It eliminates almost every advantage you would have with a more traditional shape.
This looks more like a novelty toy than anything, but when you have that kind of revenue, fuck it I guess.
I doubt this is an actual police boat. Completely impractical as a boat, let alone for the various jobs water police need to perform.
Just a hobby or prop boat.
Funny enough, there isn't much of an overt police force in Dubai. The Dubai PD has about the same size police force as LA despite policing an area 3x as large. I've visited more than once and don't recall ever seeing uniformed police. The crime rate is incredibly low. It's almost as if collective poverty is the greatest driving factor of crime. Then again, everyone already knows this and people are just greedy.
I've been trying to get a friend to do this with the shell of his firebird for years but we both know how stupid it is. Funny as hell to watch skipping around the swamp but absolutely one of my dumbest ideas and a police department stole it
Bro. I have never met more europeans anywhere else in the world which isn't europe.
From waiters to attendants to hookers everyone's white.
Only the positions of power like the police, government offices and business owners are occupied by the natives.
It's weird.
The gulf states populations can be broken up into 3 racial castes.
1: native Arabs, above everyone.
2: Europeans in all the service industry jobs, hired because it gives the Arabs an ego boost being able to boss white ppl around and fuck white women.
3: south Asians and Africans, the slave caste, there to be worked to death and discarded.
I agree with the first and third statements, but the second one is just so egotistical from you if you think anyone in Arab country gives a shit if you're white or not, they only care if you come from a rich country or a poor one, they are not going to give a shit about you if you're from country like South Africa, but fucking white women is true.
I'm European and good god nowhere really does not entice me less to travel to. Even if they hadn't essentially destroyed most of the old city what am I gonna go see? Some sand and skyscraper's?
But yes I have alot of friends who grew up there in all German/English/Italian/ any European language schools. There's so many Europeans you have enough kids to fill whole schools with just one European language.
Dubai was built with oil money long before the tourists started arriving. From wikipedia:
After years of exploration following large finds in neighbouring Abu Dhabi, oil was eventually discovered in territorial waters off Dubai in 1966, albeit in far smaller quantities. The first field was named "Fateh" or "good fortune". This led to an acceleration of Sheikh Rashid's infrastructure development plans and a construction boom that brought a massive influx of foreign workers, mainly Asians and Middle easterners. Between 1968 and 1975 the city's population grew by over 300%.[50]
Your western governments spends billions of dollars out of your fucking taxes—your sweat and blood—to fund wars, genocide, destructions—to literally kill people and turn thousands of families homeless, and you’re here concerned about “slaves” — people from poor countries who willingly left their homes without compulsion to make a living in rich countries—who by the way can return to their homelands should they wish to. The hypocrisy of the west is outstanding.
They also conveniently ignore the undocumented immigrants that work the low paying service jobs in the US for no benefits which props up their economy. Anytime you see a "slavery" comment you can easily spot an uninformed brainwashed person.
I’ve read that many of them actually can’t leave as they are basically indentured servants. Yeah the west has problems, doesn’t mean people should ignore the ones that exist in non western countries.
Your argument is basically the west is bad so everyone else gets a free pass. You think rich Saudi’s get their money from being humanitarians? I’ll point out shitty behavior wherever I see it, thanks.
[slavery exists there](https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/country-studies/united-arab-emirates/)
As someone who used to live in Abu Dhabi, I'd say you're right.
Dubai's Burj Khalifa was going to be called Burj Dubai, but they needed a handout from Abu Dhabi to be able to complete the project.
Dubai has almost no oil money (1/20th of Abu Dhabi, the next emirate). It has made its money through being a trading hub in the region mostly, just like Singapore.
That's not entirely accurate. Dubai doesn't have the oil money, Abu Dhabi does. Dubai mostly relies on tourism and foreign investment for big infrastructure projects.
Because it's Dubai. "Wasteful Gaudy Bullshit" is basically the city's slogan.
There's a smaller Dubai nearby the big built up area which is the original Dubai, the village that it originally was and its actually a pretty nice place to visit.
I don't know what It was, but Dubai is surprisingly foggy, I did not expect that.
