Yep, that works

A Mexican government crackdown has netted 338 boats, most owned by American and Canadian snowbirds. The government says they lacked a Temporary Import Permit, and will decide within four months to release the boats or sell them at auction. A similar permit is required for RVs in many parts of the country, but no word if RVs have been scooped up for violations.

Not completely true - there was a raid by AGACE agents. Those boats that were impounded have now been released. Most had permits - IMPORTACIÓN TEMPORAL, just were not prominently displayed. Paperwork issues abound down here.

Thanks to Napoleonic Law, the basis of Mexican jurisprudence, one is guilty unless proven innocent.

In most of the 1300 verified vessels which had no problem and were certainly not impounded, neither the owner nor any other person was on board; however, touristic marinas, following Mexican port and customs regulations, provided documentation proving legal entry into the country of such vessels. Through provided documentation, auditors were able to identify data corresponding to those 1300 vessels. From this it can be deduced that auditors are able to identify vessel data.

As it can be seen, when touristic marinas comply with regulations and provide to the authority all documents in order, whether owners are present or not, vessel will not have any problem.

In this sense, I mention to you that the reason why around 300 vessels were precautionary impounded was because, regarding those vessels, touristic marinas did not provide any documentation proving legal entry or it was not possible to relate the provided documentation with the corresponding vessel.

Therefore, the authority granted a period so that documentation putting this omission in order was presented. Accordingly, for every case where the right documentation proving legal entry of such vessels was presented, the corresponding ruling shall be issued in strict compliance with the law and so the vessels will be released.
