4 years in jail for a literally microscopic amount of weed? Only in Dubai...

Well, I guess I`m going to scratch Dubai off my list of places to travel to.

Damn! My cover is blown.

Well, they don’t know about my secret Chicken Nugget overthrow plans yet. I must move quickly…

Do not assume that laws are fairly enforced by reasonable standards in the Middle East. 2 to 1, the Muslims traveling with this man never got a second glance, only Westerners.

Of course, the reverse is true in the West.

Is it really? :dubious:

When they all come down with glaucoma, they’d better not come running to us for help.

A clever airline could make a ton of money selling new clothes while in flight to Dubai.

I don’t see how the people who were arrested over there can’t get their own governments to intervene or something. This is absolutely criminal. I’m sure they’re making all the needed calls (if they’re allowed to do so anyways) and trying to get help, but yeah, this story needs more details. Why? When? Where? Who? etc…

I’ve heard many times that something like 75% of US dollar bills have traces of cocaine on them. I say the defense attorney should see about borrowing a couple of bucks from the judge in Dubai and then have them tested. Maybe the judge would see microscopic evidence in a slightly different light.

Half the time I can’t get my government to pick up my garbage on time. I would be less optimistic about it getting me out of a cocaine rap in another country. (Yes, I know the feds don’t do trash removal.)

When I say “reverse”, I am pointing out that a lot of people, law enforcement included, are treating Muslims differently since 9/11.

Oh, damn, who was it that said this about everything? :smiley: Was it something SCTV related?

The story is pretty incomplete, how did this guy get pulled aside?

He’s Rastafarian. Evidently Dubai customs officials are as familiar with what that religion’s sacrament is as we are.

That’s Jasper, a fellow nursing home resident of Grandpa Simpson.

Why would a judge in Dubai have US currency on him?

Payoffs from the earlier American defendants? :wink:

Dubai is a place where only the mega rich are allowed to play. The “help” consists of roughly 250,000 foreign laborers who for the most part are treated like dogshit.

Weed? What are you smoking man! Dubai is money and coke and designer shit…

Only 250,000? Closer to a million.

Don’t buy a used car. You are responsible for any seeds found.
This actually happened to us years ago crossing the Canadian border into Windsor. Every now and then they pick a car and search it like crazy. The guy I was with was the lucky one. We were all searched and they went over the car for over half an hour. They found seeds. After trying to scare us for awhile they let us go. It was a couple of hours of fun from beginning to end. Could they find seeds in your car.? Do they fall out of your friends pocket or cuffs?Has any one ever smoked dope in your car. ?
