Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and I wanted an opinion from you guys. 20 years ago I was on holiday in the DR and on our last day the cops cought us with 1 joint, yes only 1 joint. They took us to jail for the night (4 of us), scared us to death, we were 21 year old teenagers, and demande 4000 U$ in order to let us go. Otherwise it'll be about 3 years prison. That's what they told us. We were scared to death, borrowed the money and payed. After that they let us go, just 3 hours before our flight back home.
I haven't been there ever since. Now my question, I would like to go again and spend some time there, something like a year or so. I would like to know if you guys think I will encounter problems due to what happened 20 years ago. I personally doubt it, but just wanted to make sure. In my opinion the whole thing never even made it in the system. Looks to me as a complete rip off from the cops.
I would appreaciate your opinions on this?
Thanks so much
Barry
