Posting photographs, videos or making comments on social media that invade someone's privacy can attract a hefty fine of up to Dh500,000 with six months of imprisonment.
Here are three activities to avoid so you can be more mindful of the privacy of those around you:
1. Taking photos of accidents
The authority has asked residents to avoid taking pictures or videos of accidents or their victims as it is an infringement of their privacy.
Taking such photographs and sending them or posting them online is a crime.
