Mex 200 Michoacan Coast Update
There are currently SEVEN puestos de controles de rurales (they have official government sanction) and three new 24/7 PdC de marinas de la armada points. Stretching from Cerro de Ortega, to the bridge over the Rio Balsas. TEN CHECKPOINTS. Groups of 100 Self Defense members are combing the mountains, burning marijuana crops, destroying houses, watering systems and flushing out Los Caballeros Templarios.
The rurales are extremely polite. They are looking for sicarios. The Marinas are more thorough, they are looking for stupid people carrying firearms. Waved through the rurales PdC, open the trunk at militar PdC.
An American friend of Mexican descent said both types of retenes demanded to see his car papers, FMM and photo ID. Obviously looking for stolen cars.
Just thought you'd like to know.
