Ciudad Acu?a, a tiny town on the?Mexican side?of Del Rio, Texas, has been in the news regularly because of drug-related violence. ?The town, ?resides in the state of Coahuila, which has been dominated by the ultra-violent Zetas. A competing organised crime group, the Sinaloa Cartel has been trying to take control of this territory in recent months, creating a surge of violence.?Just last October, Jose Eduardo Moreira Rodriguez, the son of Humberto Moreira, a high-ranking politician from the Partido Institucional Revolucionario (PRI) and former governor of the state of Cohauila was kidnapped and killed,?a drug cartel?with the cooperation of a top police official.

But police in this city have decided to focus on a more serious threat ? miniskirts. General Javier Aguayo y Camargo, head of public security in this embattled border town and a retired army brigadier, has ?ordered a ban on women and men wearing miniskirts, imposing an 800 peso fine (about ?42) on those who disobey.

He said the bill was aimed at transvestites and prostitutes, rather than women in general. Wearing miniskirts, according to Agudelo,?violates the decency and well being of residents of Ciudad Acua, and can also be used to??commit several sorts of crimes,? including luring kidnapping victims, and men using bathrooms intended for the?opposite?sex.

The police will allow prostitutes to?wear mini skirts and other?tiny attire?in the red light district. But if they attempt to venture into downtown areas dressed in such a manner, they will be taken to jail for up to 36 hours, said local police.

About 50 people have been taken to jail since the edict was put into motion a few weeks ago.?Aguayo y Camargo?has deflected criticism, saying he is only following the law under Article 42 of the Public Morality code.
