ATM MACHINES:
This is to inform you that users of ATM Machines in case of any claim
regarding their cards (of any other bank but BANCOMER) have to report it to
their bank. Example: If you have a card from a bank from the United States
and you go to a Bancomer ATM Machine and the card is retained by the
machine, no person from Bancomer is able to return that card, because of
international policy of ATM net and for your own security.

Another example: If you go to the United States and use your Visa Bancomer
> Card in any bank there, and it is retained or it does not work, you will
> call your Bancomer officer to obtain a new card or check the movements in
> your account. An officer from the ATM bank in the US will not be able to
> assist you, because is a card from Mexico.
>
> If you are a client of the Preferred Customers Service at Bancomer, you will
> have our full service 24/7. Please consider this advice if you are a user
> of an international ATM card.
>
> Should you need further information, please come by the bank.

===========================================

My FM2 expired July of 2009 and I immediately applied for immigrado status. It took TEN months for the whole process to be completed.
The advantage of having this document is that you do NOT have to renew each year as you do having either an FM3 or FM2. In order
to maintain your FM2, you CANNOT be out of Mexico more than 18 months in a five year period. With my document they questioned some of the dates when
I was out of the country. We just told them that THEY stamped the booklet and it was their responsibility. I eventually got it.
What this means with the new process will be determined in a few weeks when a friend will take the booklet (all filled up) to the immigration
office and see if they will then issue just a card....any questions contact me at <stanbaja@yahoo.com

If you are hit up in Constitucion, get the patrollman's number or vehicle #, & date & hour. Phone direct to Sr. Villalejos, Sub-director de Policia, at 613-100-1910.
This went into effect 12 days ago.

well, they're back. that didn't last long...

in the past week, four drivers from our little community of Pto Escondido/El Juncalito on four separate trips were stopped a total of five times (one twice, going to La Paz and returning) in Constitucion and shaken down for traffic 'violations.' on several occasions the police did not have identifying badges, on all but one of them the 'tickets' were either not written/given or written on clipped together blank pieces of paper. all individuals and witnesses in their cars, when there were some, say that they did nothing wrong. and stopped at every street corner. several refused to pay, the others paid a variety of fines/mordida directly to the policeman. all were told that it would be easier to pay the officer than come back the next day. none were aware of any recourse to the situation. (but are now, after a discussion on the local VHF net).

be aware. the cops are back in force stopping gringos. cuidado. decline to pay, agree to go to the police station AT THE TIME of the stop, ask for badge numbers/names and take photos if you can do it discretely. I assume you can still call the sub-delgado's number. print it out and carry it in your car.
any other suggestions from the Constitucion folks?

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a. I want to add some info regarding my road report to California.in the
Pony Express on Tuesday May11. The crossing is OTAY MESA, about 10
miles east of Tijuana crossing and 22 miles west of TECATE. previously
to cross at OTAY MESA you had to navigate a horrible number of surface
streets leaving the toll road north of Rosarito. The new 4 lane
expressway is fast and direct 26 miles plus about 2 miles of 4 lane
with traffic lights. The otay mesa crossing has totally seperate
crossing for trucks and autos ( 6 lanes) as compared to 2 lanes at
Tecate. Check a recent 2007 edition of AAA Baja Map. Noel Coghlan
