A "fabricated video" on TikTok leads an Asian waiter to Dubai criminal law

The Dubai Criminal Court has begun the trial of an Asian waiter who posted a fabricated video on the "TikTok" application that would disrupt public order, as he filmed a parking lot that might have a shopping mall or building and merged with it the sounds of gunshots and the screaming of panicked people.

The report of the Electronic Evidence Department of the General Department of Criminal Evidence in Dubai Police confirmed that the video was posted on the personal account of the accused in the application, and that the voices incorporated in the video clip have nothing to do with the location but deliberately tamper with them, which is considered a violation of public order.

By asking the accused about the police inference report and the investigations of the Public Prosecution, he admitted that he had photographed the clip himself in a car park in the Emirate of Dubai, then added to it the sounds of gunfire and screaming.

The accused deliberately filmed the video in a way that gives the impression that the incident is real, as he was shaking the camera as if he was fleeing gunfire, while the sounds that he combined were recorded and were often cut from a movie, or an incident that occurred outside the country.

It is clear from the content of the accused's account on the "Tik Tok" application that he fabricated the video in order to increase the number of his viewers and followers on the application, as it appears active on this application, and the number of his followers exceeds 11,400 people.
