madmitch Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I hardly ever see a traffic cop on Phuket without sunglasses. What are they going to do? With a bit of luck they'll all quit or go on strike, which wold be very good news for Phuket's traffic flow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustdevil Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Silly order. Even US cops wear sunglasses. Because sun in your eyes all day, esp. tropical sun, leads to early damage such as cataracts. Why do they think sunglasses are polarized, UV-protected, etc? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 But they look soooooo cool in their sunglasses just like a cop in the movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon4637435435 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I thought they had fake police statues and cardboard cutouts. I thought that would have solved the problem but these sunglassing wearing hippies that get in the way to play god and make sure justice is never served are still working? National embarrassment.

Tony125 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thai really don't think things out just come up with an idea , implement it then when things don't workout say oh well. Here are some photos on California's Highway Patrol Officers . Sunglasses are part of the uniform due to the bright sunlight. Same with officers in Florida , Texas , Arizona and other states with sunny conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebrown Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Ossy said: This says it all, re the RTP's 'Men of Discipline' image. And this is after the Police Chief General Chakthip's 'statement, on November 15, that officers on duty must dress properly and have short haircuts', a reiteration of the policy one month later and random checks, during February. Quite simply, officers couldn't give a shit about orders from the very top cop. There is an attitude problem, within the RTP that will be impossible to fix until all ranks literally bust a gut to carry out all rulings concerning behaviour and public image. If ranks aren't listening and obeying their boss, now, the only way to change that is to change the boss, which is what I and many other posters have been hankering after this for months, now. If we can see the spanner in the works, why can't the Powers that be? Too scared to use the 'power', maybe. Power (with wielding arms), force, discipline, respect, responsibility . . . all words that are dying the death, when it comes to Thailand's governmental departments and agencies. There's this 'couldn't-give-a-shit' disease and it's spreading without control. Any posters got an idea as to why? It would indeed take someone with 'balls' to remove the top cop for failing in his duties. Someone like Police Chief General Chakthip knows where all his bosses 'skeletons' are hidden and is Teflon coated by now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejets Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Actually it could become a health issue. My wife was advised to "always" wear sunglasses while out and about as without them could be the cause of cataract problems. Perhaps if the polit get a prescription set they will have immunity.

ttrd Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 RE - A Bangkok office worker in her 30s, who asked not to be named, said police should not impose a ban on sunglasses as such a “petty” regulation could affect traffic police duties. Yes, there is a certain risk that without sunglasses you can be blinded by bribes, which in turn could affect other traffic tasks whatever they might be..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawadeeken Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just another something to think about.......... About 'Thailand's Finest'.......... I know this girl, 22 year old and has 2 kids by run-away Thai man fathers....... She was tired of selling her body in a massage shop and I helped her re-locate back to living in Udon with her Grandma....... She found work in a local restaruant for 6,000 baht, 8,000 after 3 months...... Working about 2 weeks a male customer was touching her body sexually and offered 2,000 baht for her to go to a hotel with him...... She complained to the boss and then she laid out of work for a couple days....... about that time I called her and she told me the story........ I suggested that she tell the Thai Guy to 'back-off' or she will talk to the police............... guess what????............. She replied to me........... He is a POLICE.......... And our present PM (who Probably is in the same class as that cop) is talking to Thai's about trying to wipe out prostitution and clean up Thailand's 'Face'............. My Thai wife has 2 of her 3 brothers that are Thai RTP Cops...... and they are just as bad as the cop mentioned above.... And now they are putting on a show of 'cleaning up the behavior of cops by not wearing 'Sunglasses'.................. Funny or not????????? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Maybe not everybody feels the need to wear sunglasses. If the sun is strong / low i definitely feel uncomfortable without sunglasses, and others will feel like this too. And i think everybody will agree that UV is not good for the eyes. I agree with what others said before, if they are standing at the intersection and are directing traffic (and cause traffic jams...) they can wear whatever they want. But as soon as they are talking to another person, for example they are stopping a car or a motorbike, they should be required to remove anything covering their face, like a mask and sunglasses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Of all the things needed fixing with the RTP and to end endemic corruption, haircuts and no sunglasses wouldn't be at the top of most people's reform lists. Another case of appearances mattering more than reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 It is also ''Inappropriate'' for Cops to sit on their backsides swilling beer and whiskey whilst on duty but you will find it happening in every corner of the country ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the health implications even earlier damage is likely through accidents due to limited visibility caused by the relentless glare of the sun. I certainly couldn't drive here without sunglasses unless it was completely overcast. What's wrong with just saying they need to remove sunglasses during face to face dealings with the public? Very poorly thought through as usual with these things 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
