The incident took place on Pedro Henríquez Ureña Street with Máximo Gómez Boulevard and was spread by social networks and the traditional press.
It is observed when General José Manuel Frías Rodríguez incriminates two Digesett agents for not giving him honors when checking his vehicle, parked on a section of the bicycle lane of the national district, an area where parking is prohibited.
In a video broadcast on social networks, Frías Rodríguez is presented demanding “respect” for Digesett agents and that they put themselves in a position of “attention” due to their rank. “Be careful Ameth, be careful Ameth, but what is this?” The officer is heard saying to one of the agents in a defiant attitude.
Then the other agent comes to mediate the situation, and the general tells him, “He has to be careful and say respectfully, sir, identify yourself, hey. When I identify, he has to greet me like a general and then say, “Commander, you can’t stay there.”
