Qatari's will start respecting the Emir and his laws when they enforce them. If I drive with a small child standing in the front seat, I don't have to answer for the law breaking till my car has to be registered. That may be 11 months so I don't feel like I am being punished, it is just an extra cost to keep driving. I am talking on my Mobile, no problem, I will pay them later maybe.

If I throw a drink carton on the street from my car, next July I will pay a fine. The system is not working, Qataris and Expat's don't respect the law because no one is punished. If a smoker was taken from City Center to court for smoking, it would stop but as long as the Emir does not care what is happening to his people, it will not change.

I don't think the rulers really know what is happening in their country, they drive on blocked off roads, they should try regular traffic days, they don't have to shop in the mall with the smokers, somebody does it for them.

If they wanted to know what Qatar was really like, they would find a way to get out of the palace and see the real Qatar.
