Do you mean Dubai, UAE? In the middle east?
I know a guy who got arrested there. NAVCENT had to personally come get his ass out of jail. They ended up trading a boat load of smuggled dates for his release (no shit....not an exaggeration) and he was tried in absentia at a later date.
He was sentenced to 5 years in prison (I think, .....thereabouts) but he'll never have to actually serve them as long as he stays out of their country.
He went to admirals mast and got shit all over.
Bottom line: don't fuck up and act a fool in other countries. Nothing good will happen.
