On Wednesday, AMET was deployed on Highway 5 all around Playero. There was easily a dozen of them! I don't remember ever having that many agents in town before.AMET active again in Sosúa
It is early December and Christmas is approaching.
AMET active again in Sosúa
This means that the traffic police (AMET) is again coming out to stop motorcyclists if they drive around without the license plate and insurance papers. On Tuesday afternoon, December 7, the officers were checking Pedro Clisante near BanReservas and Super Super. The officers were now equipped with fast motorbikes, so the equipment for the AMET is also improving. However, the bike is no longer confiscated (provided the correct proof of ownership can be shown) and the fine can be paid at a local bank.
As always before christmas, AMET and police are looking for their "pollo de navidad". They want to have a good christmas time with their families and this is their way to get the funding. Same procedure as every year.I don't remember ever having that many agents in town before.
And when it comes to actual traffic infractions that have an effect on safety etc or wrecless driving that would be (imo) the most important part of their job, they are absolutely useless...Not sure why this is news
They operate the same way across the country on a daily basis.

It's been in POP local news that people in this province are tired of them as they only work on quincena...
My British friend couldn't even bribe his way out of a helmet ticket. Next thing you know, they will charge people for offering bribes.Isn't it different this time if you have to pay your fine at the bank? They can't get their fingers on the $, unless they ask for 500 pesos to fugetabutit
Sounds like they've adopted the US model of quotas.Oh no !!
No bribery ???
Perhaps he should go to England where bribery must be rampant

If they just stayed at the red lights on highway 5 at Playero, The Carwash and Super Pola and wrote 2000 peso tickets for running the red lights they would get to 500,000 in a day
You really have no clue right?you cannot bribe an AMET officer, you can go to jail depending how mouthy you are when offered that choice. they are paid well and will get fired if reported taking bribes.
Most of those guys I have never seen here before. They don't work in Sosua on a regular basis.On Wednesday, AMET was deployed on Highway 5 all around Playero. There was easily a dozen of them! I don't remember ever having that many agents in town before.
