49erman, sorry to hear of your bad incounter. My wife and I have only been living here for 15 months. We have been stopped I think twice. It was late at night, we had been to Sosua and driving back to Puerto Plata. Once we showed our papers we were allowed to leave. I actually feel bad for the police here, they have a very difficult job. I normally shake there hand and ask in Spanish how are they. By the way thats all I know in Spainsh, they repsond in a nice way, check my papers and then we are allowed to leave.
By the way, we are gringo's, actualy we are so white we are like flash lights. LOL. Relax my friend and enjoy, this is a WONDERFUL place to be.
