For more than a week now, the police have been very active arresting girls after dark in Sosua. It seem they are taking almost every local girl they sees, prostitutes or not. After what I have heard they will be relased if they pay 1500 pesos.
Is it realy legal what the Police does ?

Everthing that they do is Illegal. They do what ever they want. I mean they have to spice up their income you know.
They have been doing that for as long as I have been visiting DR. It is 1500 pesos now hmmm? It was 500 pesos a few years ago. 500 pesos or a sexual service to be released.
No, it is not legal, unless the girls are actively committing an act of prostitution. The new Penal Code says that nobody can be arrested unless the arresting officer has a written order from a competent judge and is accompanied by an assistan DA.
The exceptions to this rule are crimes that are discovered as they are being committed: in flagrante delicto (red handed). The application of this proviso, only six months old, will take some time to be instituted throughout the police system..
If the girls had any knowledge or were smarter, they would have a lawyer on their speed dial.
The OP surprised me, because I was told the same thing as HB cited about the new penal code in the DR (hi HB! Need to contact you about a "date" in April ). I also heard that nearly 20 Police Officers from Sosua were transferred to other places, and it was generally new blood in the PD. So if all above is true, obviously changes that were supposed to have improved the system haven't made an improvement at all. What a surprise (sic)...

Yes I know they has ben doing this all the time. But the last weeks there have been some kind off massive action. The rumours say that the AI's is behind and paying for it. Don't know if that's true. The result is that Sosua the last days has become pretty dead at night even if it's in the middle of the high season.
