CID's hot and active for illegals

lexxine
By lexxine

I'm hearing a lot of stories nowadays about CID's and police being active in random checking for patakas,arresting ladies with revealing clothes, raiding houses to check for legal documents (couples), liquors, etc etc... i even saw policemen on stop signals checking and looking on one by one if they wear seatbelts or not...some says because of the upcoming ramadan... but it was not like that before on my 3 years in doha... well i know these police activities are just proper things, but they are more more active nowadays than from the past... just wondering why?

I am amazed that people are complaining..

It is their role to root out illegal elements and activities. We ALL know why we are asked to caary a Bataka with us at all time..

Let them do their job. Might help get rid of a few undesirables in the process..

Guys its not only that what CID & Police are looking in these days, last week next to our villa in wakra, CID & Police came and caught 4 couples (at 2am) sleeping together, they do not have any Legal Doc with them.

and police caught the onwer of the the villa aswell, coz he did not check them before he give them the rooms.

So .... keep your self safe from them.

Be careful in these days, keep ID cards and other necessary documents with you while travelling, much better than the hassle you may face..

They are over using their power to be impressed, i just drop off today my daughter in grand Hamad street, i flash emergency signals, i didnt get out of the drivers seat, i was talking to my daughter that i will come to take her the same place and just suddenly, a policeman, taking my plate no.and like a mad dog deaf and cant hear what i am saying i am going, just dropping off my daughter...he is very rude without respect, no matter what my mistake is if there is, he should explain, and so next time we would not be doing the same mistake...its like, i am condemned of unforgivable mistake...He is just happy that he could present something to his superior that he had a well done job without any guilt at all...

what are you arguing about??

pa⋅ta⋅ca  /pəˈtɑkə/[puh-tah-kuh]

–noun a nickel, silver, or cupronickel coin and monetary unit of Macao, equal to 100 avos.

not sure how much these 100avos are.. and who this Macao is...but it's better to have 100 QR in cash on you, just in case...

Qatars a funny place. A lot of discussion about how Qatar police do nothing and now that they actually are enforcing laws it goes the other way.

As for checking roads late at night, from my recollection they always did this on the major roads leaving Doha.

I've seen the cops standing at the traffic signals, and i've seen them checking for documents and licenses etc at round abouts on the way to wakra or corniche road late in the nights after 1.00am.

Pataka in Hindi = fire crackers

Pataka in Arabic = ID card

not sure about the spelling though.
