webfact Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thai cops ordered: No more Facebook while on duty - or else! Picture: Manager online Cops in the south of Thailand have been told that they are to stop using social media while they are on duty. If they fail to comply they face probation, at the very least. The order came from the chief of the Khao Chaison station in Phatthalung. A letter banning Facebook, Line and email was shown on the page "Police News Varieties". The ban mentions no social media is allowed between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm. Cops need to be doing their honorable duty serving the public good at all times - not using social media.

colinneil Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Police told .... No more facebook, well at least he has got a sense of humour. Just like king Canute, trying to hold the tide back,. Dream on pal, all they will do now is hide in the bog or somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I guess that means then that anyone selling drugs or pornography through Facebook, can now expand operations. It seems the cops can no longer check up on them. Oh, the cops won't know what to do with themselves, will be like a lost puppy, running in circles.

I do think that it means that the Police cannot use FB socially . They can still probably use it for investigations and surveillance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where does social use/ investigations start and end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyman58 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Just a minor hiccup. It will soon be forgotten and all will back to normal. But hey it sounded good. Just means if they cant use facebook or line they play a game on their phones. But rest easy drivers you can still drive like idiots because the RTP won't bother you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 No more playing on the cell phones while on duty ?!! ..Oh Dear!...how to while away time ? Picking randomly on farangs passing by, to check if they have their passports and to hassle them, could be a good alternative !!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say the same, or roadside coffee hideaways, or daytime BBQs behind the barracks. They should carry police issue equipment only. Not sure if the little notepad and pencil to record payments, comes under this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
