mancub Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 And, of course, anyone who has a relative, gik etc in the force believe they also can be afforded the same immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is about Thailand where blatant corruption seems to be blatantly acceptable and generally not punished. Not among all but too large a percentage of them. Bearing in mind that if some chiefs are corrupt then it is likely that many indians will also be corrupt! Sure 'police corruption' can happen anywhere but in more advanced cultures there is probably some sort of oversight committee or integrity commission to punish those who get caught. I hope you spot the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyman58 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Looking at the police here they are a disgrace When a cop here sees 4 people on a bike wearing no helmets and does nothing about it what does that tell you? Or when a biker runs the red light and he is the cop on the bike doing it what does that tell you? There is a song out called " The dream police" by cheap trick. i think they wrote that song when they toured Thailand because this police force is def the Dream police A police force in dreams not in reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Not any different than police in Canada. I rarely see them driving the speed limit, signaling lane changes, stopping at stop signs, or while making a right turn on a red light. Very much a, you follow the rules of the road, and I will drive as I please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyF Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Nothing new, I got a fine for being in the middle lane instead of the left lane on my motorbike. The cop agreed to let me follow him to the station as I didn't know the route, and he proceeded to ride there wearing no helmet and riding against the flow of traffic 70% of the way.

Ossy Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 No sign of holding down ropes or bungies, neither . . . no need, they must have thought, with Thailand being such a flat place. For what this says about the 'Order' bit of the floundering NCP'O', the culprits should be hung out to dry. It could only be Thailand, Amazing Thailand. Come on, you tourists . . . come and laugh at our 'Police Force' in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailand49 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 A great example of they don't practice what they preach! Noticed they plaster the Thai words right over the license plate so unable to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think it is funny I dont. Oh i just saw a accident The guy on the motorbike swerved to miss some thing and came off right in front of me Guess what he is dead. Why is he dead? He hit his head on the bitumen and died He was not wearing a helmet. May be just maybe if police enforced the rule that guy be still alive. So i am cool about all mate my heart is fine how is yours?

natway09 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I nearly got run over last week by an over weight policeman on the pavement !!!! Coupled with the picture here I despair.

hdkane Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 A few weeks ago I went to the police station to have an abandoned vehicle towed away from the road in front of my home...after paying the police to find out who owned the vehicle, I was told that it belonged to a cop...I was told to forget the matter, by the sergeant on duty...so I told them I would tow the car to the police station and they can enjoy it...if it is no problem, then they should welcome the addition of the car...i left the station with the promise that they will have a new addition to the police station parking lot...later that night, the car was removed... thai police are ticks on the society...i do not see what good they do, except to provide ceremonial pageantry when needed....so basically, thais are supporting a bunch of pretty uniforms...laundry.

chama Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is an ongoing problem that crosses into so many areas of day to day activities. Some are due to carelessness and other incidents are intentionally done, targeted at specific individuals or categories of people, and can be very brazen. Tourist are often the victims and when they return to their homes or travel in other countries they recount their experiences with the Thai police over and over again. Probably not what the tourist industry needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumarianson Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This is another reason why Thai people do'nt obey the law. I have seen Police on bikes and trucks break the law many times. Driving the wrong way up a dual carriageway. Making illegal u turns. Not observing the traffic lights. But if we get caught!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
