This Might Be Why You’re Getting Stopped
If you’ve noticed more checkpoints or patrols giving your car a longer look—especially if you’ve got California plates—you’re not imagining things.
This Wednesday night, Rosarito police responded to a 911 call at Pabellón Rosarito shopping center. Inside a suspicious vehicle with California plates, officers found human remains. Yes—actual remains.
The car was a white Ford Focus, found with its trunk and doors slightly open and visible blood stains. Police quickly secured the area. The Baja State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) is handling the case now.

And while the model may not matter moving forward, the plates certainly do.
Local and federal security forces have increased their presence lately, and if you’re driving around Baja with U.S. plates, especially California ones, you may be getting stopped more often. Not because they don’t like you—because they’re working.
It’s not about panic. It’s about patterns. And when something this serious shows up in a car from out of state, every similar vehicle gets a second look—at least for a while.
So if you’re pulled over for a routine check, don’t take it personally. Take it as a sign that Baja’s not letting things slide.
At the Gringo Gazette North, we don’t do bad news—but we do keep our eyes open. If you’re on the road, be cool, be legal, and maybe clean out your trunk—just in case.
