Video: Controversial "net idol" dragged to the cells after E-Cigarette found in her car

A controversial net idol had to be dragged to the Pattaya police station cells after being arrested when cops at a checkpoint found an E-Cigarette and vaping fluid.

Cops led by Chainarong Chai-in had set up the checkpoint to guard against crime and illegal activity when they saw a suspicious Mitsubishi car approaching.

 

It was driven by Manusaya Yaowarat, 29 who is better known as Fluksri Maneedeng.

 

She courted controversy in October 2016 when she showed her nipples on Facebook and was forced to apologize.

 

She admitted the incriminating e-cigarette and fluid was hers bought at a cost of 5,000 baht.

 

A video at the station went from her being interviewed relatively calmly with her being dragged to the cells by several officers as she fought back and fell over several times.

 

She screams: "What have I done wrong? Why are you jailing me?"

 

Siam News reported that the net idol also appeared to be drunk.

I'm surprised there was no execution without trial.

 

Can you imagine a criminal with a e-cigarette walking free on the streets.

If she has been treated like that for possession of an e-cigarette then this place is even crazier than I thought. Probably gives us an idea of what to expect though, once the no smoking on the beach kicks into play, with many unwilling to go to the cells for their terrible "crime."

[tonray]

That scourge upon society ! OMG....vaping liquid...what vile substance will she use next Pink face Powder ?

[trogers]

Ahhh... the kind of characters being idolised in this time and age. No wonder they say we are approaching the End Time.

Jump out of your with a baseball bat or golf club and smash someone car up 500bt fine smoke an E-cigarette and its a night in the cells. I actually find it disgusting the E-cigarettes are made illegal to keep the Tax money rolling in. 

[khwaibah]

I would have jailed her for all the tramp stamp she has.

[geriatrickid]

What stupidity. She gets manhandled for a minor offense, and yet the  jet ski and tuk tuk thugs of Patong are allowed to do as they please.  Thailan's coppers have their priorities screwed up.

 

BTW, anyone else notice the  violation of  acceptable procedures? Police women are supposed to  "handle" female detainees. Maybe the  RTP should investigate their  boys for this.

[sweatalot]

jail for an E-cigarette, bail (or out of jail ticket) for murderers, no traffic law enforcement, jail for the poor, red carpet for the rich 

-something seriously wrong in this country

[z42]

So the cops never sought to prove the person was driving while drunk, and instead were grilling them about an e-cig machine.

How is possession of it even worthy of a night in the cells. The authorities disgracing themselves as standard ??

Agree, it is disgusting. Unfortunately E cigarettes threaten the profit of the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly (that's actually their name believe it or not but at least they are honest about it!), that's serious. Violence between the serfs, not serious. 

 

As soon as TTM start profiting from E Cigarettes, they'll be declared legal and healthy. 

[cyberfarang]

She looks a total mess. Probably screwed up in the head as well.

[samsensam]

 

RTP have got their priorities right, another easy collar.

[Meljames]

I see Thais vaping in public almost daily. It's a stupid law to begin with made  even dumber when they enforce it so randomly with OTT measures.

[darksidedog]

Can you imagine what the reaction will be if a video like this appears in the UK of an English person being dragged away for something as pathetically minor as an e-cigarette? If they think tourist numbers are low now, that should totally sink it. Morons.

... and probably gave the machine back to her upon release...   ... so they can catch her - again!

[isaanbanhou]

she's lucky she wasn t pee tested.

What is a "net idol"?

Why should there be any reaction but to condemn such morons and  idiots what would openly flaunt Thai law? The UK Foreign office has issued advisories to travelers to leave there ecigs and vape gear at home. Now warning is played on the arrival customs and immigration Video on all TG flights now. 

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

She spends enough posting crap on the internet to become a celebrity.

[richard_smith237]

I can't believe there is not more to the story here....   She must have been rather 'lippy' with the BiB for them to react so firmly.

 

It's fairly common knowledge that if when stopped by the BiB you start giving the 'Big I AM' when you are not a 'Big I AM' you will receive some firm treatment, conversely if you are polite you are not going to be treated harshly. 

 

I assume they used the E-Ciggarete as an excuse to exact a little revenge, to teach her a lesson, to remind her who is in charge.

So, I don't think she spent a night in the cells for having an E-Ciggarette, she spent a night in the cells for poor behavior when confronted by the BiB and the E-Cig was simply a means by which she could be arrested. 

 

 

All of that Said: The Anti-Vaping laws here in Thailand are ridiculous and the story itself is a measure of how unjust people can be treated if the BiB choose to push their limits of enforcement for whatever reasons... Its tantamount to a crime against civil rights and would be so in many other countries.

agreed; stories like this, based on laws like this are accelerating my slide from skepticism to cynicism to outright loss of hope

So a person who appears to be under the influence either alcohol or another substance -- that was stopped at a checkpoint (and questioned about other illegal items in her possession).... should be allowed to drive away ???  

 

That is what some of the commenters seem to be saying...

You misunderstand.

 

Net Idol is a job. Internet users pay to watch her videos and livecasts by electronic payments.

All very possible and very true. She could also have refused to pay on the spot. This gives the police the option of letting her go or officially charging her which means locking her up. Those late night checkpoints can be very aggressive money collection points.
