extorting $$$ from American tourists. In one case, 2 guys were walking on Av. Revolucion when 2 cops stopped them, searched them and showed them 2 packets, allegedly cocaine. The packets were planted. The cops asked for $3K. but settled for $500.

If this could happen in the middle of Revolucion, it scares me to think what could happen in the Zona Roja.

OTOH, it does show that TJ is making an attempt to clean up the corruption
