If you have committed a crime in the Dominican Republic, or have been arrested on a whim, for no real purpose, calling friends in high places. Usually, with a phone call from a friend who is a politician, a known businessman, a high ranking police officer or military personnel or someone who has a lot of connections will get you out of trouble. Only if the crime you are being charged with is related to drugs will you not receive any help.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NOTE:\u00a0 The DR1 website is a news service, offering news from the Dominican Republic.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also a popular hangout for expats from America, Canada and Europe as well as Dominicans who have traveled abroad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the Dominican Republic there are an exceedingly immense number of laws and legal procedures, almost disproportionate in number when compared to the population and land size of the country (the state of Texas is more than 14 times larger in land size).\u00a0 They also have Constitution which is very similar to ours in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Who enforces the laws and legal procedures?\u00a0 This is where things become complicated and cumbersome&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The salary of a Dominican Policeman is less than $200 US Dollars per month.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, here in the Dominican Republic employees are not paid by the hour, they are paid a monthly salary. Most jobs in the here have a six (6) day work week and typically a work day is 9 to 10 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Employees are paid twice a month, by electronic check to their bank accounts (if you don&#8217;t have a bank account or if you are in debt to the banks&#8230;BIG PROBLEM).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the private sector the paydays are the 15th and the 30th.\u00a0 The paydays in the government sector vary, but they are the same in that they are paid twice a month. \u00a0 Unfortunately, untold numbers of employees end up accomplishing nothing more than recouping, or regaining, the money that they spent on public\/private transportation to get to and from work and the money that they spent on lunch (or appropriate mealtime occurring during their work schedule).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So who joins the police (and the military)?\u00a0 To put it diplomatically<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>(because I really and truly happen to love the Dominican Republic and Dominicans!)<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Most who join the police and military are not well educated and some were criminals before they joined. \u00a0 They join because there are all sorts of illegals ways in which they can then earn money, and they can do so without much risk of punishment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NOTE:\u00a0\u00a0 To be fair it should also be noted that there are some good young men and good young women from very poor neighborhoods often join the police or military to escape the crime, poverty and as a method of shielding themselves from young criminal types who don&#8217;t official jobs in their neighborhood who often extort and rob or bother some of the more innocent working class people in their neighborhood.\u00a0 Ironically, when these good young men join the police or the military they themselves then soon become the criminals and predators preying upon the populations and fleecing the flock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here in the Dominican Republic when a crime is committed and the police arrive (if they are alerted to the crime and if they decide to come), and if there is an arrest or a suspect to question there is also almost always a somewhat immediate option<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">for the criminal to pay ($) for his freedom. \u00a0 If there are lots of people watching, or if there is a victim in sight, then the transaction ($) might take place a couple of streets away when the criminal is being &#8220;transported&#8221; to the police station.\u00a0 If you can pay ($), or if you have a friend that can come quickly and pay ($), you are dropped off on the street and there is no paperwork and no record of anything having ever happened.\u00a0 What about the victim?\u00a0 Can the victim call and inquire about the case?\u00a0 Of course, but no one will remember anything or they will be told to call a different number or to ask for someone else or that there is no record such an event.\u00a0\u00a0 Telephone calls are tremendously expensive here in the Dominican Republic (paid by the minute) and its unbelievably-crazy-ridiculous-expensive and no one can afford (nor afford to waste) the minutes that would occur during such calls.<strong><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">With all do respect, most policemen, military personnel and civil servants do not know what laws exists and which don&#8217;t.\u00a0 And the only motivation or incentive to try an appear to enforce the laws (real ones or imaginary one that they create at whim) are to extort money from the civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Why does these people need all this money?\u00a0 They need money for everything of course.\u00a0 Do you know how much a gallon of gasoline costs in the Dominican Republic?\u00a0\u00a0 Roughly the equivalent of six (6) US Dollars.\u00a0 Who can afford that?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You also have to factor in contemporary Dominican culture.\u00a0 What do I know about it, you ask?\u00a0 Well, I have been living between the Dominican Republic and the United States for about eleven 11 years now and I also took a university class called &#8220;Contemporary Dominican Culture at Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the most part contemporary Dominican culture is a group culture.\u00a0 Generally there is no room for individualism here. Here in the Domincan Republic everyone knows everything that can be possibly be known. No one makes mistakes or errors here and if a mistake or error is made it always because of some other parties fault. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Arguing over who&#8217;s fault it is typically more important than finding a solution to the problem or any sort of progress in general.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, these arguments or debates are often decided, or won, based on which party sounds the cleverest which doesn&#8217;t usually amount to being in the right or being factually accurate.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here in the Dominican Republic culture trumps the law, or official procedure, any day of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you know what happens when when a teenage boy in the Dominican Republic arrives at a hospital with his head cut halfway off (this is not an exaggeration, please see embedded video directly below) after a machete fight?\u00a0\u00a0 The medical doctors and staff gather around like they are watching a pay-per-view UFC fight and they pull out their cell phones and begin recording.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Their concern is not for the patient&#8217;s life or his well being but rather getting a cool video of a kid with his head cut off halfway off so that they can tell their friends and family about it later on that night and upload it to Facebook and get hundreds of &#8220;Likes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Not far into the video doctors are breathing all over the kid&#8217;s half cutoff neck and more cell phones start recording and jokes are made and they laugh a bit.\u00a0 From the outset the doctors have been dobbing the kid&#8217;s half-gone neck with gauze or absorbent material. Doctors and medical staff are now sticking their fingers further and further inside of the kid&#8217;s neck without even looking at what they are doing because they are more concerned with the camaraderie and answering off-the-wall questions from others in the room who are watching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this point the word &#8220;vaina&#8221; is starting to be used in the video\u00a0 The word &#8220;vaina&#8221; (and the word&#8217;s variant spellings) is slang for &#8220;stuff&#8221; or &#8220;things&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0 What&#8217;s wrong with that, you ask?\u00a0\u00a0 It&#8217;s like saying the word, &#8220;shit&#8221; in English when a person says something like, &#8220;That shit was gross&#8221; rather than &#8220;That thing\/stuff was gross&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What opinion would have of your doctor, how would you rate or evaluate him\/her, if you walked into your doctor&#8217;s office and he\/she told you, after examination\/testing for cancer, that &#8220;Yeah, that shit is definitely cancer.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please review the short video directly below and let us know, in the comments section of the WOBIK blog, if you believe that the medical doctors and medical staff followed official procedure, medical protocol and ethical regulations or principles governing conduct.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JEd2aAxzjqo\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\"

