16 February 2017 Driving License

The Criminal Court acquitted a Kuwaiti citizen who was accused of possessing and consuming drugs as well as driving his car under narcotic influence. During the court session, the defense counsel Lawyer Abdulmohsen Al-Qattan insisted that his client was arrested and searched illegally. He stressed that the only testimony against his client is of the arresting officer, who however had failed to follow proper procedures recognized by the law in handling his client. According to the case file, the arresting officer was patrolling Amghara area when he noticed a vehicle parked on the roadside. Based on suspicions, he went towards the car but he then saw the driver trying to hide something after he noticed the officer. This prompted the officer to search him and eventually arrest him after finding drugs on him and noticing his disoriented state.
