My friend and I went to TJ today, drove 5hrs to get some seldane for my wifes allergies (they no longer have it here in America). We are both 6ft 2in around 230. White, looked conservative, like normal guys.
Within 150 yards of walking to Ave Revolution, we were stopped on foot by 2 police at the bridge. They asked for ID and searched us. Asked if we had knives, pills, weapons. We said no and proceeded. After another 50 yards, were approached by 5 police in a van. Again another search. ID's asked, same questions. We were calm, but I've been there 100 times over the last 20 yrs with nothing like this ever happening.
We ate, and were skeptical on going into a pharmacy and decided to get back to the USA. Again, we were searched at the bottom of the bridge. ID, Knives same questions. Heard these guys on their radio's following us and after another 100 yards, searched again, same questions, all these cops were different, but were being tracked by radio. We never do anything there illigal, but I know some getbiggers go there for other stuff, and I'm lookin out for all my buddies backs here.
If we would have had a vitamin or caffeine pill on us, I wouldn't be here to post this. If we would have mouthed off, we would be done.
The army of Mexico, took all the cops guns for ballistic testing because of all the murders and drug lords, and are singling out white males mostly to search, and possibly bust for something.
Until it calms down there, avoid TJ... Watch the news and travel advisories. This city looks like a communist block country now.
If you do go in a couple weeks, please report how it is coming along.
Really, do not go there, and if you do, have ID, be cool to the cops and comply. I had $200 and my buddy as well, and they actually didn't take it (a freakin world record for that place).
And finally, Dog, I fully stand behind you not going back there. I pray that our government has you're back, if not, let me know how I can help.

theres another border TECATE 20 min away fro tj. Its a very civilized calm city and the police care about crime not tourists. NEVER GO TO TJ EVER EVER EVER.... consider yourself lucky
-
I have a friend in Rocky Point that I haven't heard back from today. I hope they aren't in trouble.
-
Pardon me if this sounds like a naive question, I've not been to TJ, but what possible motivation would the police have for hassling American tourists? Isn't the city's economy pretty much build on Americans coming there to buy things and do things that they aren't allowed to at home? Why would they want to fucck that up?
-
Also avoid Red Lobster restaurants. The seafood isn't that fresh.
-
I'm an Ensenada man myself... Farmacia del Sol ;D. I gave those boys a lot of business over the years.
Thanks for the info & update. Good stuff.

they're moonlighting. trying to shake you down for some cash. they'll threaten to take you in, say you won't be able to see a judge until monday. stay calm. don't show any concern. when they realize they're not going to get any money from you, they'll move on.

Bad experience?

I've traveled a fair bit, but I'm still a timid traveler. Why would you go somewhere you don't feel 100% safe? If you go to Mexico, then you're IN Mexico - and Mexico is dangerous. Crossing a border with contraband is insane. Let some other sap bring shit across a border. The world is full of idiots who will take outrageous risks for minimal profit.

I'll check that out. Do you have any more info not just for me, but all on get big regarding that town. Is it walkable from the US. Meaning, can you walk across safely to the town.
-

If you don't hear back, you may have to call the America Embassy to check on them.

Weird that you should post this, as I just got a warning call from my buddy yesterday about something similar.
He and his wife just got back from down there and the police are apparently targeting all Americans for shakedowns, not just White males. In his particular scam, a motorcycle cop pulls you over as you're nearing the border, gets you to pull down a street and then blocks off the street for his 'activity'. The cop told them he'd pulled them over for speeding and said they'd have to go see the judge in a few hours. Having a plane to catch in SD, they didn't have time to do that, so the cop said they could 'handle' it there...BUT, no one was to see them handing cash directly to him.
It cost them $50, but they got out safely in about 10 minutes or so.
Unreal.

