maybe, maybe not.  They may have cooked up a plan on the fly to follow the guy, see where he goes, who he contacts etc.

Stupid comment, the Philippines is not a nice place to live, innocent people are being killed and this approach has been attempted before in Thailand and was widely abused by Thai authorities.

Because it doesn't work, and drawing from prior evidence in Thailand (as well as currently in the Philippines) it gets abused by police forces who use it to take out people unconnected to drugs for other reasons.

Trial by cop is never a good idea - this is why the judiciary exists.

T's son was on speed, so he had a good excuse to start the war. I was in the south of Thailand at this time when one pill of Jaba was 50 baht cheap.

 

The big dealers were informed by their BIB, they had on their paylist and they came back after the war on drugs when one pill of Jaba was all in a sudden 500 baht expensive. 

Addicted prostitutes at this time had to work 24 hours to be able to smoke one pill. People could "hang" their neighbors, just by putting some Jaba in their places and informed the cops. What a terrible time.

This was 10 years ago and yes red shirt is very corrupt same as the police but now we have the army and I sure they can do a better job but it seems as people in here not like army but I do and my normal working Thai friends too nobody can't expect he can clean corruption up in few years but I personally hope he will continue to run Thailand because it will be a better Thailand for normal hard working Thai people meaby not for tourist there come here for sex drugs etc 

A bad corrupt country take time to clean up and yes red/yellow parties can't wait to get their fingers on the power and just let the country go down again

As long as there will be consumers of this poison, there will always be producers or suppliers globally,  no matter how hard a nation may try to erradicate the disease !

 

So who to blame ?....The consumer ? the producer ?  the druglords ? the peddlar ? inner governance within nations ?....who ?
