Man violates law: Ahmadi patrol officers, in pursuing a car with the aim of
issuing its driver with a traffic violation ticket, were surprised to find
sweetmeats and cold drinks beside the car’s Asian driver. The man also appeared
to have also been smoking while driving and was, therefore, referred to Abu
Khalifa Police Station where he was charged with violating the law which bans
eating, drinking or smoking in public places during the daytime hours of
Ramadan, say security sources. In a continuing scenario of persons violating the
mentioned law, two Kuwaiti youth, who were caught eating in a public place at
10.00 am by personnel from the Capital patrols were referred to the Capital
police station, add the sources.

Like you said:” no matter how crazy it is"(the law). In fact, it's not only crazy but unconstitutional and defeats de purpose of the practice. This improvised law contradict article 35 of the Kuwaiti constitution regarding the Freedom of Religion and Belief. Fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is supposed to be an act of faith, not a legal obligation. If you get caught, you will be jailed without being allowed legal assistance and a fair trial.
Another improvised law is the one prohibiting people from selling internet calling cards in Kuwait. For most low income workers who want to call their family, internet call is the only affordable choice. Unfortunately, it poses a threat to the Ministry of Communication’s monopoly. If you get caught, again, you will be jailed and deported without being allowed legal assistance and a fair trial. Should such cases be tried, the constitutionality of these so called laws could be challenged very easily.
