Self Defense
To be serious for once.
The use of force model is in effect in many countries.
Your response to an attack has to be in relation to the attack
The force reasonably necessary to prevent or stop an offence.
In countries which operate under common law there is the presumption of innocence.
You are innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution.
Under Napoleonic Code (civil law which also includes criminal law) you are guilty until you prove your innocence.
In the DR law is based by the Napoleonic Code.
As an example when you drive you want to have Casa del Conductor insurance. In case of injury of others you will be in jail till things are cleared up.
Of course Mr. Guzman is the local expert who practices law and we should defer to him for factual info.
In any case avoid confrontation whenever possible.
In real live situations the attacked is always at a disadvantage because of the law.
Vicious or lethal response which is sometimes needed to protect yourself or loved ones is always second guessed, and you have to prove your case.
It would be nice if vicious criminals could dealt with on their level.
I do not want to rehabilitate, just want to make sure they're not given a second chance.
