I have no desire to step foot in that country. Shady AF

Step 1: RENT A MEXICAN CAR Rent a Mexican Car & you don’t get pulled over in security checkpoints or nearby the toll booths. I’ve traveled south more times now in Mexican rental cars than in my Texas vehicles. They will definitely not even ask you to tell them where you are going or anything if you have a Mexican car. Step 2: TRAVEL ON TOLL HIGHWAYS Like I mentioned prior, stay on the toll autopistas, don’t travel on the libre ones or the federal ones. These private toll booth ones are maintained, safer, and faster. Extremely unlikely (I’ve never heard of it happening) that a criminal organization would blocked a toll highway. Just the other public and govt ones. Step 3: GET MEXICAN IDENTIFICATION (This applies if you’re Mexican or are American but have Mexican born parents) With Mexican born parents you are given double nationality meaning you can become a Mexican citizen at the same time as being an American citizen. You can get Mexican IDs, License, and such. It’s way better to travel with a Mexican passport or license in Mexico so that you don’t expose that you are American. This way a cop or bad person won’t want to extort you or ask for excessively expensive bribes. Especially when they threaten to take and keep your ID back at the police dept. (here is where they usually suggest you pay them on the spot so that you don’t lose your ID). If you don’t pay them and play along that you’d rather go to the police station, they’ll hit you with the “I’ll let you off with a warning”. You’d probably care less about your Mexican ID than you’re American ones so it’s safe to risk them taking off with it.

@@sal2975 In the United States majority of people will not kill you if you disrespect them, no matter if it’s a white or black person although I think a black person is more likely to kill over disrespect. Have you ever met people from New York or Boston for example? They are highly disrespectful and it’s apart of the environmental culture wether white or black. Whereas in Mexico we have a much more masculine culture because life is hard and hard times create hard men we don’t clown around, men act like men and disrespect is not taken lightly you will be killed if you take it to far on a much higher rate than the United States. Specially when you go into areas outside of the city and that’s for normal people that are not cartel related. My mother has over 20 dead cousins and 2 dead brother and it’s due to violence, I’m telling you I know what I speak off. Entire families fight over disrespect and can lead to multiple deaths, they will go to your house and say face to face while looking you in the eyes “such and such said this and let’s handle this problem”. Now for Cartel people, that’s people you don’t want to disrespect period. There’s been alot of Canadians over the years that go to Mexico thinking their tough guys and showing disrespect, they get killed that same day. Respect is valued much higher in Mexico than majority of places in the world because it’s apart of our culture and it’s what can dictate if you live or die.

Don't give them shit lol. Tell them you want the ticket and will pay it through that.

Just mind your business and show them respect if they pull you over. If they’re cartels then they’re protecting their territory from rivals. That’s just how it is there. Cartels won’t just mess with random people unless you disrespect them in anyway. If they start to harm random people then most likely they’re not cartel, they’re just criminals preying on weak random people

It's really different from cartel to cartel. Los Zetas for example are notorious for targeting everyone in sight, from innocent tourists to children and women... And some of them even practice satanic witchcraft. Then there are cartels that like you said yourself are more "humane" and will even discipline and punish their soldiers if they ever lay a hand on any innocents. No matter what you do just be very careful and research what areas are warzones and which ones are more safe. The map changes all the time. For example, my family comes from the state of Guanajuato which used to be one of the safest states in Mexico some years ago, today it is one of the most dangerous places in the whole world.

Exactly! I'm a 6'2“ white dude. The number of run-in I've had with cartel members is wild . I've never been harassed by them. I HAVE been harassed and extorted by police in Mexico.

They won't do shit to tourists, they don't need police and government on their case. I love Mexico

military guys wearing sneakers is a dead giveaway

Those groups, particularly in Michoacán, may also be "Auto-Defense" groups. They're essentially private militias that protect local towns from cartels and take "donations" from people driving through. The state has abandoned them and many are at the mercy of the cartels. It isn't obligatory tongive them anything, but giving 'em a couple words of encouragement and $50 MXN will go a long way of avoiding further problems. Source: I've lived in Mexico and have passed by these groups on more than one occasion, specifically in Michoacán.

I wouldn't trust those militia groups either. Know why? Because some of the most notorious cartels infiltrated their groups and became bloodthirsty cartels themselves. This is why I hate militias in the U.S because I know that they'd do the same exact BS if they could get away with it. Luckily we have a strong regulatory agency to deal with them. That and we have far less corruption here than in say my parents' birthplace: the Phillipinnes.

Yep and then the Autodefensas find out it's easier to fund their protection racket by selling drugs or their enforcement services to other gangs and end up becoming gangs themselves, like Los Viagras that went from a nice autodefensas group in 2014 to releasing gore videos of flaying people alive just a few short years later

Mexican Army is organized in patrols, they are always close to more military units (caravans, military barracks, or a road frequent to them). Their vehicles have license plates of very few characters, for example L-992 (watch out the colors of the vehicle too). And the soldiers have patches designating military stuff (I don't know if it's rank, utility or ID). If they don't look like that just avoid them with caution if you can. Also try not to travel in good pickup trucks or suburbans in narco states since they can use that and sometimes steal it. If they steal it don't resist, things can go easy or wrong but your stuff is theirs if they ask for them, your life is worth more than that. I'm telling this stuff as a Mexican that have traveled through the country by car. Unfortunately narco is not from movies and as long as you keep it cool they won't bother.

What part of Michoacan are you driving in?

this was extremely helpful 👏

Those are the most confused pair of sunglasses I've ever seen.

Love the sunglasses. Do they make those for men too?

If I were you, I would avoid Mexico at all costs. Cartels are pretty much everywhere in the country, and they are one of the many reasons I would absolutely avoid Mexico, because I feel like they're going to kidnap or instantly kill me the moment I step foot into the country. If I were to find myself in Mexico, I would return to the United States as quickly as possible to avoid getting kidnapped or killed by cartels. To avoid driving into Mexico, I would follow exit signs, and if all else fails, I would make a last second U-turn in the leftmost lane to avoid entering Mexico.

Wow, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have Mexican cartels all over the United states & Canada too... 😅 We live here and so far have only had good experiences.
