Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Hargow20]

It is extremely distrurbing to hear that this is taking place with all the police around. There is usually at least 1 or cops standing in front of the bars. I was looking at Google maps and Calle Primera does not intersect or become Articulo 123. But how many blocks up from Nino's Heroos did the shooting take place. Personally I am avoiding the Zona until weather cools off a bit.

I never indicated that I arrived at 2 am. You are confusing me with another poster down below. I was in the alley at *around 11 am.

Articulo 123 I believe starts on Ninos Heroes and Calle Primera. Calle Primera basically turns into Articulo 123.

What time in the morning did you see this. ? You indicated that you arrived in the Zona around 2 am. Also please provide a map link to Articulo 123. ? I am assuming that this happened somewhere between 2 am-6 am. ?

Lots of gun play around the zona this week. I personally ran away from a guy running down the alley with a gun in his hand. Two more murders followed on Articulo 123 . One was just this morning. Couple that with the recent death two weeks ago in the alley.

New government and hot weather = Rocky Times.

I'd love to post the relevant articles in spanish but not being able to load photos onto my post make it useless.

Be Careful.

The way things are going, guys might want to invest in used bulletproof / stabproof shirts and vests off of Ebay in the future for peace of mind. For a scary new movie about Mexico, check on Youtube for "Sicario Trailer", which might motivate you to spring for the extra protection from stray shootouts in the "gunfree" zone of Mexico.

Only 1 out of 14 murders was in Zona Norte. The rest was in other colonias, with 1 female tortured and beaten to death and left in a Taxi Libre.

This is extreme cruelty that exceeds any criminal records in any country. The Italian Mafiosi would look like country gentlemen next to Mexican murderous criminals.

El Capitan will neither take Taxi Libres, nor hang out in La Zona Norte with cold, hard, old, ugly, obese bar girls, street girls, escorts, or will he be moving to Tijuana any time soon.

Re. Artistype.

Tijuana, Baja California (GH).

Twelve murders were recorded in less than 12 hours between dawn and yesterday afternoon in different events.

At 2:50 am, a dead man was found in a neighborhood road located next to the Monserrat Private Community of the Residential Barcelona subdivision.

The first versions indicate that the victim received projectile impacts in the hands, to later be finished with a bullet in the head...

Wednesday 9 AM I was driving East on Coahuila back to the border when 2 policia patrol cars started following me.

I turned South on Madero, approaching the Wax Museum, when the assholes flashed their beacons. 2 guys with no names, no badges approached our car. I was pissed off as usual and asked them in loud voice, "Que Pasa? Que Pasa?" The guy said he was searching for drugs and wanted to see my driver's license and car registration. I gave him the business card for Tijuana's Internal Affairs attorney. He looked scared but asked if I had any drugs or alcohol. I denied all.

He started an embarrassed smile, asked me to calm down, "Tranquillo, tranquillo" and asked me to put my hands on the trunk for a search. I held my wallet and cash in both hands. He went through my pockets and was laughing at the big load of condoms in my pocket. They wanted to search my wingman. I already told him to hold his wallet and cash in hands if stopped by policias, so they could not steal anything.

They let us go, smiling apologetically. They carefully drove behind us to hide their car's ID, but I took it down in the rear view mirror, P0443.

Looks like policias are taking advantage of lax supervision during the transition of the new presidency to harassed people. Just put up with their bullshit but act with confidence until the new government takes firm controls.

Bigger payday / kickback from the clinic / hospital. Emergency surgery on his wallet.

To be fair, I saw the Tijuana policia helping an old American tourist with a cane in front of Tijuana Tillys Restaurant last Sunday. Looked like the guy was having a serious health problem and they were helping him into the patrol car to take him to a hospital. So they do provide a service and are not completely useless.

Yep if they have half a brain it would be pretty easy for them to figure out who the riff raff are. So when they are stopping us clean cut american sex tourist types they have a pretty clear cut motive.And its not making the streets safer.

And then they ask do you have drugs to act like that is there main concern. Ridiculos all they have to do is stand up in one of the upper floor windows in cascadas and watch the area in front of the Eduardo you would be amazed at all the drugs and money you will see changing hands.

Fuck those thieving monkeys!

[Baxter Slade]

When the police stop and search me and then tell me they need to search my wallet you know they are corrupt. !!

I've said this before and I am not saying this to anyone in particular. Just a general comment.

I think it's important to differentiate being stopped and questioned by police and being robbed by police. We talk alot about safety concerns. Only the police can combat that. So it's like having your cake and eating it too.

Are there corrupt police? Certainly. But I also understand that some of their police work is to talk to people. And when I think about my activities, loitering in the alley for a short time, or when known dealers approach you, I can understand a question from the police.

My only point is we absolutely need to warn each other about corrupt police activity. But we also don't need to overreact "normal" police work.

I was exiting Chicago and headed toward Adelitas, and there was a policia car parked on the corner waiting for someone like me. They called me over for questioning and I had no choice but to comply. They asked me where I was going, what I was doing, where I was from, where did I work, do I have drugs. I gave them honest answers about everything and simply told them I was going to Adelitas. I put my cash in my hand and they frisked me down and they let me go. I had about 200 on me, I don't know if they would have tried to take some if I had left it in my pocket while they frisked me.

I know.

The policia definitely would have tried to palm some of your money if you gave them the opportunity.
