A couple of years ago I read where the police were renting out their uniforms to bring in a few extra bucks, and not caring too much about who the renters were.
It looks like they cut out the middleman.
Thanks for the update! That may well have been this case.

I hope that no one thinks that this is an unusual event. Maybe we don’t hear about it so much since the Mexican authorities allowed all those American style resorts and condos to be built in Baja, but this used to be an every day experience for tourists who strayed off the beaten path in Baja.
It’s really a shame because Mexico has some beautiful coasts, wonderful beaches, and world-class waves for surfing. I haven’t been back in over five years.
Detroiters got to Toledo on vacation........
“Michoacan”
I remember that name from a Cheech & Chong album. There’s a variety of weed named after it. Somewhere between Acapulco Gold and Toledo Windowbox in quality.
Ditto.
I have been to Mexico. Once. Only for a day trip just over the border. And that once was enough.
It's beyond me why anyone would want to 'vacation' in Mexico.
Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten”....
wasn’t there a movie that had that as its subtitle?
I stopped going down there almost 15 years ago.
It’s a third-world country that views gringos as prey.
The old days of going down there and getting ‘drunk and disorderly’ have long been over.
There’s lots of places to go right here in the ‘good old US of A’ that don’t have the risk associated with a night out in Messico.
Screw that sh!thole place.
I came across a letter from a deceased relative who traveled to Mexico in 1941. He made it sound like a beautiful country. Maybe it was a little safer at that time.
Go to Viet Nam and stay out of Sai Gon. Hundreds and hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches. They love Americans and the worst sex situations you will run into are the mamas trying to talk you into marrying their daughters.
So sad. My favorite restaraunt in the world is La Mansion in Reynose. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
reminds me of a song from the 60’s from Jay And The Americanos “and I heard someone say” “Jose’s on his way” “your in trouble Plenty”
Baja is so beautiful. Desert meeting the ocean. I’d love to drive all the way to Cabo if it was safe. I wish it was part of the USA. Wish we could swap the Bay area and LA for Baja.
It was a similar one. I read about another person from Texas who was caught with ammo in his vehicle in Mexico, and was waiting on the outcome of this case. Could be your guy!
Surfer’s Baja tale is warning to others”
A lot of people got the warning two years ago.
There's no need to go, especially when half of Mexico is already here!

Ping—Hey Guenevere—check this out. Very similar to what happened to your neighbor’s son and his girlfriend.
