Her brunette locks were put up into a messy bun and she sported a pair of black designer shades on her face. Meanwhile her daughter with Kanye West looked adorable in a pair of blue denim shorts and a white top as she was loaded into the vehicle. Critics of the businesswoman will be pleased to know that she did not forget about her young daughter at the hotel as she was accused of doing so earlier this week after attending Paris Fashion Week. On Friday she took to Twitter to set the record straight as she wrote to her 24.1 million followers: 'Heard on the radio today some story I forgot my daughter at our hotel as I'm leaving for the airport. Are you kidding me? I went to the car to make sure the car seat was in because the day before we had a car seat issue. Do u guys really think a 1year old would be inside the lobby by herself! Meanwhile, Kim looked to be in the giving spirit as she arrived to her family office carrying a big bag from Toys R Us as she wore tight-fitting workout gear on Friday. No doubt the brown bag contained playthings for North to enjoy as her mother strolled around in dark gym gear and a pair of chunky sunglasses. A gift for your girl?
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) 鈥?Image is everything in Dubai 鈥?even when fighting crime. Police in this desert metropolis have built up a high-horsepower arsenal of luxury sports cars and SUVs over the years to complement their fleet of green-and-white patrol cruisers. The high-end squad cars fit into the greater gearhead ethos of Dubai, where fire-engine red Ferraris growl at stoplights and convertible Rolls Royces prowl the boulevard ringing the world's tallest building. In this Thursday May 19, 2016 photo, Dubai police Lt. 140,000 BMW i8 during a demonstration in Dubai, United Arab Emirate. Police in Dubai have built up a high-horsepower arsenal of luxury sports cars and SUVs over the years to complement its fleet of green-and-white patrol cruisers. They say it is a way to reach out to the community and make their officers more accessible to the public in a country home to huge foreign workforce.
Lamborghinis also glisten through the glass of a massive new showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road, the country's longest thoroughfare that is a dozen lanes at its widest when cutting through Dubai. But don't expect their Lamborghini Aventador to show up if you rear-end someone. These police cars don't see duty at traffic accidents or engage in high-speed pursuits, said Dubai police Lt. Saif Sultan Rashed al-Shamsi, who oversees the tourist police's patrol section. Instead, al-Shamsi said the cars appear for special events across Dubai 鈥?or cruise areas frequented by tourists, offering visitors a glamorous image of the Dubai police. That also is a way for the city-state's police force to be more accessible and welcomed by the public in a country home to a huge foreign workforce, al-Shamsi said. Their photogenic qualities came out in force on a recent day as officers parked several outside the Armani Hotel in the 828-meter (2,717-foot) Burj Khalifa. 140,000 car, which flies to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The car's license plate read 2020, a nod to Dubai hosting 2020 World Expo, a world's fair held every five years.
Along for the ride were a two-door Bentley Continental and a Nissan GTR, its license plate the same as Dubai's police emergency number and the plastic wrap still around its backseat. Tim Dean, a 24-year-old tourist from St. Petersburg, Florida, used to the Ford Crown Victoria police cars on the streets of the United States, stopped to snap a quick photograph of the assembled exotic vehicles. That's true, especially as the force's vehicles also include brands like Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ferrari. However, one place you do see these cars is online. Videos of vehicles have millions of views and the cars themselves serve as characters in advertisements for Dubai events and in stunt clips. In the United States, many police departments use sports cars captured in drug seizures for anti-narcotic efforts in schools. Al-Shamsi declined to discuss whether the Dubai police cars were purchases or donations. There's been little academic study on what effect such cars have on actual policing and Dubai's effort may be more about projecting an image, said Dennis Kenney, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.
