The problem is that Dominicans can never say a word directly to people who bother them. They can complain about the noisy neighbor behind his back, but when they meet him accidentally in the parking lot, they will say "Oh, mi amigo, como estas, mucho tiempo, todo bien, Gracias a Dios, blah blah blah" but they will never tell him right in his face about his loud music. But they will continue to complain behind his back.
And that's why people who love to do whatever they want, continue to do whatever they want and bother other people. Because people who don't like the noise here are minority, and what can they do, whom they can address their complaints to? Only to Government or Jesus. But Government is busy with stealing money or wasting money for dumb projects, and Jesus is probably busy with other things too.
And when another politician, Faride or whoever else, starts to talk that bullshIt about 50 divisions across the country... who are those divisions made of? The same Dominicans, come to a home of any of those 'enforcers' and there's 99% chance that you will hear the same loud noise blasting from his crappy speakers. They can play that 'operativo' for a few days, like children play in their playground, like today we play the game 'police officers enforcing anti-noise laws', then in a week they all get tired of that, everybody comes home and turn their own loud noise as loud as possible, and every 'operativo', 'operacion', 'patrullaje mixto' or whatever else ends up the same way in one or two weeks. The same like how many times they prohibited windshield washers on intersections? And they are still there.
To change something here, you need to import the whole police force and their chief from some normal country, and change the 'culture' that at this point is just the lack of culture. Maybe in next 100 years something changes for real in DR, but I doubt it.