Tijuana has been doing the same thing for 25+ years. I used to go down and pickup stuff allot. At that time the pharmacists and the Border Patrol were working together to bust people. Once you bought something, as you went to your car someone from the pharmacy would follow you to your car and getg a description and license plate number. When you got to the border ans was checked your plate and description would be on the computer. They would also try to see where you hid the stuff. There were plenty of times I was sweating at the border. Of course you alwasy had tobuy your tequilla and bring it back. Allot fo people went there cause it was so cheap. We always bought some baskets and other stuff too. The important thing is DO NOT try to cross without buying something that they can see. Tell them your reason to go to Tijuana was to buy birthday presents. And show them what you bought.
We had some great hiding places. I went to the same pharmacy everyttime and became friends with him. He later gave me his brother name and business in Inglewood. He was also a pharmacist and I was able to go there and pick up stuff. We would spend about $1,000 a visit so we bought allot. Hey preloaded Primo was $.60 each and we could sell them for over $4 each and to some we even got $6

ya its totally walkable it has alot of live music and great food. The border is way chill. Key is stay out of tj, those guys arnt even police. TECATE is a extemely calm city with all the pharmacias you need. No hookers, or nightclubs there, its a very normal place

Mexico haha Don't feed their economy..

Yes their economy is built on U.S dollars. Looks like the national army is crackin down on the cops to actually do their job for once, except they really don't know how (all the cops seem like L.A 18th st gangbangers). Its the same there as everywhere. Blame the Americans, we are poor because of Americans, we are having babies with no money because of the USA. When in actuality, we are really the ones feeding them.

Heading to EP to see some family and staying around for a week or so. Looking to picking up some Gear from J-town. Haven't been there in years so I'ld like to see how things are. In J=town I take Santa Fe street and use to go into the Downtown area for Gear and to a couple of Nite clubs and stop time to Panama club.
Post on what I find out on what J-town is like now.

Adalita's is nice to enjoy with the family while your in TJ.

So you also dealt drugs?

Thats what I was thinking. Whatever project he has going on right now can not be too legitimate or he would have never admitted to that.

Wow...you mean to tell me that Mexico is corrupt?...No SH-T Sherlock! Another Warning: Dont play in traffic or swim immediately after you eat or buy illegal substances in sh-tholes to carry across borders.

lmao!!!

For a while San Diego-based bodybuilders would pop down to TJ once or twice a week, buy enough of a long-acting test for one injection, injet on-site, then come back across without ever having to smuggle an illegal substance. Does that still go on, or have things changed in TJ that much?
-
Mexico haha Don't feed their economy..
Mexico is the crapper of america

Mexico is the crapper of america
Actually, the larger cities further south in the interior are reasonably nice. It's primarily the border towns and cities that are shitholes. They're like the "wild west" of Mexico where the criminals and the disenfranchised of Mexican society have free reign.

It's not a thing about calming down. Anything goes and anything can happen to anyone white or not. It's never going to get better. I've been living in San Diego for ten years. I have been to TJ once and will NEVER go again - and I'm Mexican! i've never felt less safe in my life than when in TJ.
-
Wow, can you guys say exaggeration. Tijuana cannot compare to the real nice cities of the interior of Mexico that's definitely true. I stay away from downtown in general and stick to the Rio Zone.

Ha...different story in Canada. I think EVERYONE knows not to step anywhere in Mexico...after all that bullshit, I'm pretty damn sure most Canadians would rather vacation in Sudbury than Mexico! HAHAHAHA

230 at 6'2"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my God you're a monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha, owned while trying to be helpful..how humiliating.

I was stationed down in San Diego and made a few trips down to TJ. I had one buddy that got robbed at gun point on a side street of the revolution street clubbing area. Had another buddy that got jumped by some bald headed gang bangers for being white!!! Total Anarchy down there.

how come every year when it starts getting close to the olympia somebody starts this very same thread.

Canadians in general are conservative and flock to Miami like lemmings. It's not that they're savvy about Mexico in particular.

BUYING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION IN ONE COUNTRY NOT AVAILABLE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY TO TRANSPORT TO THAT COUNTRY IS ILLEGAL

MAYBE BECAUSE WHITE MALES ALWAYS GO TO MEXICO FOR NEFARIOUS REASONS
