Posts: 17Police and Taxis.
I read a very recent report on Hong Kong's Yelp that police are actually targeting taxis leaving the zona and shaking down the passengers. That level of corruption sounds pretty damn horrifying. I'm a bit concerned because I'm taking my first trip, staying at Ticuan, and planning on using taxis. Is this a common occurrence and what is the best way to handle such a sketchy situation?

Posts: 137Passport Card.
I used my passport card to cross back to the US by foot on Memorial Day. Some Mexican girl in line said if I had the card I could use the ready lane so I tried it. It worked and I was through customs in 10 minutes from arriving at PedWest.

My passport has been missing for more than a year. So for nearly a dozen recent trips I've gone with no passport, just a drivers license. The CBP doesn't seem to mind too much. They punch in my CDL number and it seems to informs the agent on their computer that I do have a current passport.
As for your second criticism.
I take the 5th.

Or they wish to live a healthier life on a low-calorie prison diet with opportunity for physical exercise, no alcohol, and an occasional sperm snack?

Posts: 138Shake down.
Was here for my second time Tuesday-Wednesday, had an awesome time, but found some trouble haha.
Don't have a passport so had to pay 20 $ bribe to cross on Tuesday. Wednesday morning I had just woken up, major hangover. Mucho tequila.
Didn't even get 50 feet away from Hong Kong before I got stopped. Forgot I had weed pen on me. They found it, told me either jail or take the 45 $ from my wallet and put it back in my pocket for them to take.
Sucks, overall, the trip was worth it, thankfully I only had a little bit of cash on me when I was stopped.

The Leyva family employees private guards to patrol their two hotels: Hacienda de Santiago and Hacienda de Posada (formerly known as Hotel Levya).
These private guards dress in all black uniforms. I've seen them often at those two hotels, but I have never seen them engage with anyone. Instead they appear to perform regular guard functions, like "observe and report" to the policia if actual police activities are needed (questioning, detainment or arrest).
Because of their uniforms, guests and residents of those two hotels often humorously refer to them as the "Men in Black".

Posts: 2537Fake police targeting drivers at San Ysidro border crossing. !!
It's quite possible that fake police will try and rob people in the streets as well. I have noticed that some private security officers wear uniforms that are identical to police uniforms. They wear patches that say Privada. Hopefully the Mexican police crack down on this before it gets to out of hand. We should all pay close attention to this. If anyone has any recent news please post and report it to tourist info line....?

On a side note this cop was getting out of control. The day before he had thrown an amigo against a wall and stole money from him. Many in the zona hated this guy. SG's were pissed as they would see this guy robbing tourists and felt like he was stealing money that should go to him. I also later found out the mesero who lent me his phone to report the crime was his godson. (Even he hated this guy) I had to borrow the phone because mine was not working to reach the Tijuana emergency number.

To Baxter Slade: Why would you be unaware that your singles were gone until you noticed later that they were missing from your pocket?
Maybe I am not understanding what you wrote. Didn't you say you saw the Policia handing out your money to other people?

Posts: 657Mexico's market for $10 fake cellphones.
Mexico's market for $10 fake cellphones bought by fearful locals who hand them over in muggings.
"Commuters are turning to a new tactic when tasked with being forced to hand over their cellphones to thieves aboard buses in Mexico City.
The clever residents are now buying fake smartphones as they seek to combat muggers who demand their real handheld devices.
Merchants are selling the 'dummies' that cost 180 to 800 pesos, approximately $10 to $40, in the historic city center.
Public transportation customers have found the fakes to come in handy when trying to fool trigger-happy bandits who regularly attack the buses, big and small, that ferry people from the poorer outlying suburbs to jobs. . . ".
