I found these videos on YouTube which reminds me of COPS series in America minus the crack heads. A camera man rides along with the Qatari police showing what they encounter during their shift.
The first video shows them stopping a guy because he is wearing a police uniform shirt and isn't carrying his ID.
The second video shows the police using undercover guys to find the people who use their personal cars as taxis. Qatar has it's own taxi system named Karwa, which are the turquoise cars shown in the video as well as limo companies. I admit I took an illegal taxi when we left the mall while I was visiting Qatar, in Kuwait it is total chaos as anyone can be a taxi driver, no meters, no tracking.
I enjoyed my visit to Qatar last year and can't wait to go again. The people are friendly and actually smile. There are many things to do and I plan on checking out the desert safari.
DO the desert safari!!! You will love it. Great people and the sites are some of the most amazing I've ever seen in the Middle East. The inlet sea is breathtaking.
