Recording Police or People in Public in Morocco Can Get You in Serious Trouble Know Your Rights & Limits
Just wanted to drop a quick but important reminder, because I’ve been seeing a lot of people in Morocco thinking that “since it’s public, I can record whatever I want.” That’s not how it works here.
Recording police officers (or any security forces) while they’re on duty, even in public, can be considered a criminal offense under Moroccan law. This especially applies if you post the footage online, share it on social media, or use it in a way that might “harm the image of the state” or “violate personal privacy.” Yes, even if no faces are shown.
Recording people without their consent (even in public places) can also land you in trouble. If someone files a complaint saying you filmed them without permission, you might face legal consequences under privacy and defamation laws.
Moroccan Penal Code Articles 447.1, 447.2, and 447.3 deal with the unauthorized use of someone's image or voice. The penalties range from fines to prison sentences (yes, even for “just a TikTok”).
Even if the video goes viral and you're not the one who posted it originally, you can still be charged if you recorded it.
What is allowed?
Recording landscapes, events, your own vlogs, etc.
Taking general footage in public as long as you’re not focusing on people’s faces or recording police/authorities.
Filming police is only safe if you're in a life-threatening or emergency situation and even then, don't publish it online without legal advice.
DON'T RECORD THE POLICE FOR FUCK SAKE IT WILL GIVE THEM ADVENTAGE TO PUT YOU IN TROUBLES

Do police officers in Morocco have the right to ask you to unlock your phone and search it?
A few months ago, I was stopped by a police officer while I was picking up my brother from the airport, it was at the first roundabout, and the situation was chaotic because of Eid — the roads were completely packed; I was simply waiting for an opening to enter the roundabout when some gendarmes stopped me… apparently because I had turned off my indicator way before entering the lane to continue driving... Yes, really !
They stopped me and followed the usual procedure — I handed over the vehicle documents, etc.. while one of the officers went off to write the report, I took out my phone to record a short video with my brother to share the moment with our other brother, one of the police officers came up to me and asked if I was recording, I told him I was recording myself and my brother, he started yelling, giving orders and demanded that I unlock my phone so he could check it — that son of a b*tch
Instinctively, and in good faith, I unlocked my phone to show him the video — but he snatched it out of my hands and started scrolling through my fucking gallery
Looking back, I can somewhat understand his reaction: they had just stopped a luxury car, and based on what I saw, it seemed like they might have accepted some money from the driver
I still have the police report, so the officer's name — or at least one of his colleagues' names — should be on it, tho I’m not trying to file a complaint or whatever, I just genuinely want to know: Did he have the LEGAL right to take my phone and search it as if I were some sort of drug smuggler or criminal?

Why there is hate towards moroccan women who marry a foreigner
I see it a lot these days , a hate toward any woman who marries a foreigner , and gets worse if he is a Gulf arab , why do people even care , is it misogyny? Racism ? Or a mix of both with a springle or self-frastuation and boredom

Trying to make friends
Being 19 and having no friends to hang out with, especially in a big city like Casablanca, hits hard. It feels like I’m missing out on what’s supposed to be the peak of the male experience. Last night, around 10 pm ,I was out riding my bike, music in my ears, just trying to escape that heavy feeling of loneliness.
When I passed by NEVADA, I saw a group of four guys around my age (18–21) talking and hanging out. At first, I just rode past them. But after a few minutes, I turned around, I had finally gathered the courage to try and talk to them.
I walked up, told them my name and age, and did my best to keep a conversation going. They said they were waiting for another friend, though he didn’t end up showing up due to some issue. I ended up spending 2 to 3 hours with them, just walking and talking. And honestly? I was having such a good time. I hadn’t felt that alive in a while.
But now I can’t stop overthinking. What did they really think of me? Just some random guy trying too hard to make friends? I barely know them, and yet I already feel afraid of losing the chance to become close. I have their numbers and Instagrams now, but I don’t know what the next move should be.
If they actually become my friends… I feel like I could finally live the kind of life Ive always dreamed of, full of real connections, memories, laughter. I’m scared to fall back into loneliness. I don’t want to grow older and regret not taking a chance when I could have. I want to live my youth like everyone else seems to.

Any way to send a parcel from Morocco to Russia despite current restrictions?
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to send a parcel from Morocco to Russia, but I’ve run into some issues. I checked with Chronopost here in Morocco, and they told me that shipments to Russia are currently suspended, likely due to the ongoing geopolitical situation and related restrictions.
Has anyone here found a workaround or alternative courier that still delivers from Morocco to Russia? I’m looking for something reliable even if it’s a bit slower or more expensive. Also, if you’ve done this recently, did you run into any customs problems or paperwork complications?
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on Morolingo ?
Salam. Labas 3laykum ?
So, recently I was on the trip to Morocco, and I just returned home a few days ago. It was a good experience, though one of the things that keeps me intrigued till this day is the language used by Moroccans. As I found out, they speak Darija, which is a very distinct dialect of Arabic. I was kinda struggling to understand what were the locals saying at that time, as I have very little knowledge of the Darija
One day, I thought to myself, "what if there's a dictionary for Darija ?". So, I searched and found a couple of apps that I thought are interesting, including the one named Morolingo.
So, Morolingo was kinda like Duolingo, in terms of its learning design, but it focuses more on learning Darija and Amazigh. I was excited. To me, its a good app, except for one thing ; the app used romanized writing of Arabic, and they sometimes used numbers to represent a letter, for example 7 represents the letter ح. Where I'm from, we never use numbers even when we romanize Arabic Language. For example, for the letter ح and ه، we simply just use "h" and figure out which is which.
I really enjoy the app, overall. However, I've come to realize at that moment that it was the last night of me being in Morocco. Man, what a loss. Trip to Morocco from Malaysia wasn't really cheap, you know lol ? Despite that, I still use the app till this day
So, anyone who knows about Morolingo, what are your thoughts about this app ? Is it accurate and reliable to use as a Darija-learning app ?

