Since the law in Mexico is so corrupt, seeking for help was getting no help at all. We were so desperate for help that we did not know we were in bad hands. A lawyer in Mexico heard of our situation so he came and looked for us and offered to lend a hand. The lawyer made everything seem so good that we weren’t worried at all because we trusted him. Since the lawyer we had worked with the Mexico government, he had the power to just walk in the jail and take my dad out. The jail never had an order to lock up my dad, they put him there because they wanted money, especially after they found out that we came from the united states so they assumed we had a good amount of money. The trust grew even more because of that. Things started to get weird. The lawyer started to ask for money to do certain things. …show more content…
the lawyer never did anything to help us solve the case, he just made it worse. Before, my dad had negotiated with the people that crashed us that to be equal we pay for their damages and they would pay for ours and the man agreed. The lawyer negotiated with the man that crashed into us in order to get even more money from us. When the accident happened, out truck was towed. When we tried to get the truck back, they did not want to give it back. They were either going to keep it or sell it for their own benefit. Money talks, especially in Mexico. A lot of money was taken from us since the impound lot put a price on getting our own truck

    Tierra Y Libertad Case

    One of the brothers had been accused of illegal woodcutting so the autonomous municipality requested for his arrested. Since it was a process to negotiate settlement between him and the accusers the government of Mexico believed that Tierra y Libertad had violated the law by keeping them longer than 36 hours in jail (p.79). For people in Tierra y Libertad it is important for them that delinquent replace or repair what they have caused damage too, because the accused had not come to an agreement they held the brothers as punishment. Those who are not rich and do not have enough to pay for funds, overly stay more than 36 hours. This is normal in the ruling of Tierra y Libertad.…

    The Three Strikes Law In New Mexico City

    Since 1994, New Mexico City has seen an increase in their crime rate after the three strikes law was enacted in the state. This was one of the leading reasons why New Mexico City is known as the second most hazardous nation in the United States (Beale). In New Mexico, the old three strikes law was only enforced for the five specific violent crimes where the court or police can take an action which are kidnapping, shooting, criminal sexual penetration, murder, and armed robbery. However, according to the article “Emotional Berry urges lawmakers to take action” by Dan McKay, journal Staff writer, who argues if there were more violent crimes added to the three strikes law in New Mexico, there would probably be a decrease in crime rates. In McKay…

    Gun Control In Mexico

    Though some would believe that making guns completely illegal would solve everything, this is not the case. Mexico is a prime example as to why making guns illegal would just make things worse. In Mexico, one has to get permission from the government to buy a gun as well as pay up to thousands of dollars (Burnett 2012). Not only is it difficult to even get a gun but also, “The military further regulates the caliber of the weapon, how many guns a person can own, how much ammunition they can buy each month, and where in the country they can take the weapon” (Burnett 2012). Mexico has a notorious reputation for its gun violence.…
