Colombians don't fukk with thieves and robbers. I've seen cops let people get a few in on already apprehended robbers. And it's better the cops catch the thieves than the locals do.
that and the prostitution makes the country look like a joke and they hate that shyt. Colombia has a fascinating culture but more folks only come for partying and drugs. But due to the country being somewhat a Narco State it is hard to hold people accountable thus locals will just shyt on foreigners and the occasional Venezuelan that gets caught doing something wrong
