This past winter, on our trip through southern Mexico, we passed through several checkpoints. Some were manned by local police and others by the military. We had our passports and car rental contract checked once and while going from Campeche into Yucatan, our ice chest was opened. It was no big deal and the individuals who stopped us were genuinely interested in knowing why we were visiting this area of Mexico which was so far from our home. Also, we were asked how we dealt with the cold weather. As others have mentioned, these checkpoints are to control drugs and weapons.
