KUWAIT CITY, Dec 27: Ministry of Interior has taken necessary steps to ensure the New Year celebrations this Saturday night will be devoid of any violations of the law and traditions of the Kuwaiti society.According to sources, securitymen will raid places suspected of holding illegal and illicit parties throughout the country especially in camps, chalets, flats, livestock pens, farms and other such places.They revealed that the General Department for Criminal Evidences will form teams to observe and arrest those who do not abide by the law and regulations and refer them to the Public Prosecution for necessary action to be taken against them.Meanwhile, Attorney-General at the Public Prosecution Counsel Mohammed Al-Duaij said policemen are not authorized to search vehicles and open the car boot unless motorists are caught redhanded doing illegal work or with permission from the Public Prosecutor, reports Arab Times daily.Al-Duaij said motorists can refuse to allow the policemen to inspect their vehicle unless there is a warrant from the Public Prosecution, which means the man in uniform will have to wait until completion of the procedures. He added the lack of experience among some policemen is the reason why some suspects are acquitted citing lack of evidence or faulty inspection procedures.By Munaif Nayef Al-Seyassah Staff
