Text message from the Dubai Police

You can't hide from big brother in this country.
Right before I walk in to The Great Kabab Factory in Old Town for an early dinner, my partner shows me his phone and asks me if I was joking with him. His iPhone just received a text message from the Dubai Police.
Okay, so now I'm thinking what the hell is this about. How did the Dubai Police get his number, why the hell are they texting him, and why did try have to text him in Arabic. That's great, we are foreigners, and the police gives us a ticket in Arabic and follows that up 2 days later with a text that we can't read. Awesome.
We call the police and tell them that this text message was sent to him by them, but his phone doesn't have Arabic language so he doesn't even know what it says. They put him on hold and he talks to someone else, and this guy tells him "I'm busy with paper work, call me later,
but don't worry if we want you we will get you." haha what the hell? These guys are like, we will send you a text message to let you know were looking for you, so you've got time to run, but don't worry we will find you in the end.
Tomorrow - hit the embassy and say hi.
The saga continues...
