Damn, I would totally move here for sure.
Horrifying. I don't know how anyone can look at that and not get a chill down their spine. It looks like the start of every dystopian sci fi movie I ever saw.
You think traffic congestion is bad when a city is spread out over hundreds of miles and thousands of km? Wait til you only have one single two-way 8 lane superhighway that 9 million people use for commute to every location!
Gotta love all the moonshoot selling points simplified into broad proclamations with no fucking explanation as how how any of it is remotely feasible, or is in any way in touch with reality.
Might be the gun that's pointed at their head.Why does the narrator seem like they are crying ?

Exactly my first thoughtThe cops that police it:
i love futuristic cyberpunk cities but not sure i'd want to live in one.
Now, where have I seen this before
Totally this.Horrifying. I don't know how anyone can look at that and not get a chill down their spine. It looks like the start of every dystopian sci fi movie I ever saw.
Please! Look at our futuristic city ideas that will never happen, but kind of make us look progressive!
IGNORE THE MURDERED JOURNALIST.

Dredd would be a compassionate social worker in comparison to actual Saudi law enforcementThe cops that police it:
The criminal justice system of Saudi Arabia is strictly based upon Sharia law which reflects an interpretation of Islam.
A few crimes that result in the death penalty include:
Because the law is derived from a religious foundation, all crimes against Islam are considered especially heinous and almost always result in the death penalty.
- Adultery
- Apostasy (Religious Abandonment)
- Armed Robbery
- Blasphemy
- Burglary (Hand Amputation)
- Carjacking
- Hijacking
- Drug Smuggling
- Fornication
- Home Invasion
- Sodomy, Homosexuality and Lesbianism
- Idolatry
- Murder
- Rape
- Sedition
- Sexual Misconduct
- Sorcery (2012)
- Terrorism
- Treason
- Jihad
- Witchcraft
Law Enforcement (Policing)
Policing in Saudi Arabia is divided into three forces which in the Regular Police, The Secret Police and the Mutawa, or Religious Police.
Regular Police
The regular police are exactly what the name says: simply police. They are tasked with the job of day-to-day law enforcement. The official name is the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and they are similar to the local and state law enforcement we see here in the United States. Because of the instability in the region, it is not uncommon to see many police officers carrying heavy weaponry including AK-47's.
Secret Police (Mabahith)
The Secret Police in Saudi Arabia are what the government law enforcement agencies are here in the United States, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The main task of the Mabahith are anti-terrorism and political stability. They are in essence the covert spies who target certain individuals they believe are a threat to their country. The Mabahith have been under immense scrutiny as they are believed to be responsible for a multitude of Human Rights Abuse.
Mutawa
The Mutawa are not trained law enforcement. Instead they are a group of men who task themselves with the job of enforcing Islamic codes. Because the Islamic religion is highly respected in Saudi Arabia, the Mutawa are in a sense considered untouchable. They are in many cases escorted by police forces when enforcing certain codes. They do not have the ability to arrest individuals themselves, however they can order to proper law enforcement that a person should be detained, and they will.
