I have had problems here with things like assaults, but Costa Rica is a very special case in Latin America. We're under-developed (very hehe), but we're a lot better off than say Nicaragua, which is why a lot of Nicaraguans illegally come here (no control whatsoever at the frontier). Immigrants, along with increasing poverty, more guns and lack of gun control, plus the government not doing anything at all (as usual) and not passing new lawa concerning security, have made CR a lot more unsafe than it was 8 years ago. And all of this happened in a matter of 4 years, things are getting out of control here, the future looks grim for CR unless something is not done IMO.
Michelle Bachelet was here a few days ago, she actually instructed the deputies (congressmen) how to pass laws in a more efficient manner *plop* (inside joke to Allfader ).
The future looks a little grim here too because of that woman and his minions. A lot of frauds have been found inside the government, internal robbery, bad builded houses-bridges-schools-hospitals-etx (with the cheapest material available, without minimal implements), increasing governors salaries without doing it public, etx...also we have the same frontier problem with peruvians. The frontier was filled with land mines since the last war with them (1879) (the frontier has 25 km who separate both countries, so only narcos and illegal-dumb people were affected my them) and Bachelet removed all...now we are invaded with peruvians and bolivians (the last ones want to divide Chile with a road to get a gate to ocean..why us and not Perú? they are closer than us...well, they hate us).
The last thing...the laws. Shit, she's the worst on it. one of her most recent laws was to give a lot of 'rights' and guarantees to delinquents. The police can't do nothing about it and the robbery rate increased like 300% on the main cities. Now people is taking 'justice' by their hands... Things here were great till Lagos and Bachelet coming. next years are elections here and I hope the 'republican' candidate be elected (republican way here is less extreme than another countries), if another socialist/comunist candidate is elected, we'll be screwed.
