00 shakedown. anyway, he told us to go. his last word to me was "you need to control the mouth of your wife." my response "you do it. she won't listen to me, and its the same way at home as she was here."
mexicali is equally as bad or worse. i got stopped down there one time at midnight. two cops get out, one big and tall and the other a shorty. the tall one worked his way around me and got behind me while the shorty engaged me in questioning. guy grabs my keys and goes through my trunk where he found 100 valium i had just bought from a labratory, no perscription by the way. he sticks the butt of his assault weapon up against the back of my head. i ask why they stopped me and the shorty tells me "you ran that stop sign" and points off in the distance. there's no sign in existence. at that moment i knew i was going down or buying my way out. i said straight out in english "how much you want?" the shorty says in spanish "20 for him and 20 for me." i paid up. one thing; they hate the paper work that goes into an arrest and towing of a car. i know of guys who were wanted in the usa and got raided by mexican police. they let him walk and told him straight up it would take them 6-hours of paper work and he wasn't worth it.
also; they can't tow your car for a simple traffic stop. tell them you will pay at the office. they usually take your plates off your car and you have to go get them when you pay your ticket.[/quote]i never drive into mexico so i will not have to worry about the cops. i do not want to have to pay for the mexican auto insurance. are the cops in slrc though sort of like tijuana cops in sometimes they will try to extort pedestrian gringos? i will have to see if i can find the slrc sindicatura online like i did for tijuana. in tijuana i have a friend that has the business card to the chief of the tijuana sindicatura. he told me that all he ever has to do when he is pulled over in tijuana is show them the business card and they leave him alone. they know right away he is not a "stupid gringo" that is not aware of the rights they have in mexico. i will have to see if slrc has a sindicatura too.
in tijuana i read right on the tijuana's police's english version of the website that you have a right to have any ticket you received given to you written and that you can pay the ticket from the united states. tijuana even has an office in san diego to pay tickets from down there. i am thinking then if say you got a speeding ticket and you asked the officer for a written ticket and took it home and never paid it how would they possibly trace you down for it? they can't call the american cops and have you arrested for failure to appear in court.
i am going to try to go to slrc on saturday this weekend for my first time ever. if i go there and i decide that i hate it i may say fuck it and go back over and then go to either los algodones or mexicali. i do not think i will make it to tijuana this weekend. if any wingmen want to come along contact me. as you can tell from my name, i lilve in tempe, arizona (suburban phoenix). so if you live in the phoenix area or somewhere in between here and there contact me as i would not mind having someone to share the cost of gasoline. i drive a pretty fuel efficient car so i can get us there for not too much.

Can anyone update the scene in San Luis Rio Colorado??
Can anyone who lives in the area provide an Update the Scene in San Luis Rio Colorado? I've been going to Los Algodones the last few years but was thinking of venturing back to San Luis if I was sure there is 1 or more viable options.
Thanks in advance.
