Re: I remember visiting Matamoros years ago.

Traffic tickets are in some way different. When the officer asks "do you know you were speeding?"
And you say yes, he can use that in a court of law against you.

Investigating a police connection to the murders.

Would this be the final result of strict gun control, only the evil have guns.

This is important to us because they were Americans. However, earlier 43 Mexican college students "disappeared".

Re: I remember visiting Matamoros years ago.

I was doing my No Country for Old Men movie road trip about 5 years ago and I went to Del Rio to see the old hotel that was in the movie. I saw nothing that looked familiar, so I went into a video store to see if they knew where the scenes were shot. I got to talking with the lady at the counter about the movie, she knew it well, but said it was not filmed in Del Rio. I mentioned there were scenes on the Mexican side, she immediately asked if I was planning to cross the bridge, which was featured in the movie and I said "oh no".

She said it was not safe to cross the border. She said her last trip was a few years before. She would never go again. She mentioned the police attempting to shake their party down for money.

I figure if a brown skinned, Spanish speaking woman from Del Rio does not feel it is safe, a stupid city boy from Houston has no business in Mexico. That was five years ago. Its only worse.

BTW No Country for Old Men was filmed in Las Vegas, New Mexico. A little town worth the trip by, if you are in that area. The bridge to Mexico was a bridge that went over the rail road tracks that run through the town. The hotel is there, just like in the movie.

Not any more. RIP

Was the old West this bad?

Oh sorry, no it wasn't, the good guys were allowed to have guns.
