Digital phenomenon 'Somos Más los Buenos' highlights Mexico City traffic enforcement
A digital phenomenon titled ‘Somos Más los Buenos’ has gained significant traction on platforms like TikTok and Facebook, documenting the daily activities of traffic police and motorcycle officers in Mexico City. The content features various urban infractions, such as driving in Bus Rapid Transit lanes, riding without helmets, or traveling against traffic, as well as high-speed chases.
A central theme of the videos is the refusal of officers to accept bribes, commonly known as ‘mordidas.’ The footage explicitly shows officials prioritizing the enforcement of traffic regulations and impounding vehicles when required. While the account uses internet culture elements, such as a chihuahua mascot in uniform, the content addresses the serious issue of traffic violations and the visibility of law enforcement work.
Although the channel is not an official communication tool of the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), public response has been largely positive. Users have used the comments sections to support the officers, suggesting that the coverage helps humanize the force and dignify the work of law-abiding personnel.
