Around 2pm this afternoon,I got stopped by 2 cops on a motorcycle.
It happened on the main road at the level of Super Pola.
One of the cop stayed on the motorcycle when the other one opened the passenger door.
I was alone in the car.
He checked my ID which was my US driving license to tell me "no problemo".
It's the only document requested.He gave me my ID back right away.
Then, started to ask me for money.Saying "100" .Was not sure ,what he was requested for:
USD 100 or 100 pesos. So,I opened my wallet that he could see based on where he was, saw I did not have any 100 pesos bills so I gave him USD 2 .I did have a lot more in my wallet ...
Nevertheless ,the USD 2 made the deal and I left.
Questions:
1-Should I stop next time that 2 cops on motorcycle ask me to do so ?
2-Should I continue to give money ?
3-Should I report it ?
Thank you !
Just be pleasant. Two dollars is nothing other than the principle. You never know when these guys might actually be of some assistance to you. Treat people fairly and move on. This is the circle of life in the DR. Cue the music....
