Dubai detains 79 for indecent behavior on beaches,

I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this. A British woman is going to be possibley serving up to 6 years in jail.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Westerners were getting too racy on the beaches of this Persian Gulf tourist haven, and a police crackdown on topless sunbathing, nudity and other indecent behavior has resulted in 79 arrests in recent days.
Undercover officers are strolling the sand while others stand guard in new watchtowers to enforce the social mores of this Muslim city-state, which is a booming business center that is attracting growing hordes of foreign tourists.

Authorities said they began the decency campaign after police detained a British man and a woman who were allegedly having sex on one of Dubai's sprawling beaches earlier this month.

Over the past two weeks, police have detained a total of 79 people whose behavior was "disturbing families enjoying the beach," Zuhair Haroun, a spokesman for Dubai's Criminal Investigation Department, said Monday.

Different countries have different policies. In Singapore, you can be thrown in jail for littering.
I think everyone should be aware of the laws of the country they are visiting.

If these women couldn't manage to keep their tops on, or refrain from having sex in public, they should vacation elsewhere. Surely they knew how Muslims feel about such things. Idjuts.

I agree, sex on the beach in a muslim country???

Next time they should just order the drink, much safer that way :laugh2:

I hope the woman doesn't get 6 years, but again, you do have to be aware of laws in other countries.

Of course, the drink could lead to the sex... :laugh2:

The beach is a great place for it- especially at night.