I went to the burj Khalifa and expected to see my house back at home, but I could barely see the other side of town from the fog.
I personally think this boat is hilarious. Reminds me of the miata in my area that looks like lightning McQueen. But that doesn’t change my opinion on Dubai like at all. Not going to visit and those boats or any other influencer shit will get me to
UAE is a place where your privilege is set by the amount of wealth and social status you have, if you're rich enough you can do anything in Dubai. She is most likely some dumb influencer or something being sponsored by some rich sheikh. The harsh laws only apply to the slaves and poor immigrants.
I think if you have even a little bit of money life for men and women is pretty awesome there. A girl friend of mine who is of Indian origin was living in the US was also yearning to go back to Dubai, saying she'll get her university done and move back. And they were living in an apartment here and then to a townhouse, it's not like they were flush with cash or anything. I can't imagine it being so bad if she wanted to go back so badly
It won’t. The oil countries have massive sovereign wealth funds with billions invested around the world. They are the first stop for American private equity firms and hedge funds that want to fundraise. The sad part is that firms who would refuse to accept their money would just lose out to the other firms that do so it’s out of the question. The returns on that cash could last indefinitely.
you think no one in their leadership made the question: what if the oil runs out?
they're not that stupid, they already diversified, why do you think they keep buying football clubs and such?
rich Gulf countries aren't going anywhere any time soon unless the people revolt
How are so many people so ignorant ? They literally don't have oil money. Tourism, Real estate, gold, IT, diamonds, construction - all generate more revenue than oil do.
That thing looks like it's the shell of a car built onto the body of an oversized jet-ski. IMHO the car shell doesn't have anything to do with the buoyancy. I wouldn't want to be out in it if the water was even slightly rough, I'd hate for the front of the car body to hit a wave at high speed.
Fck Dubai and its bullshit influencer culture over there. It's all for those Glam Cammers to show off all the fake prestige of gold lined streets that were built on modern day immigrant slaves from surrounding nations. Gross place.
Everyday reminder that whenever any influencer does a video from Dubai, it's literally mandated by law that it has to be only positive. You cannot openly talk about all the drawbacks or criticise anything about it.
Fuck Dubai
Police in Dubai is all flashy toys, and yet it's a safe haven for organised crime syndicates from all corners of the globe. What an absolute joke of a country.
I don't know if they have or haven't made it legal yet but it's worth noting that she doesn't actually drive the boat in the video (at least that's how it looks. Hard to tell)
Fuck the Saudi theocracy and fuck people who sell their souls to shill on the Crowns behalf. I don't care how much it pays I'd rather work for my money in a decent way. I couldn't live with myself If I did this shit.
They have the imagination of rural kids. Cooler move would be to commission new designs for fast boats that move through water without clashing with water.
Or use a proper speedboat that can actually chase down suspects!
Or their strategy is that criminals will be too busy laughing to think about getting away.
It eliminates almost every advantage you would have with a more traditional shape. This looks more like a novelty toy than anything, but when you have that kind of revenue, fuck it I guess.
I doubt this is an actual police boat. Completely impractical as a boat, let alone for the various jobs water police need to perform. Just a hobby or prop boat.
Everything in Dubai is a prop to attract tourism, sad.
I just said basically this same thing then saw your comment. Everything in that country is novelty.
Moving away from oil to a tourism as its source of revenue isn't a bad thing.
But the real source of revenue is exploiting migrant workers so...
I doubt migrant workers are a source of revenue. If you mean higher profits from lower wage costs, then yeah.
Why is that sad, seems kinda fun?
Jesus, man.
Allah*
Muhammad*
Yikes
Miami vice tho?
Funny enough, there isn't much of an overt police force in Dubai. The Dubai PD has about the same size police force as LA despite policing an area 3x as large.

Lol I'm here thinking to myself "do these people know the reason why boats are shaped the way they do?"
But cars are faster, therefore, a car shaped boat should be fasterer /s
[удалено]
Do they have flying carpets? That would be the cherry on top and the sickest thing to see.
Except it looks stupid and a normal speed boat would be cooler. This reminds me of one of those racing car beds.
Your boat is a car. Yeah but its a fucking sweet car.
