Police extortion and economic impact in Tijuana

Overview

Reports regarding police extortion in Tijuana have shown conflicting trends. Initially, the National Chamber of Commerce (CANACO) reported an 80% to 90% drop in extortion cases targeting drivers with United States license plates. This improvement was attributed to the use of police body cameras and new regulations regarding vehicle window tinting.

However, subsequent reports from CANACO indicated a severe economic downturn, with tourism and sales for formal businesses dropping by approximately 60% to 70%. This decline was linked to ongoing insecurity and frequent vehicle towing, which reportedly caused visitors to avoid Tijuana and neighboring regions such as Rosarito and Ensenada.