converted to US dollar) from more than several people each day for petty law violations (or imaginary ones).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the larger violations like guns, robbery and drugs (although sometimes drugs crimes are impossible to pay your way out of out of because the United States DEA is often involved) the prices are often much more costly and you&#8217;ll need a lot more than $50 pesos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For murder, depending on who you have murdered, people here have paid $100,000 pesos and upwards for their freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once you get to the police station and paperwork states getting filled out and filed and you make it to a formal jail then things become exceedingly more complicated if you are still hoping of buying your freedom.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While I was in <\/span><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">La

place to sleep and also your bed.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have money then you sleep on the floor in your clothing.\u00a0 Even the showers costs money and if you don&#8217;t have the money then you might get just enough water to wash your face.\u00a0 The food isn&#8217;t free either and your family (or friends if there is no family support) will either have to bring you food each day or bring you money often so that you can buy food inside the jail\/prison.\u00a0\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have supportive family <strong>(which, in my opinion, is exceedingly rare in the Dominican Republic)<\/strong> then you will need friends (on the outside) to help and if you don&#8217;t have friends then you have the following choices:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:

it does work for many, is extremely difficult (if not 100% impossible) if you are starting out with nothing and no money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Notwithstanding the foregoing, there is hope for those criminals (and also the innocent) who didn&#8217;t have money to pay the police\/military before they arrived at a major jail\/prison like La

