I knew this would happen,
I hoped it wouldn't, but was pretty sure it would.
I believe it's part backlash from the financial crisis, and part of the increased influence from Abu Dhabi after the Dubai bailout.
Dubai is getting more conservative.
Money always has strings.
Anyway, from what I gather - a British couple were thrown in jail for kissing in a restaurant.

Not for inappropriately touching, but for kissing.
The article doesn't say if his tongue was down her throat or not.
I haven't heard anything about them being warned to stop, then arrested when they didn't stop.
It just says they were kissing, an Emirati woman complained, so they were arrested and sentenced to a month in jail.
Nice.
