On November 14 at 3:00 pm, the section chief, a policeman, an officer of the Investigative Technique Police (PTI) and two witnesses knocked on the door of the home of a Cuban citizen who works in childcare (she has a patent authorizing her to work). The citizen was accompanied by the girls in her charge, who were sleeping. The woman answered the call and asked what was going on. The PTI officer answered her in a bad way that they were coming to do a search because they had reported that she was selling rum and car parts. The citizen began to cry and explained that she was a retired person, who only took care of the girls and that for this work she paid a tax to the State. The authorities showed her the search warrant and, having woken up the girls with the argument, entered the house and searched the place for about an hour. Finding nothing, they left. This police action, besides scaring the minors, caused an increase in the blood pressure of this citizen who continued to work without receiving medical assistance.
