KUWAIT CITY, Feb 17: In a recent verdict, the Misdemeanor Court has acquitted a citizen who was accused of impersonating a security officer while apprehending a girl with the aid of a device installed in his vehicle, reports Al-Anba Daily. The incident occurred when a patrol noticed the accused’s vehicle and the girl’s vehicle stopped on the side of the road. Upon inquiry, the girl claimed that the accused used a flashing device to stop her and requested documentation for her vehicle.

However, during the investigation, the accused refuted the allegations, asserting that he never portrayed himself as a security officer. He clarified that the seized device was not a “flasher” but a battery that emitted red and blue lights similar to those on police vehicles. He stopped the girl’s vehicle to prevent any potential damage to his own due to a nearby traffic accident.

Lawyer Fatima Safar, representing the accused, emphasized his consistent denial of the accusations throughout the investigation.