with police and military on the outside.\u00a0 This often takes time (e.g., months or up to a year and sometimes more).\u00a0\u00a0 With a number of silent payments (definitely wont be receipts for the $) from your family to a small network of medium to high ranking police officials, who work out deals with the Court, to buy your freedom and also the dismissal of your case, or time served or probation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Option number two recently worked for my neighbor and, after about a year, he is now free.\u00a0 He was arrested for a gun and murder.\u00a0\u00a0 Its should be noted that directly AFTER he was captured (subdued and no longer a possible threat) he was shot in the stomach by the Policia Nacional.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Policia Nacional in the Dominican Republic can also be hired for the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:

ethics?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It should also be noted that here in the Dominican Republic when the Police or Military are looking for criminal suspects (by specific names or by description only) they often shoot first and ask question later.\u00a0 It happens frequently here.\u00a0 It also happened right in my face on December 5th, 2011.\u00a0 A friend (I&#8217;m friends with nearly his entire immediate and extended family) was riding his motorcycle and a police officer said stop and then immediately proceeded to shot him.\u00a0 He was a fifteen year old boy and he died moments later.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I attended the wake (or &#8220;belorio&#8221; in spanish) at his mother&#8217;s house that night and also the funeral the following morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NOTE:\u00a0 Most families here in the Dominican Republic do not allow autopsies to be conducted on their loved ones because in this country it damages the body to the point that an open casket (or window casket) wake, memorial and funeral service are no longer possible.\u00a0 It&#8217;s probably due to the invasive procedure, cutting the body open and not being able to put it back together in good-looking way, and also the procedure taking too long and the body starting to decay especially because its always hot and muggy here and the electricity goes out for hours each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a

Dominican Republic.\u00a0\u00a0 Foreign laws and procedures can be found online but that doesn&#8217;t implicitly or necessarily indicate that those laws are enforced or that those procedures are categorically established ones that are roundly implemented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Furthermore, the same can be applied domestically.\u00a0 <strong>For example:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I was born in, and have spent a great deal of my life in, Iowa.\u00a0\u00a0 A decade and a half ago (when I was 18 and 19 years of age) I learned that the laws and procedures were not applied equally and roundly in the Iowa District Court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It depended on what county you were in (and sometimes which Judge in the same county).\u00a0\u00a0 The Iowa District Court for Polk County (Des Moines, Iowa) wouldn&#8217;t sentence a man in a felony case until a pre-sentence report has been conducted and filed, which could take some time.\u00a0 They said that that was the law in Iowa.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But in Linn County (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) they had what was called, unofficially, &#8220;a plea to go&#8221; in which a man could plead guilty to a felony and be sentenced to prison just a matter of moments after he said the word &#8220;guilty&#8221; and then be on the next bus to Oakdale (i.e., the Iowa Medical &amp; Classification Center prison).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also in Linn County there were Judges who sometimes stated that they had no choice but to set bond in felony cases because the law in Iowa required it.\u00a0 However, there were other Judges in the same county who would order a man to be released, for a felony charge, on his own recognizance without paying any bond at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then there was Johnson County (Iowa City, Iowa) where nearly every single bond for every criminal code violation known to man carried a &#8220;cash only bond&#8221; (i.e., no surety bond or 10%, you have to pay the entire bong in cash).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Then there were the enhancement laws.\u00a0 If you were charged in Linn County the charges were rarely, if ever (you&#8217;d have to be a terrorist or something really scary, like Obama or Bush), &#8220;enhanced&#8221; for previous convictions of the same criminal code violations.\u00a0\u00a0 Yet, if you were arrested in Polk County or Johnson County they&#8217;d tell you that it was the law that charges must get enhanced for previous convictions of the same crime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">NOTE:\u00a0 Armchair scholars and people who believe that everything is online please (if you can control yourselves) don&#8217;t go all &#8220;cujo&#8221; on me and begin hunting down the digital versions of the Iowa Code (criminal or administrative) and start posting comments about how I&#8217;ve misunderstood all of what happened in the Courts.\u00a0 Laws often change and &#8220;pilot programs&#8221; are sometimes implemented which, at least temporarily, override other laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Please exercise your free speech in the comments section below.
