Dubai: A Filipino nurse went on trial at the Dubai Court of First Instance on Sunday for forging a parking card and using it,

The 28-year-old defendant used a computer to copy a Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) parking ticket so he could get to park for free.
###
An RTA inspector who was on duty on Al Wasl Road in Jumeirah in August 2019 spotted a suspicious looking parking ticket placed on the dashboard of a car.
###
“I checked the card and couldn’t identify the details. I called my department and they told me the card had expired and that the suspect’s car did not have any pass,” the inspector said in records.
###
He then called Dubai Police who summoned the defendant for questioning.
###
“The defendant admitted to forging the ticket by printing it and then labelling the card and placing it on the dashboard to con the inspector,” a policeman testified.
###
Dubai Public Prosecution charged the defendant with forging the ticket and using it.

The verdict expected on January 28.
