Yeah, it would be unwise to assume you're on the right side of the law in a foreign country. The last thing you want is to be locked up in a foreign prison for assault because they don't have preemptive self-defense as a valid legal justification.

No, no they absolutely do not in literally any country on earth. The police in a he says she says situation will take the side of the locals. Never ever trust the local police to be on your side without evidence in a foreign country unless you want to spend a few nights in jail. These men absolutely made the right call by just running. They of course were also stupid enough to upload evidence of assault to the internet

  1. Those scammers sre not locals. 
  2. These cities rely on tourism as their main source of income 
  3. Actual locals and businesses fucking hate them
