News: Female driver jailed over middle finger-flashing at off-duty Dubai cop

A female driver has been jailed for a month after she flicked her middle finger at an off-duty policeman in a Dubai car park.
The 30-year-old Emirati woman was convicted of public indecency at Dubai Misdemeanours Court on Thursday.
The court heard she was driving through the car park at Mirdif City Centre about 10.30am in September when she tried to pass the off-duty policeman, who was stationary and waiting to park.
The 24-year-old officer, also Emirati, said that he had gone with a friend to see a movie and was stuck in a line of traffic when the woman tried to get past him.
He said the Emirati woman pulled up behind him and started flashing her headlights.
“There was a traffic jam and she kept using her horn and flashing the lights, but I couldn’t move as there was a car in front of me blocking the way,” he said.
“I looked at her and she waived her arm then showed me her middle finger.”
