The police are not willing to set up operations like this one here in the DR. If there is a wave of motorcycle assaults after 9pm; set-up a sting operation with a dummy on a bike and several police units a couple of meters behind. Im pretty sure DR police know that if they take the risk to do this, they won't get a promotion just probably a pat in the back and thats it.

Take the bait? NYPD anti-theft tactics criticized

That could work if the DR police are not actually involved in the robberies.

Bodega cashier arrested for selling beer to underaged man; v - YouTube

in this video the nypd trys to bait a bodega owner by sending an underage auxiliary officer into the store to buy beer.
the owner ask for id and the beer is not sold to the officer. then an undercover comes in the store buys the beer hands it to the underage officer outside the store on camera and the store owner is arrested. this is all on camera . then when the store owner is told to plea guilty if he wants to avoid going to prison by the legal aid.....

they had a better video where the police commissioner defends the tactics of the dishonest cops but i can only find one video on this issue . someone must of had them taken down.

Judge Linda Poust Lopez found that there was no proof Deirdre Myers tried to steal anything — and that she was framed by a sting that took the tactic way too far. Upholding the charges "would greatly damage the confidence and trust of the public in the fairness and effectiveness of the criminal justice system, and rightly so," the judge wrote

to this i say to late JUDGE

Nycresistance - The Truth Defends Itself ! - YouTube
this guys has about 200 videos where he goes out himself and finds the nypd doing the cities people wrong.


just wanted to put this information out.

I tend to agree that thefts are high because prosecution is so, well, not existent. Basically someone gets arrested and within a few weeks they are back on the streets. The DR judicial system is one of the biggest scams in this country, IMHO. You cannot get any justice for the most obvious and provable things...even following the "rules" they define here.

If you are a gringo and you need justice...go someplace else. You will not get it here by any stretch of the imagination.

It is a horrible thing but if you are not a Dominican with some money , justice is very difficult to find ..even for those who have a tarjeta de residencia , all the police or the courts want is money and then you will not get full justice. If you are a poor Dominican you can face dreadful problems even if innocent
