Security risks are medium low in the day time in most parts of Tijuana.
I should say, security risks are medium low in the day time in most parts of Tijuana.. Don't walk alone into dark alleys where cholos, vagrants, drug addicts and dealers hang out. They would be tempted to make easy victims out of you.
As in any city in the world, if you are dumb enough to put yourself into high-risk situations without means to defend yourself, poor, hungry and resentful people will be tempted to make their moves against you.
La Zona in Tijuana is definitely much safer and tamer than all parts of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paolo, Foz du Iquacu, Recife and most parts of Brazil. Even during daytime in ritzy and busy Rio neighborhoods like Copacabana Beach, Ipanema, Centro, Tujunga ect. If you walk across a bunch of cholos, they are likely to put knives on your throat and rob you clean.
With large number of armed cop patrols on foot, motos and trucks day and night, La Zona is definitely safer than most cities in North, Central and South America. Downtown and South Central LOS Angeles have far more armed and violent criminals with much fewer real cops than Tijuana. If you know how to survive and get what you want those urban areas, then you should have no big problems in Tijuana.

LOL. Thanks for the humor
[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;1984080]If you are not a retard, staggering drunk on the streets, falling down drunk in front of rateros, you will be fine in La Zona. OK, no disrespect intended for our Navy Crotch Diver Travv, hehehe.
You will love La Zona where anything goes in all the bars and even on the streets 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
Uniquely in Hong Kong, you can flirt with the pretty chicas, tip or buy fichas for any girl and proceed to kiss, lick, suck, inhale, squeeze, grab, grope them anywhere they let you. The fichas are not just for meaningful conversations with the sexy chicas. Most would dry hump you in the bar to get you horny so they can sell sex and take you upstairs to make the big money.
Familiar street girls would let you kiss lips, squeeze boobs and grope crotches on the street. Just don't do it near policias, as there are laws against public drunkenness and lewdness in the book, and they can charge you. Inside the bars are private places, so even if the policias are present, groping is legal and normal.[/QUOTE]Will def check it out, I will stop noon - 6 pmish hopefully I can take public transportation from San Diego downtown to the border and cab from the border and be back to to San Diego before night.
Thanks again for the info.
