The police in Santo Domingo are crooks, thieves and continue to prey on foreigners in rental cars; In fact to the point where almost without question you will be stopped on the Malecon after dark any night for no good reason. They are not there for anybodies protection other than to fatten their own wallets, please don't think otherwise.[/QUOTE]
I have been to SD about 8 times now and never have had an issue with a policemen. Actually, they have cut many hustler and chicas (as if there is a difference) short and gotten me out of 1or 2 situations. I have paid a propina or two too set the stage for a pleasant surrounding. However, NEVER been hustled like some of you are stating. Once again, EVERY incident I have seen has been a monger showing his ass from Sosua, POP to Sdq. I'm sorry if you guys have had issue and don't doubt it but after renting cars et all never had any issues of strong arming.
GBP is the most outstanding for the dollar. It's the Target of cases. First stop of every trip from now on.. As well as a few holes in the wall on pasture. A couple don't have signs but WOW!
