scorecard Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 4 hours ago, Bob12345 said: Is it really that easy. Then why more people are not doing it yet? Ah, there is the answer. You still need to wait for the RTP to do something. And why would they do something? Why would they process your picture and try to find the person who did it? What is in it for them? If it really was this easy, I would send the video of my dashcam to the RTP and on the 10-minute clip of me driving 4 km through town you can easily see about 100 traffic violations ranging from running red lights, motorbikes without helmet, no use of turn signals, cars with broken front-, tail- or break lights, etc. The video will be sharp enough to read the number plates, and with a ticket price starting at 100 baht I would expect to make 5,000 baht AT LEAST with every trip to the 7-11. Tell me when I can start, i don't mind driving around 1-2 hours a day doing this. If they want I can even write all violations down for them in Excel with the number plates and fines. And watch out for some midnight revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny1990 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Nice business model.How about this one i follow a farang who smokes in the street i film him when he throws the bud away. Then i confront him with my video and ask 1000 bht for not report him with tourist police for littering? Does this activity requires a work permit? I need 3-5 customers a day?

Work permit for extortion/blackmail, not sure, you might have to look at the list of protected occupations.

Shiver Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 A gold shop near me has those metal welded box section things painted red/white and chained to the street posts (2 of them), that are meant to allow pedestrians space to get past the parking. Apparently she rents/buys them from 'the authorities'. They are most certainly on the road, but because she sought permission then the law is cast aside. Seems to work.

juice777 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 If this go's country wide and you don't need a work permit. I am going to get me a pair of those spy sunglasses and walk about once a day at rush hour.I will be going after every God dam selfish pieces of crap who think it's perfectly fine to jump a red light and don't give me enough time to cross the road. There is one Rd in particular what I cross every day. And they think because they are turning left they can Ingore the red light because pedestrians don't matter. Then after that I take a walk and just take a glance with my spyglass at any scum on the pavement. Edit if you need a work permit I will quite happily not take the money to catch the red light jumpers while people are crossing the Road. Give me a excuse to buy the glasses and pretend I am James Bond. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean Bob, that's something I could never make out when traveling from South just before Bangkok,not now, there is a semi permanent road block or police screening, the times I have been pulled over and accused of speeding(lies) I was always amazed because ninety percent of the traffic was always overtaking me.

MyFriend You Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 9 hours ago, rkidlad said: I used to live in an apartment on this long soi with a few 'very important' people having houses on the same soi. I can't talk about how they were important, but they were officially very important people. One of them used to put cones on the road outside his house to stop people from parking there. It's a public road with no pavement. Cars used to park on other parts of the road where maybe the houses were less important. Question is; if I go back and take a picture of these cones, will I receive my 5,000 baht or a threat of defamation? Do it, then report back to us - I don't have that problem but if I did, I'd give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
