Sheer madness
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 20 - 12 - 2015


Al-Madinah
Take a picture or a video clip of a traffic violation in the Indian capital and you can win a reward. This is the summary of a new project launched by the Delhi Traffic Police, where citizens are encouraged to use their mobile phone cameras to take pictures of traffic violations and submit them through a new application to the police.
In contrast to this approach, our society tends to criminalize the recording with cameras or mobile phones of violations of law by the public or an offense by state employees.
One of the preachers issued a fatwa saying those who race to photograph people in fatal accidents and drowning violate the sanctity of the dead. This is despite the fact that in the filming of the accidents or drowning there is prevention of damage that falls on society as a whole, including the rights of the dead. In addition, modern technology can edit the pictures or videos to achieve the required result without causing any damage.
On the other hand, it seems that some parents, despite their reservations about their daughters or wives driving, are proud to push their children into driving even if they did not reach the statutory age without realizing the risks of such a mentality. A child may not be able to recognize or anticipate the dangers on the road.
Social media recently spread a video of a Saudi child driving at 90 miles per hour. The child in the video was extremely happy to drive at such speed. British newspapers commented that what the child did was part of "a new state of madness" in the Kingdom.
Finally, I do not know whether to thank whoever alerted us on the mad driving by children by posting the video, or consider this as an act that violated the child's privacy and personal freedom.
