My Review 

We were pulling out of a club near the oceanfront, when a group of police officers began pulling over every car with Americans inside.

They basically searched our car, then told us that we were driving drunk. Our driver was the DD and did not drink at all that night. They said that they felt he was drunk, and would simply throw him in jail because they were suspicious.

They were both holding machine guns, and we were scared shitless. They asked for our wallets, took about 400$ in cash, and told us they better not see us again, or we will go to jail.

I've heard of girls getting raped in Mexican jails - I would never want to be thrown in there.

Also, the police guard a special district where all the drugs are sold. Recently, the police chief was actually gunned down by drug cartels. Pretty scary.

Would you recommend this to a friend?
