[@checox27]

Respect man, your bold. I know he said, La Perla doesnt usually allow recordings but the same goes for the "Caserios" known as Public Housing Projects. Im from Nemesio R. Canales (public housing project in San Juan- one way 1 in one way out) and it would be the same way. Sometimes u need a local or someone from there as a guide to give u a tour. But the "boys" in the neighborhood will definitely be a bit nervous about u going in there, them never seeing u before in their every day to day life and might inquire to why your are filming. The first thing they think of is u being a cop or undercover, bloggers are more of a common thing now a days, but the best bet is always being humble, setting up aquaintances and getting permission from "top dogs" running the show to have them guide you first on where u can and cannot film and of course theyre blessing. Once u got that, you got the golden key around the "Barrio"

@stafaislive good thing is that La Perla it's not the same place like it used to be back in the 70's, 80's and 90's. A lot of crimes were going on back then. Not even ppl from other cities were able to get in there. Not even the cops. But after 2000 or so, la Perla has become more popular but in a better way. Artists producing their videos, athletes trying to encourage young kids from the hood to practice a sport like boxing, a lot small businesses for the visitors , etc..

Only problem we had was when he exited the shop five of the local women literally sat in front of the door, blocking the exit. My wife politely knocked and they moved but the older woman of their group was mad mean mugging like she was looking for problems. We smiled and kept it moving. Not my barrio, not my barrio to disrespect. The sneaker shop had some nice authentic sneakers and urban wear. Mad clean inside. Lotta reggaeton singer shoot videos down there.

The place is ugly, none of their bars or restaurants is unique or better than what you can find in Old San Juan.

[@stafaislive]

Wow, that's devastating. It's a good thing you went around with people. There must have been a reason why those people got attacked.

It's like any hood respect and u won't have problems there's the "puntos" drug deal spots stay away from those just like any hood also when people record and ur not puerto rican they automatically think ur a cop i have an accent raised in the states everyone thinks I'm a cop

[@stafaislive]

I see now, thats why they a not comfortable with random people recording.

It’s not that is dangerous’ is that there’s roles☑️ learn the history of places before you travel and you will avoid the consequences. Do you enter your neighbors home without knocking? No right So You have to be careful we’re you be filming! 🫶🏾😇🙏🌻🌞✌🏾

[@SnacksFS]

Crazy is like if you bring a camera to someones house they will get mad 💀. I live in Puerto Rico man and la perla is not dangerous if you are not looking for trouble. Nosey tourist get clapped because they are nosey end of story

[@stafaislive]

It's a neighbourhood that the public can walk around, not someone's house. That's a bad comparison.

[@Joanna-nb3bc]

​@stafaislive it's a drug point plain and simple. Not a tourist spot. The politicians and police do nothing about it. You disappear in there, and they'll dump you elsewhere. I don't get the appeal.

[@stafaislive]

@Joanna-nb3bc its dangerous if people are not aware of their rules

Hi. Why don't you tape and or go to owers hundreds of good neighborhoods and areas of just San Juan? Every country has bad áreas THE US HAS THOUSANDS of bad áreas Miami/ DC/ New York/ California, you are interviewing DRUG USERS? INCREIBLE

[@stafaislive]

@ricardoochoa9175 I will keep that in mind, as I am learning and understanding how areas should be recorded.

[@Mannyroots7]

The caption of this video is bull shit .. I live here so if you respect the rules you will be fine it’s just a place where you have to follow the rules simple .

[@stafaislive]

Your speaking from experience, i would understand if there is a sign for people to give them instructions, that doesn't know that area. As the man said in the video they have their own rule.

[@Mannyroots7]

@@stafaislive do you normally just walk and film an area where you never bin before or you just think in you head everywhere is the same . You can tell it’s the ghetto community and in any ghetto in the world you can film only if you get the green light or in certain area’s it’s ok .

[@ValeriieNiicole]

Why record if they are telling you not to. Why would you disrespect them like that. Even when they told you to not record their face you post them. Would you like people to record you or your home after you have told them many times not to? Come on man! Then tourist get killed and it’s the Puertoricans fault. Follow the damn rules! This happens in many many countries. Some tourist have ZERO respect for other peoples culture!

[@lorein1770]

If you've wach the video, he didn't know at first and after he was advised he ask for permission and the guy he is recording is okay with that. Thats why you can now watch the video. So i don't see how that is disrespectful....

[@stafaislive]

You clearly didn't watch the whole video to understand that he was happy to talk on camera.

What’s the point of journalism and these videos if they don’t show us how the country really is and what we can encounter? Stafa was respectful 🤷
