Frankly speaking, you don't have to be on the N.C. The Gov/ Police enforce laws and non laws as they see fit.
There is at least 100 hoes on the malecon at night and its been that way since i moved here(2 yrs ago). As soon as the sunsets they appear and theyll harass the hell out of you. I cant debate the past but that isn't happening now. Its not even remotely happening now. Hell all I see are cops fraternizing with the hoes.
As Gary said, if they want and think it serves their purpose, they do it.
They tried it in Boca Chica for the same reasons as in Sosua today, latest in
2017. Not very successful there as I understand.
Here in Cabarete they used to do it as well, nowadays they do not bother, maybe Cab has become sufficient low profile regarding «in your face prostitution» and thus not damaging the tourism gov want.
One thing is sure, PN enforce the law as they see fit, you better have the resources/connections/lawyer to combat what we could call injustice in other more developed and less corrupt countries. No need to debate this fact
Back to Sosuas future?
