Grooverider was arrested 24 November 2007 in Dubai after flying in for a nightclub gig with 2.16g of cannabis and a pornographic DVD in his luggage.
Grooverider had been employed on a freelance basis and has not been paid by BBC Radio 1 since November.[4] Four years is the minimum sentence for drug trafficking in the United Arab Emirates. “I must have forgotten the spliff,” he said in an interview. “It was a small amount. Back home I would not even get prosecuted.”
On February 19, 2008, Grooverider was sentenced to four years imprisonment.
He was pardoned and released on Wednesday 3 September 2008, during the holy month of Ramadan that traditionally sees the pardoning of select prisoners in UAE. [5] In an interview with BBC, Grooverider described his experience as “appalling” and described the conditions in which he was placed.

Looks like we should all be cautious about even just taking our equipment out of the states. The DHS (Department of Homeland Security) have just disclosed their policies on someone bringing in "any device capable of storing information in digital or analog form", which by their definition a lot of equipment I use would fall under.

Basically it says for any reason if they feel like it, they can take your equipment and hold it indefinitely.

also you can get busted in Dubai for having any illegal substance in you blood or urine.
this includes your “normal” illegal drugs & things like cough syrup w/codine & melitonin
to get a work permit you must have an aids test.
i’m even reading “Drinking or possession of alcohol without a Ministry of Interior liquor permit is illegal and could result in arrest and/or fines and imprisonment”
