Police will be notified in their patrol cars to intercept. And this has been the norm for many years. Didn't some of us come here to escape the euro police states ? To the RTP : don't do it , it's a bad idea , just like all the camera's you placed in the last couple of years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Is Thailand the only country in the world that do not check for criminal records when they stop traffic offenders on the roads? I think most European countries been doing it since the 1980's . Edited June 11, 2018 by balo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need even for improved access to PNC etc, it's all in the passport, or not as the case may be. Maybe cuz foreigners don't carry their passports everywhere they go.

stephen tracy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 If they started doing an official ID check for criminals at these road-stops, they would then not be able to extort money from the motorists because presumably the check would then be entered onto some sort of database. And more often than not, the whole point of this exercise is to extort money from motorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmcleod Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The reason that it has never been done is that there is no profit in arresting criminals! Hours of paperwork back at the station does not make them any money! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not read pages 4-10 but it seems that you feel this is evidence that there is no need to carry a passport. I personally have stood by the roadside in Mukdahan with two policemen, immigration and local, who have left me in no doubt that a passport has to be carried always. For the record, I do know that RTP do not have a great knowledge of the law. Thanks for the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was without doubt the most boring read I have ever had on TVF but I'll have to deal with it. One thing is certain and that is that sam neuts does not understand your request for a quote of the law. I'm with you on this one, quote the law, it should be the only reliable source. In the absence of quotable law, I am prepared to admit that there is no legal obligation to carry my passport at all times. Thanks for your guidance.

ksamuiguy Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 "Every" country has a patrol car at the road block, check point with a computer that can check anything on line, facial recognition, passport or ID number. In fact in most countries every patrol car is equipped with these basic NCIS computers. Have been for years, they even work when the vehicle is moving, but they do keep a record of what is requested and usually want answers to why quires were made and the disposition of the request.