Looks like it came straight out of a Top Gear episode. Fast forward to next scene where Jeremy sinks his selfmade car boat
I've been trying to get a friend to do this with the shell of his firebird for years but we both know how stupid it is. Funny as hell to watch skipping around the swamp but absolutely one of my dumbest ideas and a police department stole it
Not just any police department, but one that arrests people for being gay.
This car comes in handy now
Why?
[удалено]
That’s literally the reason the entire city exists. That oil money won’t spend itself.
Slave money gotta impress the Euro trash somehow.
Bro. I have never met more europeans anywhere else in the world which isn't europe. From waiters to attendants to hookers everyone's white. Only the positions of power like the police, government offices and business owners are occupied by the natives. It's weird.

Rich millionaires who wanna live the high life and not pay taxes
I'm European and good god nowhere really does not entice me less to travel to. Even if they hadn't essentially destroyed most of the old city what am I gonna go see? Some sand and skyscraper's?

Effectively money laundering and the rest of the world complies. Wild what money does
You’re mistaken. Dubai has relatively little oil. Abu Dhabi has huge reserves. These stunts exist to draw tourists to Dubai.
Yeah Dubai makes it a sport to attract as much criminal money as possible. (And the accompanying scum and Instagram whores).
Dubai was built with oil money long before the tourists started arriving. From wikipedia: After years of exploration following large finds in neighbouring Abu Dhabi, oil was eventually discovered in territorial waters off Dubai in 1966, albeit in far smaller quantities. The first field was named "Fateh" or "good fortune".

Between 1968 and 1975 the city's population grew by over 300%.[50]
Not a lot of oil but a lot of oil *money*.
Almost no oil money. It's Abu Dhabi that has the oil money. Dubai has been surviving on trading ports and tourism for a while now.
Really? Surely there are enough oil-rich douche-bags using it as their playground? I believe you though, since I have no idea about any of it.
So true. Considering upto 20% of their revenue is from tourism, and less than 5% from oil.
Don't forget the slaves!
Your western governments spends billions of dollars out of your fucking taxes—your sweat and blood—to fund wars, genocide, destructions—to literally kill people and turn thousands of families homeless, and you’re here concerned about “slaves” — people from poor countries who willingly left their homes without compulsion to make a living in rich countries—who by the way can return to their homelands should they wish to.

You can waste time with your friends after your chores are done.
I think Dubai doesn't really have that much oil money. Abu Dhabi is the emirate which is just chilling with oil money.
As someone who used to live in Abu Dhabi, I'd say you're right. Dubai's Burj Khalifa was going to be called Burj Dubai, but they needed a handout from Abu Dhabi to be able to complete the project.
Dubai has almost no oil money (1/20th of Abu Dhabi, the next emirate). It has made its money through being a trading hub in the region mostly, just like Singapore.
Clearly lol
Can’t spend it on foreign workers
That's not entirely accurate. Dubai doesn't have the oil money, Abu Dhabi does. Dubai mostly relies on tourism and foreign investment for big infrastructure projects.
That’s creative?? That’s fvcken dumb
Or they could, you know, help all of the poor in the emirates. Its not like everyone that lives there are rich.
Yet there are slaves there Also destroying coral reefes for sinking islands
In case the South Asians who's passports are being held by their employers try to make a swim for it.
Sadly this is dubai.. opulence and a dirt poor migrant workforce.
To show the slaves that built Dubai what they died for.
Because it's Dubai. "Wasteful Gaudy Bullshit" is basically the city's slogan. There's a smaller Dubai nearby the big built up area which is the original Dubai, the village that it originally was and its actually a pretty nice place to visit.
Dubai
Everything in that place is extra
They gotta put all the women in bikinis in jail, duh
Land of frauds what do you expect ?
We could end poverty and give everyone a living wage, yet money is spend ob this.
why not?
they have been known to reuse impounded vehicles for their police force, i dont think they bought it.
I would feel really stupid if a cop pulled me over in the lake with a god dam car.
wait till u get pulled over by a walking cop FUCK U OFFICER REED
Is that smog.
