Crime, Safety, and the Police

[Sol12]

Asking for a friend who will be traveling to Zona Norte with me next month. I've been several times, but his first. He is a retired cop, but still maintains a "commission" and badge. Is there any advantage or disadvantage for him to carry his badge with him? I don't think he plans to flash it around, but he thinks it might be helpful if there are any encounters with the local law enforcement.

It won't matter, Tijuana cops will assume it's fake and the chance of even getting talked to by Tijuana cops is slim. I don't think it would hurt to have it on him in general but seems unnecessary to me.

This question reminds me of one night sitting at the bar in CC sand an American guy was trying to talk to me and somehow it came up that he was a cop back in the US and he had brought us gun with him to Tijuana. He even showed me, I wished him luck but in my head I was wondering how dumb you'the have to be to bring a gun to Mexico but he was worried about the crime. The one thing I have always wondered since that visit is if he had problems with the US officials because this was after 9/11 and they had installed the metal detectors.

Was he a US cop or Mexican cop,

I never said the AMPS were legal, just open for business. Get on some of the USA Escort forum sites and you will see what I'm talking about. Are you at risk of getting busted? There's always that chance. Are you at risk of getting assaulted or killed in Tijuana? Also a possibility. There is nothing in life that is a certaintity, but death and taxes. I pay my taxes and death awaits me. In the mean time, I intend to life!

FYI, my knowledge of the AMPS is not just reading about them on sex forums!

Well we all know why the airlines feel confident those flights will be booked, at least 1 way, to Mexico. I bet there 99% empty going back.

I understand what your implying but Mexico is cracking down on migrants flying into Tijuana. Just got back from GDL and Mexican Immigration officers were checking ID of the passengers before getting on the plane at the gate. Also the normal immigration when you come thru Tijuana was making everyone show ID also.

Last year coming back my flight had a good number of very poor looking Chinese immigrants on the plane that weren't being allowed into Tijuana at the airport but I just walked by so not sure if they were sent back or had to pay the guys off.

I would be surprised if the planes empty going back since lots of business men are looking to do more business with Mexico. Also it's still easy for legit tourists to visit the US since the US has decreased the number of flights from China. Also the flight that's supposed to start in April will go from China to CDMX. But when leaving will stop in Tijuana but they didn't specify for how long. Something about the high altitude of CDMX not allowing the plane full to make it directly to China. So it has to stop in Tijuana and I think get full of fuel to make the long return.

I think the flights starting in June will be directly to and from Tijuana but it was supposed to start last year but keeps getting delayed.

Well pretty soon you might see those Chinese tourists roaming thru HK again because they are bringing that flight back this year. Hopefully as soon as April for one and the other one I read about before was supposed to come back in June if I remember correctly.

I used to see Chinese tourists that flew directly from China to Tijuana but those are long gone since the pandemic.

AMPS are illegal in the US so they're pretty much not an option.

I saw on the news thwres more AMP then Starbucks in USA. China mafia is involved with the operations. For instance I am in suburbs east coast there's Asian massage parlors every shopping center. I once realized a tiny 3 store shopping center on the highway was actually a mini zona norte. All 3 offices had their own types of woman Latino Asian blacks LOL. And.

Mexico is deploying 240 more national guard soldiers in Tijuana to control crime. !!

Would be interesting to see where the soldiers will patrolling.

Well the Tijuana papers didn't have much to say as far what exactly they are going to do. Claim it's for public safety but things have been pretty calm for the most part besides some attempted hit on a high ranking drug leader. Also says that they are for relief so some soldiers that have been in Tijuana for awhile might be getting rotated to somewhere else.

Personally I'd guess that they will be mostly used to help keep migrants from crossing the border. They've had problems close to PedWest where they are building a new wall and migrants have been using that breech as a spot to cross. Read last week they had 100 cross in a big rush. They even threatened to close PedWest down again if it couldn't be secured. They are also having problems with more migrants crossing in the eastern part of the city closer to Tecate.

Complete waste of taxpayer dollars and resources. Instead they could be using those resources to reinforce the border and prevent real crime from happening such as the death of Laken Riley. But instead they want to ruin these men's marriages and humiliate them. Shame on you Polk County!

Pretty much, ******* laws by ******* law makers.

Better to just leave, Mexico & overseas if it's in the cards for you.

Are there really that many USA Men going to Tijuana for the prostitution. That's why I go, but it seems that half the men in the club are NOT "Americans. " Lots of hispanics and Asians (maybe Asian-American). But 40-50 Americans a day in the Zone does not translate into a huge number of Americans going there. Maybe a few thousand a year?? There is plenty of pussy to be bought state side. The AMPS in most locales are pretty open for full service. The advantage to the Zone is the cost, and that's not as great as it used to be.

I would say there are a lot more than 50 Americans that cross but very few %age wise are zona frequenters. Most live there and work in the US, others are legit tourists, yet more are there for medication.

I'd say the chance that you meet non US residents in the zona is very rare. I used to see Chinese tourists that flew directly from China to Tijuana but those are long gone since the pandemic. Most mongers specially those who frequent that place are US residents.

When was the last time you were in Tijuana? I'm there almost every week when I'm not travelling and there is a lot of money there now. And its not all sex and drug money. Been going there for like 40 years. Its changed a lot in that time.

True. My first time was in the mid-80's. Tijuana was a dusty, dirty dump. Revu was nothing but bars catering to the Spring Break crowd and San Diego kids on weekends.

That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not a lot. Today there is a ton of money, much of it provided by the fabricas. There are Lincoln and BMW dealerships. Even the taxis, for the most part, aren't the jalopies of years ago. After the seriously dark days around 2008, Tijuana has reinvented itself. There's plenty to do, and the food and drink scene is incredible. If the Zona Norte bars all disappeared tomorrow, it would be just a blip on the economic radar.

[AmorPorFavor]

If prostitution was legal and regulated in the US such as it is in Australia or. New Zealand or even Germany for that matter then there wouldn't be any Americans mongering in Mexico.

The whole reason Tijuana even exists is so that Americans can go there to do things that are illegal in their home soil. During the 1930's during prohibition era many Americans went to Tijuana to drink. Nowadays Americans go to Tijuana for prostitution.

I highly doubt people are just going for the fucking tacos LOL.

Polk County, Florida is near Tampa and Orlando. There are prostitution sting operations regularly every few months and they always arrest over 100 guys!

Really no joke paying for woman in Florida is a bad idea because they try and ruin men. Just for having s3 x. Woman can have sex all day everyday. Birds dogs cats mice squirrels, they all have sex. Mem try and have sex and it's a problem. Their wives don't want it often and paying they put you on blast.
