Posts: 6523$5,000 SENTRI lane fine
A fun bro drove 3 others in a double date to Tijuana. On the way back, as the directions were confusing, he mistakenly drove into SENTRI lane. He thought he had only 1 prior warning, but he actually had 2 prior, so this third time they were sent to Secondary Inspection and fined $5,000. Payable on the spot of his car would get impounded. He had to pay with his credit card to get out. Impounded cars will incur additional storage and recovery costs.
People have worked with the court and get the fine reduced to $500. He should wait for the court notice and write to the court, plead innocence or poverty and try to get the fine reduced. I had traffic tickets, paid full bail amounts to County courts, contested the charges, got them dismissed and refunded.
Warnings about $5,000 fine have been posted along the SENTRI lanes for decades. His 3 passengers were also given first time warnings, recorded in CBP file for life. This is serious. They may be denied SENTRI or GLOBAL ENTRY if they apply in the future.
Attorney John M Manley in San Diego has a blog dealing with this issue:
https://johnmanley.net/is-cbp-actual...ne-violations/
Or you may want to contact Federal Defenders of San Diego, Inc. , a federally-funded legal group to defend indigents:

I also had a couple warnings in SENTRI lanes in the past 7 or 8 years. I applied to renew the card in 2018 and was approved quickly. So CBP can be lenient.
Last month I lost my wallet in HK, damn, drove back in SENTRI lanes with no IDs or money whatsoever. I explained to the CBP guy at the barrier, he let me drive to the car booth. Again explained to the CBP guy at the booth. He looked up my name and waved me through quickly, no problem. I applied for card replacement, got an email from CBP saying your card is approved, go ahead and use it. The next week I still had not received the card, printed out that letter and showed it to CBP to cross back. The CBP agent said I could use Global Entry lanes at airport without the card, but for land crossing, the card is required for them to pull up records. He looked up my record and and let me through without warning.
Like other cases in Federal law enforcement, the feds would give suspects one or two warnings. Once the suspects know they are in violation of the laws but keep violating, the Feds will enforce the laws with proof of intent.

I hope HK did not execute him for theft.
He had nothing to do with the cash registers. It was unusual to see him with a big stack of Mexico's pesos.
I saw him leaning on the DJ's booth the Friday night before the shoot out. He looked very down and out. I did not know what happened and did not have time to talk to him.

Posts: 6523Augustin is a low-level guy. He's supposed to supervise the floor but only walked around the club not doing anything.
Like other indirect workers, he worked only on call, not full time, not permanent. I found him one night standing next to the front desk handling, but not counting, a stack of 200,500-peso bills about 10 inch thick.
If anyone wants to warn Hong Kong, they would have to aim at the owners' families, wives, GFs, children ect, not a low level worker like Augustin. So I tend to believe it was personal against him, not HK.

Posts: 6523No mistaken ID possible
HK management is saying perhaps he was a case of mistaken identity.
That's utter bullshiit. He was driving a bright yellow Nissan Xterra which is unique to him. Shooter could not make such a stupid mistake on a murder case. Assassins are usually way smarter than HK managers.
I saw him last Friday night standing against the DJ booth, looing very down and sad. Perhaps he took out loans to survive through CoVid time and could not repay in time? May be he was selling some funny shit and owed dealers money?

He has not been working a lot in HK after CoVid. He may be owing someone money and could not pay.
Al those indirect people are on call, not permanent, not full time. Meseros pay rent for their jobs so they are always welcomed to work. Chicas also have to pay rent with their ficha quota, so they can work, only fat, ugly girls are sent home.
It's sad what happened to a lot of people after CoVid.
I knew him well, I was told by my ex mesero friend about the news of his death. I am truly sorry for his family, how evil the cartel violence is in Mexico and especially Tijuana. I will be honest, there are not any permanent happy endings in the zona.

Posts: 6523Set up with policia
Looks like the taxi driver set these guys up for a bust.
Taxi drivers in Tijuana are the least trust-worthy people. They will harm you given any opportunities.
Better to book UBER or LYFT.
