Apparently, the Dominican police is using facilal ID technology installed in their smart phones. All they have to do is enter into the system the cédula number or take a photo of your face and the info about you comes up in their phone instantly including a red light turns on in their phone if there is a outstanding warrant for you, immediately the police will arrest you. If the light is green, it means you have no issues and they leave you alone. Yellow means the person has a criminal record and gray that they have a registered gun (at that moment the police will ask for the documentation to determine if the arms license has expired. According to the Listìn Diario, so far they have detected 843 people that were running from the law and they have been allerted of over 2,700 stolen vehicles. In November alone 116 people with an outstanding warrant were arrested. During the first trimester of 2023 another 6,000 smart phones belonging to police officers will have this system installed. Lastly, the data base already has registered the faces of over 10 million people (most likely taken from the photo in your cédula and/or passport.)

Does this mean that you could be walking any Dominican street at anytime and a police can take a photo of you, get your info, etc without you ever being aware of this?

If the person is an immigrant and their face matches with what is in the data base it means they get your info and that you are legal. What happens if they can't get your info, if your face gives them an error message, nothing comes up? Does it mean you are an illegal? If the face in the system doesn't match the face on the cédula, does it mean you have a fake cédula?

What about expats of the type that like to enter the DR on a 30-day tourist card and simply let it expired and pay the fine once they leave for the additional days past the 30-day limit that they were in the DR illegally?

What if you have an Interpol warrant for a crime you committed outside the DR, it expedite the amount of time it takes to capture you anywhere and arrest you anywhere in the DR?
