Another police officer said that the defendant showed him a health card which was not his own when he stopped him for making noise with his car in Al Safa area.

The following day, the police officer stopped two Emiratis outside the defendant’s house. As the officer called a sergeant on phone to come to the area, the accused came out angrily and asked what was going on.

He began shouting at the officers and asked them to leave.

However, when questioned by the officers later, the accused admitted that he used a health card which was not his. He admitted that what he did was wrong and promised not do it again.
