UPDATE: I made an error about the drinking laws - it's actually no longer illegal to drink in public. This was a law a few years ago but was overturned in court. Officers may still enforce against it in certain cases, but from a constitutional level, there's no law against it.
i was wondering if you were available to give me some advice
@@michovaltrades8444 Sure ☺️
Do you mind if we private message i don't want to talk about this on a UA-cam thread?🤣
@@michovaltrades8444 For sure, you can find my email in my channel's "about" section ☺️
Great video!👍🏽
Thank you for sharing.
Much good info in this video as always with EZRATO. For instance I have never seen phone registration requirement mentioned anywhere else, as important as that is.
Nice video
Cool video! where im from the drinking laws are strict as heck. Texas has a lot of counties that STILL haven't repealed many of the 1920 prohibition laws. They are called "dry counties" and I believe it's the sale of hard liquor over 14% that is banned, you can drink it (not in public) if you buy it from another town. Also its illegal to buy liquor on Sundays anywhere at all, we added that one in 1935 just as federal prohibition was repealed. (If you ever wondered, like 30% of our laws were made just to throw a middle finger up to the federal government lmao)
Hey Ezrato thanks like your channel going to Medellin Colombia soon from Orlando thanks for the informative you rare provision … question the music you play in beginning is like Brazilian Jazz can you tell me where I can find or more of it… sexy music thanks
was in Medellin, in February 2023, Uber driver told me that I needed to ride in the front seat, that was their way of getting around the law
Yeah, I had them tell me that a lot too.
Couple of things... you sit in the front seat of an Uber so that you don't piss off taxi drivers, also your jacket or bag behind you is signal to crooks to steal ... its call no dar papaya... (don't be a victim) ...look it up... and you're lucky locals are looking out for you, but its not a law. Only local phones need to be registered. If you have a carrier with international coverage you're ok. If you buy a local phone they'll register it for you. Everywhere in Medellín I see people drinking and walking around so there's that. Maybe different in Bogota
Yeah, I always sat in the front seat of Ubers, I prefer sitting in the front anyway lol.
And yep, "no des papaya" is a popular phrase but what I found strange was how it was being enforced by a security guard rather than suggested. She was also going around enforcing this on a lot of people, most of whom were Colombians who would of course already know about this risk but evidently didn't mind being conspicuous with their belongings. Careless as it may be, it felt strange to me that this would warrant enforcement rather than a kind recommendation. Perhaps not a law, but it may as well be, given how strictly it was policed.
That's true about the mobile network access, although the blockage is only applicable for people in the country for more than 30 days, at which point a foreign carrier would become quite expensive and it would be well-advised to change to a local SIM for cheaper data, so I figured it was still worth mentioning.
As for drinking, perhaps it differs in the suburbs, but I was referring more to the metropolitan areas - I really never saw this in any city during my 6 months in the country.
@@ezratotravel 🤙😎
You’re right in Medellin this rule is more relax
The drinking in public is hardly ever enforced, 12 years there
They are more rules than laws, I would say. It is not illegal to show your valuables, it is just for your own good so no one pickpockets your jacket while you are distracted. Phone usage restrictions while in line at an ATM is mainly to avoid spotters who identify potential theft victims. I will share with you one "strange law" Colombia has that probably you haven't seen yet: zero alcohol restrictions when driving. While in many countries (Like Australia), you are allowed to have blood alcohol content (BAC) below 0.05% (If you have a full licence), in Colombia you can get a really hefty fine if you have a BAC of 0.02%, for example.
I've had the same colombian phone number for 3 years, never registered my phone.
If you bought it in Colombia, it was already registered, or they just registered it when you purchased it.
@@DantheExpat-co8hf you have to register you're phone, not the phone number.
@@suizod I know. I've been here a long time. Done it 6 times in 2 different ways.
@@DantheExpat-co8hf I've been going to Colombia since 1991, never had to register my phone.
@@suizod I guess you just lead a charmed life. If you only stay a month at a time, you will never need to...
Not only is drinking in public pretty common, but so is smoking pot. The other day I smelled this when employees of a coffee sparked up behind the counter--I think one was the manager. jeje This isn't common but in general public areas it is.
I’ve lived in Colombia for 5 years and none of those things are accurate. First of all Mall Security are NOT police and Mall regulations are not laws and the police couldn’t care less where you put your jacket. Ride services are against the law because of a problem with fare disputes, especially with gringos. I don’t use Uber as my wife and I have a car. I don’t walk around the streets drinking because I’m an adult and can sit down in an appropriate place to drink. I don’t use drugs because they are illegal just like I don’t shoplift.
Plenty drinking on beaches?
President petro just said he is going to fully legalize uber... Mainly to mitigate all the protests from the taxi and bus drivers.
Yeah, there've been a lot of differing stances and draft bills floating around about it from the government so it's a bit of a mess. I've actually made an in-depth video about it all which I'll upload in a few weeks.
are you kidding? in Colombia itis not against the law to drink alcohol in public
Yep, you're right, I made an error on that one. Appears it was illegal a few years ago but the decision was overturned in court.
What I’ve noticed is that Colombians think they’re entitled to something here in the US. Most of the ones I met think is our duty to help them in life. But that’s just my experience tho.
Never experienced this, could apply to 😊any nationality, live in Colombia half the year
