U.S. plated vehicle owner threatened by police in D.F.

Can't imagine what paperwork they must have been missing.

For foreigners driving in the area, there is a local law known as the Reglamiento Transito Metropolitano. The only thing that it requires is your tarjeta de circulación (vehicle registration card),your driver's license and vehicle insurance. Though on vehicle insurance, though it is a local requirement, there is ironically no fine for not having it.

The police can't even ask for so much as your importation permit as it is not included in the law, nor should it be, since it is a federal issue. A good refresher on the import permits and issues is provided here, Ajijic Legal and Immigration Services

It is this a very good idea as mentioned to keep copies of the respective documents such as import permits, passports, title in your vehicle.
