ok, here is the story. End of December 2019 I was filming different things( like mountains and nature for my youtube channel) and I've decided to film a UAE flag with police building on the background, without knowing that i not allowed. Police saw me, I wasn't hiding. They told me that is not allowed and put me in police station jail. I've spent there 2 days before they get me to the court. Ten I was released, they took my passport in jail and told me that the case will be under investigation. After, they told me that my passport and camera was transferred to Abu Dhabi court. And only now they finally called me and told me that I have to come to Abu Dhabi court on Wednesday. So my question is: what should I expect now?

We would like to inform you that according to the Criminal Procedures Law No. 35 of 1992, and the Federal Penal Code, first, the punishment is determined according to the result of the investigation and the circumstances with which the crime was committed, and the court for trial.
According to the law it is forbidden to take photos and videos of other people without taking permission from them, because doing this is a crime.
According to Decree No. 5 of 2012 related to the law of electronic crime, residents who violate the privacy of others can face a fine of photography in the UAE that ranges between 150 and 500 thousand AED, in addition to imprisonment for a period of at least one year.
Moreover, such actions are considered a major crime committed by some for the purpose of fun and entertainment without knowing that they will be subject to legal prosecution.
That's including the governmental and police places, so it is expected to impose a fine against you estimated by the court without any penalty against you.

It is related with the Prosecution investigation and the position you took photos for, you have to submit approval to the court that you didn't intend to do something bad but you are well-meaning, in order to aviod being jailed, but only fine.