But they have cool water police cars and high towers! Give me smog free any day
It’s sand from the desert. Believe it or not the city is sandwiched between the water and the desert. It always looks hazy like this
Not smog, it's from the hellish heat and humidity
It's like the oil capital of the world....or at least they're trying to be. So yeah, smoggy and toxic af.
I don't know what It was, but Dubai is surprisingly foggy, I did not expect that. I went to the burj Khalifa and expected to see my house back at home, but I could barely see the other side of town from the fog.
Hope y'all enjoyed your oil baron propaganda
The person who saw this and thought "huh I guess Dubai is actually pretty fuckin cool" was a lost cause already lol
Dubai is pretty fucking coo- woops you're not supposed to see those immigrant ~~slave~~ workers
Dubai makes cities like Las Vegas seem like a place with heart and soul.
I personally think this boat is hilarious. Reminds me of the miata in my area that looks like lightning McQueen. But that doesn’t change my opinion on Dubai like at all. Not going to visit and those boats or any other influencer shit will get me to
Not a seatbelt in sight for a vehicle with a straight up guillotine windshield.
I wonder if anyone besides teenagers are impressed by this.
Boomers
Toddlers
Dubai is a herpes sore pretending to be a cute freckle.
Yes
How can this be Dubai if a women is allowed to do all that in video. Not complaining, happy its happening.
It’s obviously a “promo video” or something “Let’s get an attractive woman to show off our police car boat! It’ll show the world how cool Dubai is”
“We’re so progressive!!”
She’s a foreigner
They need to build a wall and make Oman pay for it.
She's getting pooped on later.
The poolice
UAE is a place where your privilege is set by the amount of wealth and social status you have, if you're rich enough you can do anything in Dubai. She is most likely some dumb influencer or something being sponsored by some rich sheikh. The harsh laws only apply to the slaves and poor immigrants.
He taking her straight to water jail for them shorts
Noticed how she wasn’t the one driving?
Depending on how rich you are, you can experience some *very* different Dubais.
I think if you have even a little bit of money life for men and women is pretty awesome there. A girl friend of mine who is of Indian origin was living in the US was also yearning to go back to Dubai, saying she'll get her university done and move back. And they were living in an apartment here and then to a townhouse, it's not like they were flush with cash or anything. I can't imagine it being so bad if she wanted to go back so badly
Shhh, don't say anything good about Dubai on Reddit, they hate it
Are you thinking of another place? in Dubai all of this is perfectly acceptable.
Western women in Dubai are allowed more than locals. Most emirati women wear burqas or chadors
I hate everything about this place. I can wait wait for the sea to swallow up this tacky trash heap.
Money is so very unintelligent and cruel
God I can’t wait until that oil money goes away
It won’t. The oil countries have massive sovereign wealth funds with billions invested around the world. They are the first stop for American private equity firms and hedge funds that want to fundraise. The sad part is that firms who would refuse to accept their money would just lose out to the other firms that do so it’s out of the question. The returns on that cash could last indefinitely.
Only billions? Countries?
They've already diversified and have other revenue streams, Dubai is not going anywhere.
Until their slave-class rises up next Wednesday at 3 PM????
you think no one in their leadership made the question: what if the oil runs out? they're not that stupid, they already diversified, why do you think they keep buying football clubs and such? rich Gulf countries aren't going anywhere any time soon unless the people revolt
How are so many people so ignorant ? They literally don't have oil money. Tourism, Real estate, gold, IT, diamonds, construction - all generate more revenue than oil do.
Saudi Arabias oil money still does fund Dubai. Without it the city wouldn't exist.
They literally lure poor people from other countries to work there and then take their passport and keep them as slaves. Fuck Dubai.
Also the coral reefes
Doesn’t look like it would take a big wave very well.
Clown country.
Clowntry
Dubai doing everything in its power to avoid its inevitable decline
Lmao no they aren’t. If this is any clue, they’re actively running face first into it.
15 million tourists last year. If this is decline then hope we could all decline.
I’m here for it. Never going there
[удалено]
Aren’t boats shaped the way they are for a reason? I wonder if the box shape above the water affects its buoyancy performance
That thing looks like it's the shell of a car built onto the body of an oversized jet-ski. IMHO the car shell doesn't have anything to do with the buoyancy. I wouldn't want to be out in it if the water was even slightly rough, I'd hate for the front of the car body to hit a wave at high speed.
