Crime, Safety, and the Police

For anyone that tempted to pull out their iPhone and make a video of the zona norte they can upload to the internet. Just remember that drug dealers are constantly selling stuff on the street. And that they are camera shy. And that they are not the type of people that fear you. And if you accidentally film them during a drug deal, they are going to be an unhappy camper. The murder below happened in Puerto Rico. But I suspect that drug dealers are camera shy wherever.

Thanks for the good advice. A good point. One time, my wingman decided to pull out his brand new Iphone and started taking some video clips. That made me nervous and annoyed to say the least.

You cannot place calls with GV in Mexico however.

Of course you can, Hargow. Been doing it for years. You can place or receive a call from GV anywhere on the planet that you can get a good WIFI signal. If you want to place a call to a Mexican number, there's a very modest charge, but yes, with GV you can call anywhere from anywhere.

You send & receive texts using GV in Mexico. You can also receive calls as well. You cannot place calls with GV in Mexico however.

Get google voice. It's free and works anywhere on the planet that there's a WIFI signal.

Get Google voice. There is no ring distinction with google voice anywhere in the world and it works great as long as you have a reliable signal.

That wasn't part of the question. The question concerned hacking into a cell phone to disable international ring. Which isn't part of the cell phone, it's part of the PSTN, or at least the PSTN in the destination country.

It will also be a bit weird to give everybody who currently has you cell number a different number. No, don't call me on my cell anymore, call this number instead. That'll work fine until somebody goofs up and calls your cell directly. Then the game is up.

Does anyone know how to hack your a phone so that people who call me not know I am in Mexico? Apparently my iphone gives a distinct ring to my caller while I am in Mexico.

All cell phones do. Regardless of the foreign country. Some have said purchasing a ring-back tone will mask it. Are those still a thing?

Corporation requires a minimum of two owners, pays commercial utility rates, and has to file monthly tax forms. Fideicomiso is probably a better option for most people. I'll concede that transferring the corporation might be easier than the cost of transfer through a notary (and maybe too easy) but a buyer may not want the hassle of maintaining a corporation.

First of all, what was published is not exactly what I wrote but anyhow, WRT your remarks: they can always sell it back to themselves or the corporation can sell it to them if that's the route they want to go. Investment RE is always better held in a corporation in the US or Mexico. As for utilities, most people never even transfer utilities into their names anyhow. The utility companies couldn't care less as long as the bill gets paid.

Calif. Woman dead, 2 hospitalized after getting plastic surgery from same Tijuana doctor.

Medical tourism generates more than a billion in annual revenue.

A heartbroken California woman wants answers after her daughter died on the operating table while undergoing cosmetic surgery in Mexico.

Keuana Weaver, a 38-year-old mother of two from Long Beach, reportedly told her family that she was traveling to Florida to have some "work done. " By the time her mother learned that Weaver had actually gone to Mexico, it was too late. After undergoing surgery in Tijuana in January, which reportedly included a $6700 liposuction procedure, Weaver died and two other women were hospitalized after their surgeries were performed on the same day by the same doctor, people reports.

Weaver's mother Renee, 58, said she is "heartbroken" over her daughter's sudden death. . . Renee was told that Weaver's cause of death was "secondary hypoxic encephalopathy," due to a lack of oxygen. According to the Daily Mail, Baez is not a member of an organization of plastic surgeons called Asociacion Mexicana de Cirugia Plastica, Estetica why Reconstructiva. Mexico state law stipulates that only certified plastic surgeons are permitted to perform certain cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction and tummy tucks. In 2015, Baez's clinic was reportedly shut down for "failing to meet the minimum requirements to operate legally."

Might want to avoid political rallies or marches to avoid the risk of machine gun attacks by cartels.

You might also wish to avoid them because it is illegal for a non-citizen to participate. (And I might add, illegal immigration to Mexico is a felony.).

Violence erupts as Mexico's deadly gangs aim to cement power in largest ever elections.

. . Violent clashes between rival Mexican criminal groups – and their alleged allies in the security forces – are escalating ahead of mid-term elections in June, triggering a string of political assassinations and the forced displacement of thousands.

State and federal security forces have actively colluded with – and even fought alongside – the warring factions, according to local civilians, civil society activists and gunmen from various factions.

But as well as engaging in pitched gun battles, criminal factions are also confronting each other on the electoral field.

"All the criminal groups are trying to make gains right now," said a Michoacán political consultant with first-hand knowledge of how arrangements are brokered between organized crime and political candidates.

With more than 21,000 posts in local, state and national government up for election – including 15 state governorships – the 6 June polls are the largest in Mexico's history, and criminal groups see the elections as an opportunity to further their interests. . . The violence has forced more than a thousand people to flee the area, feeding the flow of migrants heading to the US to seek asylum, and adding to the current uptick of arrivals at the border that the Biden administration is struggling to manage.

. . But its decade-long attempt to take over the region has so far been frustrated by the local opponents' deep political and social roots. With neither side able to impose its designs on the other or willing to back down, more than 15,500 homicides have been recorded here from January 2011 to February this year.

The fighting goes hand-in-hand with the struggle for political power. Since campaign season officially began on 7 September last year, 69 politicians, including 22 candidates, have been assassinated across the country. . ."

Yep, mine does the same. I have started texting more when I am in Mexico for this reason. You can call forward your calls to Skype or Google number, but that is a pain in the ass.

There are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of Americans who own beach property in Mexico. You just put it in either a fideicomisu or a Mexican corporation, which owns the property and leases it back to you if you intend to live there. I prefer the latter as I think you're better protected within the corporate veil and it's easy to transfer as you simply sell the corporation or you can easily pass it down to your heirs. Make sure you have a clear title and a title policy. Hire a lawyer to tidy up the loose ends.
