As someone who has driven throughout Mexico since 1960 and has pretty much seen it all, I have to say this report is very informative, extremely accurate in its perceptions and recommendations and is a lot of fun to read as well. ¡Gracias! for sharing.

(I've lived in Mexico, worked with law enforcement in the U.S. and had an uncle, Nicolás C., who was Chief of Police in Cd. Victoria in Tamaulipas - he shot a newspaper reporter and spent some years after his truncated career in la Penitenciaría del Estado.)

El blogdelnarco is an interesting resource, for sure. And the Policía Federal de Caminos in the northwest zone at least used to have some members involved in an auto parts black me parked / smuggling business, as I found out helping a retired CHP lieutenant friend searching for a warp tear pump for his International Travelall V-8.
