Lifesabeach,
A lot of people including myself have never been stopped, let alone frisked. So it's probably a coincidence rather than any special treatment. Confronted with an active search, I would have just stayed in the hotel and wait it out until they finish. And if spoken to, I would show them my hands and not try to leave. I just prefer to err on the cautious side because I don't know what "stop or I'll shoot" is in Spanish and the cop may be yelling that at me.
I was in LZ from around 8 PM on Friday night until 6 AM Tuesday morning. At my arrival I noticed an increased policia presence, military humvees and a lot of closed businesses.
Around a dozen LZ businesses were closed. I happened to be walking from HDS to the Leyva at around 9 PM on Friday when two Policia pick-up trucks and two Humvees arrived and performed a raid on Hotel Pepe.
Both policia and guys in Military garb entered. Most of the guys in light desert colored camouflage (Mexican Army) took positions on the sidewalk as two men in the business were placed on the floor and handcuffed.
Later that evening Hotel Pepe was closed, as were other businesses. The closed businesses had yellow-sticky signs sealing the doorways. Some of these sealing-signs were issued from some municipal 'office of inspection'. Other were closed with sealing-signs that claimed to be issued from a municipal 'office of finance'. Some closed businesses had their entrances sealed with two stickers, one from each of these two departments.
Among the businesses I saw closed all weekend were (on constitution) the Acapulco hotel, another business near hotel Monitos, another business close to bar Zap.
On Primera I saw a couple of businesses closed, including the blue & white hotel (Grande cuartos, chico cuartos). Other businesses on Nino Heroes and many on Coahuila Ave. Were closed, including the Karoke Bar.
Surprisingly, the only closed business that I saw reopened was Hotel Pepe (it reopened on Saturday, the next day). Street girls told my quasi wingman that a lot of businesses were closed because they had illegal gambling machines on the premises.
I had no trouble finding my walkers and street girls this entire trip. They seemed unaffected by the crackdown as the policia seemed more concerned with businesses and young Mexican men in LZ.
This is likely the reason for La Zona's massive raid on Friday April 22.
I saw Policias haul away lots of people, properly only a few low-level dealers, no capos.
They probably pocketed a few good chunks of unclaimed cash and copped lots of feels of the poor bar chicas. Hehehe.

San Diego (KABC) -- More than a ton of cocaine and seven tons of marijuana was seized and six people were arrested after federal authorities discovered a nearly half-mile long drug tunnel connecting Mexico and San Diego, the USA Attorney's office said on Wednesday.
The tunnel was estimated to be more than 800 yards in length. That's more than eight football fields.
The tunnel's passageway is shown. (United States Department of Justice).
It connected a house in Tijuana to an outdoor fenced-in commercial lot in an Otay Mesa industrial park, about 500 yards north of the international border, officials said. The opening on the USA Side is a 3-feet-wide hole that authorities said was once covered by a large industrial dumpster.
The tunnel was equipped with rail and ventilation systems, lights and even a large, commercial elevator that led from the tunnel into a closet inside the Tijuana home.
In total, authorities seized 2,242 pounds of cocaine and more than 14,000 pounds of marijuana.
The six people arrested in San Diego on Friday were charged with crimes involving drugs and construction of the tunnel.
The suspects were identified as Martiniano Garcia-Sedano, Cruz Armando Parra Corrales, Alejandro Bravo, Juan Carlos Chavez Fabian, Alejandro Gomez-Baez and Osmel Martinez.
The USA Attorney's office said the Otay Mesa tunnel is the 13th large-scale operational drug smuggling tunnel discovered along the California border since 2006.
In the last five years, federal authorities have detected more than 75 cross-border smuggling tunnels, most of them in California and Arizona.
The San Diego-Tijuana region is popular because its clay-like soil is relatively easy to dig with shovels and pneumatic tools, and both sides of the border have warehouses that provide cover for trucks and heavy equipment.[/quote]
I was in Tijuana a few weeks ago, but I didn't see anything unusual happen in the 5 nights I was there. Except for maybe the ladyboys near the big arch.
But when I was there in late 2014 they closed Ave Revolucion and had concerts, and shows, and many vendors, and I seen a car show with some very expensive cars. Cars such as Lamborghinis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, high-end Mercedes, lot of Porches, etc. The majority of the car owners were Asian guys.
With some taxi drivers I talked about HK bar, and we ended up talking about the HK bar has so many Asian guys. I don't want to say exactly what I was told the Asian guys do, but two different taxi drivers, and a lady in HK said the Asian guys do some "special business".
I'm half Asian myself. So I was sitting in HK bar back then and a Korean guy, that I later realized was at the car show, came to the bar and said I look Asian. In a friendly manor he said he never seen me before and asked why I came to Tijuana. He slowly worked other questions such as where I'm from and what I do for work. Then he says I seem like a nice guy and starts to leave. And I said you seem like a nice guy too. Then he stopped and said "no, I'm a thug ha-ha". I asked him earlier if the other Asian guys were Korean, and he said he was the only one. He said most of the other Asian guys are Chinese. He ended up coming to talk to me again about 20 minutes later, but it seems like we talked about the same stuff.
When I was there 3 weeks ago I didn't see him there, and nobody was asking me questions. Maybe this is a small part of these police raids. But obviously, many, or maybe most of the Asian guys in Tijuana are probably just having fun like everyone else.
For some reasons, Mexicans show obvious affinity for Asians, even those cruising La Zona with a brick in his hand. Hehehe.
Quite a few HK chicas have quasi BF relationships with Asian guys outside the bars, ie. Sex, food and fun for free with some of the best-looking young babes. There are a few Asian Mexican couple living in Tijuana with children. They form a special ethnic group and hang out together. Some of those ex bar girls are young, pretty, sweet-looking girls.
During the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, Mayweather was obviously a much better boxer and was obviously winning, scoring lots of heavy blows, but the whole HK club, including Mexican guys, managers, meseros, janitors, just about all chicas, including the 2 butt-naked chicas in the middle of their lesbian show, were rooting for Pacquiao, swearing at Mayweather.
HK even let huge Chinese tour groups walk through the club looking at girls and guys like animals in the zoo.
I find it interesting but cannot explain Mexicans' preference for Asians.
Is Jackie confirming Asians are also preferred by Tijuana policia's beefy closet homos?

