It is a given that the purpose of the recent warden message advising US citizens to be on alert when traveling to the Bajio including San Miguel was "CYA". There is an interesting case currently being litigated in which a tourist related company is being sued for failure to warn a client about the risk of assault in an area not previously known for such crimes but within a state, Sinaloa, which is. I'm not an attorney but am curious whether any forum members who are might offer opinions as to whether or not this case has merit.
