I don't know who's brainstorm that was, but even after Ruta Turistica is complete, it would still take at least an hour via that route - pretty much the same as going straight down from Maimon and getting a little too long for many cruise tours.
I doubt many cruiseship passengers would be interested in a night in Sosua!
Why bother as this area would only be for sex tourists. I doubt Dominicanos shop the current Pedro Clisante for the skanks that inhabit the area now. Yes, I called them skanks as they have to be the worse of the worse.
Bring in two truck loads of PN and Cestur on a weekend. Let them check every girl's ID. Don't have one then off to the slammer for the night. Also rendomly check the sex tourists and expat hoe mongers for ID. Don't have one then off to the slammer for the night.
Word will spread like wild fire on the message boards and job complete.
Easy me thinks............
How would you feel if you were stopped going to the colmado without ID and were hauled off to the slammer?
Not supposed to walk down the street without ID here or in most other countries these days. Much has been discussed previously about the need for tourists to have a copy of their passport with them should they be asked for it. If you get hauled off to the slammer for having no ID, that's your fault.

no law in U.S that says you need to carry i.d . If I am walking down the street here I NEVER carry i.d. Also I do not think any tourist anywhere here is getting arrested for not carrying i.d

I wrote, "most countries". While walking around Sosua, you are not in the US, no one said anyone was being arrested for not having their ID just pointing out to badpiece33 what the written DR law states, not how it will be enforced on any particular day.
There are circumstances in the USA when the police can ask for verifiable ID and if you don't provide it, or cannot provide it, you may be detained while your identity is ascertained. Specifically, in a situation where the police reasonably believe that someone has or is about to commit a crime.
Just for the record, walking down Pedro Clisante at 23:30 and speaking with a friendly female cultural representative would be more than enough grounds to reasonably assume that this person might be about to commit the crime of pandering, which was recently reported as being an item of concern for the local authorities. In this circumstance, if the police chose to get involved, how much do you want to bet they ask for ID either before or after asking for money?

All you need is a picture of it on your cell. No hard copy needed.
Firstly, for the poster who right off the mark had to point out incorrectly that there are no laws pertaining to identifying oneself to the police in the USA. Not sure why the poster thought that relevant, but they did and they were wrong.
Then subsequently for those who latched onto the errant observation and began a divergent stream of thought.
I continue to note that some consistently have difficulty comprehending my meaning when reading my rather straightforward grade 12 level posts, I know I'd lose a whole pile more if I tried to implant some humour - baby steps...

not to go too far off course; there is never ever anytime in the U.S unless you have committed a crime , that you need to show the P.D i.d,.
They can certainly ask, and you can certainly say no.
Here they do conduct random checks when you are driving around, I am fully documented and vehicle is properly registered so no to many probs other than the usual inconvenience
It seems to me that many of these threads get derailed by people looking for the worst in others. I visit Sosua a couple of times a year and have no problem in finding good folks, expats and chicas alike. Or at the very least, interesting people.