Here is where I park in Otay Mesa. As you can see how close it is to the SY crossing. Coming back this passed weekend it was a bit busy crossing back, but it still only took 45 minutes at 12 noon.

Personally I think that the Chicas see Asians men as less macho and skinnier versions of Mexican men, but with a steady job and similar family culture (the rate of unemployment for Mexican males in their 20's is pretty high in Mexico).
[QUOTE=Dickhead;1872310]Yeah, but is that because Pacquiao is Asian or because Mayweather is black?[/QUOTE]It's because Mayweather is considered to be an arrogant prick by many and is always cast as the villain. I happen to be a big boxing fan and know Mayweather comes from a fighting family. His father Floyd senior and his uncles Roger and Jeff were all world-class fighters with uncles Roger and Jeff having captured world titles themselves. Interestingly enough, one of the nicknames Roger Mayweather picked up was "the Mexican assassin" due to his many victories over Mexican fighters. So, this could be another reason why Floyd junior got booed. In addition to being an asshole that is LOL! I'm sure many Mexicans recall how his uncle Roger used to beat down Mexican fighters and resent it LOL! The one he didn't beat down was Julio Caesar Chavez, perhaps the greatest Mexican fighter of all time, and surely one of the most beloved. Kicked Roger Mayweather's ass! What's funny is that at the height of his boxing success, Roger Mayweather would enter the ring as "the Mexican assassin" wearing a big sombrero. Then for a while when he too started to enjoy success and was destroying Mexican boxers, his nephew Floyd junior started doing it as well LOL!

I have seen that in another bar I was in too. Pacquiao looks a bit Mexican plus Mexicans like majority of the world are racists too. They are racists against Blacks but the WGs will readily accept their money. The Asians in SEA spend so much money on drugs / herbs to look whiter.

Note that many girls that advertise, offer anal to Asians only. Why? Small dicks. A bad thing, no, a fact, yes.
Girls living near the hot and sunny equator, like in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand ect. Have their natural dark skin.
I was in Vietnam 2 months ago, the girls working in massage and BJ barber shops all put ointment on their skin, making them look unnaturally pale, almost like Caucasian, WTF? Obviously pale skin is preferred on females in Vietnam.
The pale girls in Vietnam look unnatural and sick. The ointment that eats away their skin pigment will eventually cause skin lesions and cancer.
There is a lot of prejudice against the people with dark skin in the world, including Mexico. In the US, black people have made lots of progresses and gotten successes in sports, entertainment, military and law enforcement.
