My Observations re Policias
I was taken aside by a squad of quasi-paramilitary cops riding in the back of a pickup recently. It was a very busy night for foot-traffic & one of them began walking alongside me & speaking to me & 3-4 more followed suit...I got the impression that their m.o. was to:
1. ask for my ID,
2. ask if I had been drinking,
2. ask if I had drugs on me,
3. to search my pockets
My ID was concealed on my person & so, I had to reveal that I had at least that much on my person than was not in my pockets. You might have thought that would've triggered a more intense search, but it didn't...They were curious WHY I had concealed my ID & also curious re the small amount of Spanish that I was able to speak, but they seemed satisfied with my explanations of concerns re muggers & that I had learned Spanish in "escuela" in a particular nearby U.S. state. They did not seem at all curious re the fact that one of the few items in my pockets was a condom.
One thing to consider is perhaps that you shouldn't carry any more cash IN YOUR POCKETS than you care to lose to the occasional dishonest cop or to a pickpocket or mugger--I did not notice any cash missing, but I purposefully didn't have much cash in my pockets to begin with...
I was not carrying contraband, nor was I drunk, high, nor even rude & was allowed to go on my way after a few minutes. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, they DID seem fairly sensitive re their rep as thiefs & the one who was the most aggressive & sarcastic seemed to make a point to gladhand me as I was walking away.
For me, I was much more disturbed by my treatment coming back over recently by a particular U.S. border officer who didn't like the looks of my ID & did a computer search on me in a breathless huddle with another officer.
Cowboys-Packers THURSDAY Night & satellite-only WTF?
So, the game tomorrow night is apparently only gonna be broadcast on satellite. Anybody got any suggestions on where to catch it--what are the best EP or CJ strip clubs for sports viewing?.-or the Juarez sports book?.-anything else?
Best border town for providers?
[QUOTE=Bbond]Might also consider other border cities, like Nuevo Laredo or Acuña.
Both are much better than Juarez. But a first time visitor may need some guidance or direction, but I have been to all of them, Juarez is a last choice for me. Just a FYI, my first monger trip to Juarez was back in 1972, my first visit was 1968.[/QUOTE]
How would you guys rank border towns in regards to providers?
I only have experience with J-town.
Like most of us I LUV petite young latin women who'll give me a GFE.