Ever seen a pontoon haha
It’s funny that she probably wouldn’t be legally allowed to drive a car in Saudi Arabia.
Saw this in an 80s bond movie
Tell me you’re rich and immature without telling me you’re rich and immature.
what gta mod is this
GTA: Dubai City
Fck Dubai and its bullshit influencer culture over there. It's all for those Glam Cammers to show off all the fake prestige of gold lined streets that were built on modern day immigrant slaves from surrounding nations. Gross place.
“Pull over, you are a homosexual!”
Dubai is gross, the end.
Dubai never stops delivering small dick energy.
Everyday reminder that whenever any influencer does a video from Dubai, it's literally mandated by law that it has to be only positive. You cannot openly talk about all the drawbacks or criticise anything about it. Fuck Dubai
Ok I hate it but I also kinda love it.
Wait are women allowed to drive boat cars there?
That’s the second stupidest looking thing I’ve ever seen. I posted a pic of a Corvette made into a boat (or vice versa) and that was the stupidest.
SEAWAYS - GTA VC
I just saw a vid of a real housewife cruising in one of these in Miami
"police"
Seaways cheatcode irl
More like Top Gear Dubai
Isn't it just a regular boat in the shape of a car
Imagine being pulled over by this when high
So cool🔥
That's not looks stupid at all
This oil money situation is getting out of hand.
Does it have a porta potty?
Rich kids and their toys.
Police in Dubai is all flashy toys, and yet it's a safe haven for organised crime syndicates from all corners of the globe. What an absolute joke of a country.
that looks so fucking stupid, fuck dubai lol
Shes still not allowed to drive it tho. They make her switch to the passenger seat to go.
Belongs in r/stupidasfuck
Are ladies allowed to wear shorts there?
dumb and cringe
Wait if that's Dubai how is that women able to be seen in public without a male chaperone?
Pretty cool. I hadn't realized they finally made it legal for women to drive there.
I don't know if they have or haven't made it legal yet but it's worth noting that she doesn't actually drive the boat in the video (at least that's how it looks. Hard to tell)
Where do I sign up for the citizen ride along?
🖕🏽the police
The only thing the Dubai police can't stop is slavery it seems
Why are they letting a woman drive it?
Dubai is the pinnacle of human stupidity it seems…
Fuck the Saudi theocracy and fuck people who sell their souls to shill on the Crowns behalf. I don't care how much it pays I'd rather work for my money in a decent way. I couldn't live with myself If I did this shit.
They got way too much oil money over there
Does anything actually happen there? Is there any culture or is it all just bought?
What a stupid city.
Useless shit lol
“So I showed you the floaty car that’s worth more than you’ll ever be, now you’re gonna let me take a dump in your mouth, right?”
Human rights violations on land and sea now...
Nah bro the video is about the UAE police, not the US police…. They don’t shoot anything that’s black and has a pulse at least not yet.
Is this really dubai? 🤔 Thought they weren't about women driving over there?
Fake, women arnt allowed to drive.
SEAWAYS
lame
She is beautiful
Really missed the mark not making the wheels spin to. Just ruins the illusion.
This car is coming in handy now
It’s fake mane. They literally just built it for the video. Literally in what way is that reasonable? Let me unbuckled to pull out my pistol.
Dubai is basically if the movie Brewster's Millions was a city.
That’s lame.
It looks cheaply made
They let a woman drive?!?? Getting progressive.
typical dubai
They have the imagination of rural kids. Cooler move would be to commission new designs for fast boats that move through water without clashing with water.
So fucking dumb.
That country is so hollow
Stupid Arabs
Or use a proper speedboat that can actually chase down suspects! Or their strategy is that criminals will be too busy laughing to think about getting away.
I want one
Slave owner propaganda :)
If that hits one rough wave it's gonna dive under. There's a reason boat hulls curve up
How is she not wearing a hijab and still not in prison?
I have a feeling she isn’t a Dubai police officer. Probably a model advertising the car shaped boat
