ah, you see, there's the trick. you can break the law and get away with it. glorious. but so can everyone else. and that's when it stops being so funny.
What you must do is respect their way of life. If it doesn't fit yours, put up of get out!
Oh, now not my business to like or dislike who I decide? Certainly not your business to undermine my preferences, decisions and life here. I'm in a place here where people now need to prove themselves to me that they are not weasels, the best and only measure of self preservation here, IMO.
No I do not, I live my own life and do not need to lower myself to fit in better, because I demand a better more responsible way of life. So no, I don't respect stupid, wreckless, selfish, illogical people anywhere in the world.
So to fit your needs, you'll get rid of all of them from their own habitat. Pure genius!
I genuinely like most of the Dominicans I meet. I speak reasonably good Spanish, I think that helps a lot. I just fail to understand how so many expats living here can have such bigoted racist views of Dominicans and fail to get the basics of how things work here. The police are paid almost nothing - less than RD$10,000 in most cases. How can you expect them not to be corrupt on such tiny salaries? There is very little education, and most people haven't been able to leave the country. So people have never been taught to do things, and they've never seen things done differently abroad.
I left my country because I didn't like it, and I stay here because I like it here, and because I like the people. I think myself lucky to live in a mainly Dominican area and have mainly Dominican friends. I cannot imagine how tedious life would be to live in an expat community and listen to all the redneck trailer trash attitudes that some of the people posting here seem to have.
Honestly, if it isn't good enough for you here, then go home.

It is my experience that in most walks of life you can often give people the benefit of the doubt, if you so wish. Here if you give someone the benefit of the doubt, you looked upon as easy and often somewhere down the line become a target.
Yes, as I have mentioned there are crooks all over the world, but I don't care about that, I live here.
If you believe 70% of expats here are themselves crooks then I suggest change your circle of friends.
I said the place would be better without them as this place could have potential. This is not going to happen and so why take everything literally, obviously a chosen few should stay!
I got a chapter to read you. Have you heard of Nazi Germany, a man back there had the same ideas you are now promoting. Google what happened to him and to those that followed his thoughts. Should I give you his name?
For some of us it is home, there is no going anywhere, I get that many don't get this as so many have this opinion, obviously foot loose and fancy free to roam wherever you please with no responsibility, which is nice, but this country isn't a rite meant home as many choose to use it.
