Liverpool Lou

No, his story was that it was BMW. Unless he made it up.

An abandoned car, that's it?...how dreadful. So you made up the rest of it about the shirtless drunk, the scrounging drunk, the phlegm-covered drunk, the threatening Yank, the if-looks-could-kill women then?

Sound more like exaggeration and imagination.

Unless you bother to read the link that the OP came from! Full details and full outcome, and the point explained.

Such as what, specifically?

What is a stupid visa? They're what his own country also insists upon for visitors! Oddly enough, it also has politics, stupid movies and music and some terrible drivers!

Yeah, right. Tens of thousands? Over what period and where did you see those stats? Perhaps there are stats that show that in the same period your "tens of thousands" were replaced by new arrivals?

Thailand is just as bad sometimes as whichever country you're referring to in those aspects!

The unsuccessful impeachment that did not convict him, you mean?

Exactly like the bloke currently in the position, then.

His opinions do not need citations, by definition. They're opinions.

That would be the impeachment in which he was not convicted, yes?

Maybe they do but is it illegal? Do you have any evidence that your claim is factual?

Your talking nonsense. Its illegal. Is it? Based on what? Where is it laid down that it is illegal for a senior IO to use his discretion when issuing extensions?

What do you base that on if the application shows a local address (which they do)? When I say what's the basis for that I don't mean that it's just your opinion that it should be.

yeah I've already conceded that! You think that it could ever be enforced if an accused simply said that they did not see whatever it was they were accused of not assisting with?

No its not legal. There are legitimate agencies that take all the proper paperwork and proof of the 800000 baht in the bank and process it for you. Im pretty sure doing an extension thru an agent where they fake your money is technically illegal although not enforced. Did I say that it was legal? No, I did not (I didn't say that it was illegal, either), I said that the extension would be legitimate. What I did say was that if an IO (acting in his official capacity) authorises an extension, then that extension is a legitimate extension. "Im pretty sure doing an extension thru an agent where they fake your money is technically illegal although not enforced". Why are you pretty sure of that, what do you base that on? "Fake your money"? Are you saying that when those extensions are issued there was no money in those accounts? You're wrong, it's real money and that money is in the account when the extension approval is given.

What's the difference between a camera shooting a livestream and one that isn't? In terms of the "privacy" that is being discussed, there's no difference.

So if you're sat on a park bench I can squat on my haunches in front of you and put my face one inch from yours and that's fine because there is no private space in public? I didn't say that would be ok, but, then, no one is doing what you hypothesised.

There's no other way to get an extension...unless they're doing Bluetooth extensions now! Every agent requires the passport in order for it to be sent to Immigration.

If it's an established agency, it's probably ok, it's a very common business and if an Immigration officer gives you an extension of stay in your passport, it is a legitimate visa extension.

That his mate wasn’t charged… Why do you think ‘his mate’ wasn’t charged? I've no idea, perhaps the Korean didn't want to press charges on the other, I don't know, but it's completely irrelevant to the fine that was levied on the one that was charged.

I've already addressed that. So have I.

You have no private space in public and people with your attitude of disrespecting others' rights in public deserve "what is coming" to them also.

"I don't care if it's illegal". It's not illegal! "If some "YouTuber" ... sticks a camera in their face" No one "stuck a camera in anyone else's face".
