Current Events > Man faces 3 years in Dubai jail for bumping into a man in a bar.

(+) Yeah! (+)

A Briton facing jail in Dubai after brushing against a man in a bar has been ordered to remain in the city.

Jamie Harron, 27, appeared in court after being arrested for public indecency and drinking alcohol.

He is said to have been in the citys Rock Bottom Bar in July when he moved through the crowded room holding a drink, with his hand in front of him to avoid spillage.

It was then that he touched a man on his hip to avoid impact, his lawyers said.

Mr Harron, an electrician, made the movement so he did not bump and spill drinks, they added.

Why do westerners go to these places, if this how they react to what essentially, is a petty minor nothing.

Probably getting paid huge money for a job and just wanted a drink.

The poor guy has already spent 30,000 on legal fees, not to mention lost earnings.

If drinking isn't allowed why do there bars sell alcohol? Prosecute the bar owners rather than the customer.

I'm on his side, was saying the reason he was in the country was he was likely getting paid a lot. In Dubai all citizens are rich from oil money so all labor is contracted to foreigners. They treat them like shit but they pay well.

Actually a good way to make some money if you are single and have a trade.
