Came new to dubai.... was in Satwa... going around to see where is Jumeira beach... asked a coupla cops in Pathfinder about the where abouts... all I got was a ride to beach in Police car....
Second time went to DIC for interview, coming back no sign of bus stop, police car stopped asked me where am I going, told my destination, asked me in, hesitated but landed in back seat. They dropped me safe and sound at the nearest bus stand.
3rd time, just a few days ago, I got involved in an accident, had to rush to an important meeting, so left the car and my cell no. on display on roadside with the other car (the other owner was not there). After a couple of hour I was asked to come to Police station, went there and got papers for accidents and repairs. The police guy was kidding alot, always smiling. Told me they'll put me in jail for felony, sometimes they'll tell me my license is fake and laugh. Exchanged a few jokes also...... was a relief to know that Dubai had police to be proud of!
Alas, may Allah help the Pakistan Police!
