The only issue I ever had was at a military checkpoint, I was on my way home from fishing in Ensenada. After crossing the last toll booth going north I was asked to pull over at the military checkpoint. They asked me the usual questions and also asked me to exit the vehicle. I exit the vehicle and as soon as I do they start going through every part of the cab, they even checked under the dash and checked to see if the door panels had been tampered with. While I was standing outside of my truck one of the kids, I say kid because he looked like he was 12, was walking around my truck banging on the panels, fender, doors, etc. with what looked like a broken car antenna. As soon as I noticed what he was doing he was quick to react and says, 'Tienes un problema'? (do you have a problem?). Being the tuff guy that I am I quickly responded 'no' and stepped away from the truck so that he could beat on it some more. He didn't damage any part of it but it was obvious that they were trying to intimidate me or get me to react in a way that would give them a reason to keep me longer or take me away. As soon as they found the cokes and water bottles in the ice chest things went much smoother.

The whole thing latest no more than 5minutes but it felt like I was there a lifetime.
