The selfie lovers visiting Dubai should take a look at the
new law in the United Arab Emirates according to which one can be arrested,
imprisoned and deported for taking photographs without the consent of those
shown. This cybercrime law not only applies to tourists alone, but also to
locals and residents.
Recently two young men were arrested after they took selfie
in front of a New Year's Eve hotel fire. The 63-story Address Downtown luxury
hotel caught fire just before a fireworks display at the nearby Burj Khalifa,
the world's tallest building. The hotel burned through the fireworks display
and into the New Year.
However the United Arab Emirates said it has released the
two young men after investigators found "no evidence of criminal
intent."