How do you find/ deal with stingy people ?(z9rama)
Just a very silly story that happened yesterday but i can't stop giggling thinking about it and i wanna know what would your stream of thoughts be like and how would you react in a similar situation.
Had lbent i had just known her about a month db. Yesterday we were going to uni mchina ntsnaw tobiss but t3ettel. Ana kant 3ndi 5dhs sarf w 100dhs so guetliha wach 3ndk chi sarf nemchiw f taxi. at first gatlya ma3ndich. Knt bagha nsarref but dik lblassa li kna fiha makanoch l7want. then after a min gatli blati nchof ch7al 3ndi w jbdat 4 dhs. gueltiha sf zidi 2 dhs 3la 5dhs dyali w nmchiw f taxi gatlii lla mn hna kiddi b 8 dhs gtliha sf bhal 7 bhal 8 she was like nooo yalah ntmchaw w ncheddoh mn l fo9 bach ydina b 7dhs hhhhhhhhhhhhh woowww okay i was flabbergasted ngl.
En bref and for context i have dealt with some skin allergies which caused sensetivity issues thus i can't stay under the sun for a long time. so i told her i've got health issues i can't walk hadik tri9 kamla w chemch dyal 13h fo9 rassi 3la wdit 1dh?? W even if that wasn't the case i wouldn't do that sarahahhhhhhhhhh. when i tell youu she got soo freaking mad w bdat kat3elli f sotha w katjerrni aggressively trying to convince me ntl3o ncheddoh mn lfo9 bzzeez WHYY bach hya tzid 2dhs instead of 3dhs???? i could not believe my eyes i just stood there in confusion trying not to burst out laughing.

I wish I could be 16 again and do it all differently
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about being 16 again—high school, friends, that carefree feeling of life ahead of me. I miss it. I feel like I didn’t fully enjoy it while I was in it. I was too caught up in stuff that didn’t matter, or maybe I didn’t take the time to appreciate the little moments with friends, the dumb jokes, the late-night talks, or just being young without pressure.
If I could go back, I’d be more present. I’d talk to people more, take more risks, laugh harder, care less about what others thought, and just… live.
Anyone else ever feel like that? Like you’d give anything to rewind—not to fix everything, but just to relive it and feel it again?
Ps: I’m 31

I messed big time in my life I wasted a lot of money on nothing I m addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, pornography, doom scrolling … I’m dropped out from uni I didn’t learn any valuable skills or made any good friends
In money i made abt 70k$ in total and wasted them all I m down to 1k$ not even
I want to start all over again I am 23 right now and the guilt of regret is eating me up all the chances and opportunities i had that i wasted
I did some good things tho like supporting my family financially for the past 5 years But i realized it now i have never took my life seriously and never took the right path I was always looking for shortcuts
I want to start a new from scratch and build something meaningful I will stop all the bad habits ( addictions …) and add new habits but the problem is i feel a strong resistance when trying to change I also can’t stop comparing myself to others in my age who advanced very far and here i am starting from 0
I want to take Bac Libre with good grades and study abroad ? Is it possible ?
I can save money for the blockage and paying university but will i be accepted or is my age will be an issue since i will be 24 when getting my bac libre ?

My dad ignores me
Hi I am a 20 years old f and the past year or two my dad keeps ignoring me I don't even know why, whenever I talk to him he pretend like I don't exist the only time he talk to me is when he wants to ask me something when I start talking he will listen until he is satisfied and then ignore me again even if I am still talking as a response I keep saying things to just make him angry just to get a reaction out of him, and even tho it hurts a lot I just learned to live with it until recently around a few months ago my mom and brothers are doing the same, it's like they have seen how he treats me and just think that's is the norm, keep in mind that they are not angry or anything they just ignore my existence until they want something, and it hurt so bad I don't know what to do I keep crying every night until I pass out it's even getting to my health I get stressed my head always hurt and I am always tired, it's getting to my normal life I am getting back to the state I worked so hard to get out of I keep laying down in bed all day I don't go to uni I don't eat except one time a day I don't wake up till 12 I have been doing really good and then boom I am sinking back again, I think the reason I am reacting this badly is that I am someone who talks a lot I love having convos I love joking around and laughing but being Ignored hurts .
If anyone knows what I should do please let me know .
