Newlywed Canadian in Dominican jail

[steviewonder]

Don't believe everything you read on this. There's a gazillion post thread on DR1 about this. I read the whole blasted thing.
The family seems like trailer trash. One thing the brides father did is get in the face of some Dominican official and tell him to leave (the jail). They're not making a lot friends. Trashing the DR, legal system, cops, officials, AI's, etc etc. Wouldn't take offers from help from some DR1'rs that probably could have helped them get a settlement. Now they're f'kd.

More then the bride/groom did on thier wedding night

an 18-year old guard accidently shot himself in the foot when playing with his rifle, she said.

I believe that bit. That is the DR I know and love.

Yeagh, you know that.. You need an OUT, like DeNiro in the Movie HEAT... But even HE fucked it up ,cause he just had to go get him some last minute Revenge...
Swallow your Pride, Lose whatever $$ it costs, and get the fuck out, thats the best policy, and if you got people in the barrio /or "campo" in this case (since Punta Cana aint Santo Domingo) who can Hide you, thats even better, next day you can take a small plane to like Puerto Rico, and then make your way to the usa easily from there . No fucking way you want to spend time in jail for some stupid shit like this. 3 months out of your life you will never get back.
we just talking THEORY here,, hope we never have to do it for real, but definitely something to be learned here.. If they gonna fuck with Newlyweds, they definitely would lock our Drunk Monger asses up for sure..

Please share details..

Folks get no pussy in resorts and get into fights.

Also, it won't cost anything to put a relevant warning in travel.gc.ca and issue a pdf pamphlet with instructions of what to do in such cases.
