For Baja Peninsula Entry Ports Vehicle Inspections
The Aduaneros (Mexican Customs) people lined up after the red/green lights are slowing traffic down to lend an extra eyeball to try and decrease merchandise smuggling and passage of automobiles with missing or expired license plates or license plate tags.
What they are looking for are very old cars being smuggled into the largest cities (where they can be sold and driven on remote city streets with little fear of being caught)
And residents who try and stuff like wide screen TVs into sedans and drive in the nothing to declare lanes. I was amazed to see a Nissan XTera with two seats missing that had a motorcycle stuffed in it. The agents swarmed it. They had the new cycle half out. No plates.
But for visitors, relax. Having fifteen agents line five lanes looks somehow aggressive. It isn't. You'l be waved right through.
(Yes, I stopped and asked. The Aduanero was very polite. He said the number of people (Mexican citizens) violating the law was considerable")
