Policing from the Sky, Crime on the Ground, and a Pole That Just Won’t Fall
Quintana Roo's week: drone-equipped police, sargassum as a regulated resource, a teetering Telmex pole, and CFE workers detained over "suspicious vibes" amid digital crime reporting and looming storms.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to live in a telenovela directed by Michael Bay and scored by a mariachi band on Red Bull, welcome to Quintana Roo, 2025. This week, the state’s law enforcement isn’t just fighting crime—they’re fighting gravity, corruption, and an overachieving seaweed that’s now officially part of the national fishing fleet.
Yes. Sargassum is now a regulated fishery resource.
Not a joke. Not a metaphor. The stuff that washes up on your beach, smells like a dead fish’s gym sock, and ruins your Instagram sunset pic? It’s now pesca legal. So technically, if you’re scooping sargazo into a bucket on Playa Delfines, you might need a permit. Or a union rep. Either way, congrats: you’re in the aquaculture game, abuela.
But let’s talk about the drone squad.
