Streetwalker Reports

[Streetlooker]

I can say I never have had a fat ugly girl with a good heart so I guess I would not like TJ all that much . I hope like hell I NEVER find myself in the arms of one either.

[TJnightwalker]

I've been living in TJ for almost 20 (twenty) years. Besides a wrong turn ticket and a small car accident, I cannot recall more problems.

TJ is like a fat and ugly woman... but with a lovely and sincere heart. You just cannot forget her and will return to her arms soon.

Many times a beautiful and perfect chick (call it city or country) can be a horrible nightmare.

You will have problems in TJ if you look for it. I am sure about it. Just walk on the sidewalk and will be safe.

Hi everyone. Im in San Diego on business in the next 2 weeks with alot of free time. I am hoping for some pointers as to what to do. Ill be driving to parking lot right before the border and then taking a cab str8 to Adelitas. After sampling the fun there, I was wondering where is this famous "Alley"? Do I exit out of the front of Adelitas and be on the "Alley"? or do i have to go through a back entrance? Im looking for an allnighter with a SG. Any tips? Where to find a young, thin SG and then where to go? I am filipino american FYI. Any advice would be appreciated. I will report back with all the fun.

[Roguesta]

Just behave, and use common sense, and you should be all right. I've lived in TJ for almost two years, and I haven't had any problems.

Filming in the ZONA: What the fuck, you think you are gonna stand on your legal rights and ask for the ACLU if you get caught taking pix? This has nothing to do with what law is written on the books, most TJ cops have never SEEN a lawbook, and couldn't care less. Hell, half the JUDGES in Baja have never seen a lawbook, they just make it up as they go along.

The only reason we are relatively safe in the ZONA is because the cops and the TJ Mafia make money in the ZONA, and they generally do not want to fuck up a good thing. In Mexico you have no "legal rights". If you annoy the cops, they will just beat the shit out of you, take your camera and your money and, if you are lucky, drop you back on the street. TJ cops are not required to wear name tags, good luck complaining. Everyone in TJ including the mayor, will think you are just a stupid gringo who got what he deserved.

Cause enough trouble and they will take you out of town and shoot you or slip a little cocaine or a bullet in your pocket and then you get a free, well-deserved, year-long ass-fucking. You think you are safe because you are a Gringo???? Wake up and smell the cafe. ROFL Gringos disappear without a trace from TJ all the time. Even the cops themselves are not safe, even judges and federal prosecutors are not safe in TJ:

Police Beheadings Reflect Drug War
The Los Angeles Times

Tijuana, Mexico - The caller painted an ominous scene: A convoy of 40 vehicles filled with 70 heavily armed and masked men, witnesses said, was prowling the streets of Rosarito Beach. Three police officers responded to the quiet neighborhood and were quickly abducted. A day later, their mutilated bodies turned up in an empty lot.


Nearly two dozen heavily armed gunmen in April tried to assassinate Baja California's top-ranking public safety official in a wild shootout on a Mexicali street. The attackers launched grenades and fired more than 600 rounds, wounding three bodyguards.

Over the past year, commando-style raids have been regular occurrences in Tijuana, with convoys of masked gunmen snatching victims from restaurants and street corners in brazen daylight raids.

Cartels also are using increasingly brutal methods to intimidate their enemies. The Rosarito Beach beheadings followed the decapitation in April of a police commander in Acapulco, whose head was found in a public plaza.

In Baja California, the crime wave could signal an escalation of the fierce war to control the lucrative Tijuana smuggling corridor, which has been traditionally controlled by the Arellano-Felix Cartel. Several top-ranking members of the cartel have been killed or arrested in recent years, and other cartels may be sensing weakness, say experts.

Some recent attacks were shocking for their audacity, say experts. Last month, three men armed with AK-47s stormed into an office of the Mexican Federal Attorney's office in Tijuana and shot two agents, killing one. In December, assailants attacked the Tijuana home of a state police commander, killing two of his bodyguards. In October, Tijuana's chief of homicides narrowly escaped an attack by assailants who fired more than 50 bullets at his car.

