I have to say as many times as I have been to BAJA I have never had a problem We used to race Mexicali often and the Chief of Police used to meet us at the border and escort us to the track. Everyone from San Diego County knows that the Federal Police near TJ are the worst and will mess with you if you look like you have something worth taking. I have driven three times to Cabo from San Diego and never a problem with Law Enforcement. Would never drive it again now that I am older and smarter!!! You have to remember you are in another country that has no rules and the laws are made when and if you get hassled. Generally 20 bucks will get you down the road if you are stopped. Attitude has alot to do with what happens and you had better know how to speak the language!!! La Paz is the place to go in BAJA.... The water near La Paz is 85 deg. plus year round and really beautiful. If you go to La Paz ask for Jack Velez! he is the man!
