Actually, based on my observation, the Fuzera Publica and the San Jose metropolitan police standing around in the vicinity of the HDR normally aren't doing their job (as Orange put it) - either because they're getting protection money to look they other way or they just don't care.
So, either somebody makes them care (politically) or someone pays them to do their job.
Apparently someone had enough juice to make them care (for a while).
Perhaps we shouldn't be assuming what their jobs are. The hawkers outside the HDR are not necessarily breaking any laws, unless they have drugs on them, to which few do (they usually run off to fetch it for you). Selling watches, cigars and such is not reason to earn a beatdown from the cops.
Selling drugs on the street is illegal in CR. And sellers of illegal drugs resort to violence.
Should it be illegal? Doesn't matter because it is.
And actually unlicensed street vendors selling counterfeit goods without collecting the 13% VAT are breaking Costa Rican laws, but I really don't care about that, per se. It is that they are the sea the drug dealers swim in.