"It's a more aggressive form of violence, with new ingredients," said Victor Clark, a border expert and director of Tijuana's Binational Center for Human Rights.

I should reiterate that I mean you should not need permission to tape something in a public place. Now you can put up a sign stateing that taping in this area is punishiable by a fine or something then thats ok to do also But without the sign of warning Its fair game IMO.

[SDcruiser]

Very illegal. Get caught. Your fucked. That is why the videos you see on the web are hidden in a bag. I personally do not like them. I think they draw too much attention on the dirty little secret.

[Roguesta]

Don't let the police see you filming girls in the Zone. Even if they see you taking pictures with your cellphone, you'll get stopped. And, if you happen to have any nude photos in your possession, you'll be in a lot of trouble.

[Crash Helmet]

I really don't feel anyone needs permmission to tape something.

I'm not singling you out here, Streetlooker, so don't take this personally as other people here feel the same way you do.

But one bottom line to this whole deal just might be this: It's the law that dictates wether or not filming putas or Red Light District action is permissible, and not what we happen to think about it.

And what does Mexican law say about filming people on public property, anyway? In the U.S. it's okay to film anyone without their permission on public property, just as long as you aren't going to profit from their image.

I am very curious as to what the Mexican law says about this subject because I have a camera and I like shooting stuff whenever and wherever I feel like it. Does anyone here know?

[Streetlooker]

I really see no problem with these videos there in a public place. As long as there not used for commercial purposes I really don't feel anyone needs permmission to tape something. I pretty sure most of the girls on here that have nude pics takin of them would rather NOT have them displayed for all of us to see IF given the choice.

[Ninguno Especial]

I know if I seen myself on that tape I would flip the fk out and try to take major legal action.

IMO if anyone has a problem being seen or video taped in ZN they should most likely not be there as it can and does happen. In fact you are video taped everytime you enter a 7-11, hotel or wheverever here in the good ole US of A.

Only way to avoid it is stay home. LOL

[Ninguno Especial]

I have never taken pictures or videos of anyone without their permission.

Admirable trait but the pros give up their privacy once they hang their shingle (or cleavage) on the street.

Did Adelitas management ask if it's OK to video tape you? Ever notice the camcorder in the men's room up in the corner? They have others as well including the entrance outside.

There is no privacy anywhere these does and nobody is asking for permission.

[Calicoolguy]

I am a bit conflicted about those tapes also, I was thinking the same thing about permission not being asked and I know if I seen myself on that tape I would flip the fk out and try to take major legal action. Than on the other hand I do enjoy seeing what the streets of TJ are like, so like I said am conflicted but I think I agree with munch lunch more.

And as far as paying $100 for a street girl, damn you should have read these boards before you went cause that is ridiculous.

[Munch Lunch]

I appreciate that fact that you were trying to help all of us forum members by filming and posting the videos. It seems like a cool idea. However, having lived and worked in Latin America, including Mexico, for 25 years I can tell you taking these videos is surely offensive to the majority of the girls and other strangers in the videos. There are two reasons: 1) many Latin Americans believe that you capture part of their soul with a camera or video, and 2) all these working girls have family and friends somewhere, most likely in another part of the country. They would not like knowing what they do for a living. While there are not likely many Mexicans using this board, and the girls identities will not likely be found out "back home", the girls are embarassed and shamed.

I have never taken pictures or videos of anyone without their permission. It would not be consistent with with their wishes, culture or belief system. These girls are just trying to make a living; most likely to support their children or loved ones. I belive you should take down the videos or go ask the girls if it is OK to post them.

My guess is that you have never lived in Latin America, don't speak much Spanish, nor know much about that culture. If you did, you would just sit down and cry about what you have done. Even though these are SW's they have their pride, dignity, and even modesty. Have the decency to maintain what little they have.

Well, enough said. I fully expect to get completly "flammed" on this forum. But there is something to be said for being a gentleman and a monger.

Just had an awesome time with a SW in the alley in TJ... . I offered her $100 which she was happy to accept with no negotiating. Since I usually pay upwards of $250-300 for an escort in the states, this was a great deal.

The typical street girls regular price is $20 + around $6 for the room. What would make 5x that cost a great deal?
