hensley Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 This all happened in the middle of the night with a backhoe or big trucks and it could have been many. If the cartel want to do something, they will get it done and quickly! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 If the cartel pulled this off, they would just call the police comandante in Chapala and give him a heads up so that no one would interrupt their work. They know the drill, they are not stupid. Anyone notice that no cameras were down in the municipio of Jocotepec? Makes you wonder why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainecoons Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I can't blame them. The government can't protect any public official, let alone the police. Mexico is a narco state. If you are a cop here you have two choices: Take the money and see nothing, hear nothing, do nothing. OR You are dead. Just stay away from these people. Don't buy drugs from them, as some expats locally do. Don't go to any club they go to, stick to the old gringo hangouts. And stay off the streets at night. They really aren't interested in you if you aren't interested in them. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Guad TV news this a.m. said San Juan Cosala and Joco both were affected, along with lakeside sites. No doubt in their minds cartels did it. And anyone dumb enough to think this wasn't a co-ordinated assault better retreat into their cave and stay there. Governor on TV this a.m. as well...... no doubt all will be up and running again soon. These cameras are "urban shield" and can follow a license plate once it's captured, predicting destination and alerting cops ahead of same so they can trap the baddies. Cartels not happy campers that lakeside carretera is now linked to Guad system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyBee Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 You may have missed the fact that "they" do not have license plates on their toys. (I see them in my area and will add that they are nice toys to play with 😊). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiko Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 @Natasha thanks for the west side update. I was in Joco most of yesterday and did not see any cameras down but I am sure some were affected. The same cartel runs all of the towns lakeside so makes sense. As far as license plates are concerned, I usually throw a handful of mud on my license plates when I drive into Guad so no more camera tickets for me. I suppose the criminals have that covered also.

Natasha Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 My understanding is these are NOT the " ticketing" cameras. They're used to see many things on multi-screens in various secure locations and used to verify what actually happened in accidents, robberies on streets/sidewalks etc., assaults, and a host of other things. Can be used for evidence when determining fault in some cases. Some may not know that recently at least 4 hidden locations were discovered where the BAD guys had their OWN systems in operation, so they'd know what the cops were doing and could redirect baddies around goodies!!

ibarra Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I drove through the intersection in front of Walmart about a half an hour ago. Many Policía Estatal, trucks, motorcycles and officers. Each entrance into La Floresta had 2 motorcycle officers posted. There were flatbed trucks loading up motorcycles too.
