Legal Advice: To be careful is everyone’s duty Thursday, 14 July 2011 00:51

 Looking at the low crime rates in Qatar and the prevalence of quiet and tranquility and peace among citizens of this country, one can say that it has created an impression of tolerance, forgiveness and safety among the people. You will find a person leaving his car on the road going for his needs in shops, and some of them do not close the doors of their cars as they do not close the doors of houses and shops, and other things like this. This reflects, as we have already said, the safety and security felt by everyone. But we have to pay attention not to make ourselves vulnerable to any harm, and therefore, we point out also to take legal actions which are determined by law upon the loss of identification documents of individuals, as soon as possible without delay. If you have lost your ID card you must report immediately, and the person who will find it may misuse it, and the owner will be questioned about this abuse, and nothing will exempt him from the punishment in this case but the report that he has registered. The majority of people do not file the complaint but at the time of visa renewal apply for another ID card. Therefore, we must recognise the importance of these documents and their authority in dealing, as the matter is with driving licenses and cars documents, and for the importance of such reports there is a special section called the department of lost and found of the police, it provides official certificates that work with the official authorities, that’s why alertness is a must.
