I spoke with the aid of a senator and he said that they could put so pressure on the situation, but that since the amount of money that was taken was small and that I wasn't put into the hospital or had bruises the dominican government would be more likely to sweep the issue under the rug and vilify me in order to save face and protect their tourist industry. He said that if I wished to stay in the country any longer he wouldn't suggest US intervention because the risk of reprisal would increase exponentially. He said things like, being detained and searched in customs so that I miss my flight, often and random police and security checks/searches, red flagging my passport in their local systems, among other things.

case in point
I was clearing security y'day in Toronto... they flagged my bag...
is that jewelry in the lower left corner ?
No... pellets, .22 caliber pellets.
she took them away for 'questioning' and returned asking if I had 'the thing' they worked with , these pellets.
No, I said, no firearms in my luggage - check again.... if you like.
They let me pass..... but they are ALL OVER all sorts of things these days
careful , careful is the key.
how stupid was that? the Toronto woman checking me ??
just plain dumb -- but thats what you're dealing with....... suck it up
I made a suggestion to leave the country - immediately - some think that is "extreme" . . . BUT let me tell you a story.
Some years ago (about 2007-2008). . . a good friend of mine, "JACK" was due to return back to Santo Domingo from the US. He had just recently purchased a 2 story building on Ave. Pasteur in Gazcue, Santo Domingo. Apartment upstairs, downstairs being "renovated" for a new restaurant. Had a "live on premises" handy man, laborer who Looked after the building in jacks absence. . . .
Jack could be quite nasty when he got drunk - according to "stories" he had some "issues" with a couple of local P.N. prior to his leaving. I believe he made a formal complaint against the two "officers" prior to returning back to the states. Accusations of theft, coercion, etc...... apparently that complaint went no-where . . .
fast forward a couple of months, Jack is scheduled to return on a date in January. A day or so after that date, friends started wondering where Jack had gone to? According to family in the states he had embarked on the plane to SDQ. Records later showed he "arrived" here but none of his friends had heard from Jack, or seen Jack. His house was still "locked" - he just plain kind of disappeared. State side family could not contact him and eventually contacted the US embassy for help. . .reach out to the local police for assistance. PN entered Jacks house - the apartment had been ransacked . but still no sign of Jack. several months went by. . . . . still no contact or sign of Jack to be found.
More pressure put on embassy by family, pressure on PN for more investigation. approx 5 months after he vanished Cadaver Dogs were brought in to the investigation. Guess what - Jack was found . . . . .
He had been shot, rolled into a tarp, then into a hole dug in the first floor, covered with concrete, just looked like part of the "renovation".
The laborer was re-investigated, it came out eventually that two national police officers were being investigated as possibly being involved. IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE SAME TWO POLICE OFFICERS THAT JACK HAD TANGLED WITH BEFORE AND REPORTED TO THE PN. NOTHING MORE WAS EVER HEARD OR REPORTED ABOUT THE CASE. CLOSED . . . .
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY WARNINGS?
