webfact Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Praise for kind Sri Racha traffic cop who allows press-ups instead of fine for helmet-less teen video screenshot Channel 3 reported on a Facebook video that showed a Sri Racha traffic cop give some alternative punishment to a young man on his way to pick up his mum. The motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet and asked to do 50 press-ups instead of paying a fine. Constable Amnat Phathaisong took further pity on him and said that 20 would be enough. The Bo Win traffic cop told reporters that the young man recognized that he was in the wrong and was allowed to go on his way after a talking to. Channel 3 reported that netizens praised the cop for his attitude in comments on Facebook.

DrTuner Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The teens in their current level of fitness will probably need two days to do the 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Moti24 Posted June 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2018 Press-ups! He's not the first cop to allow a teen to do press-ups, instead of paying a fine. All that lad's learnt is that he's not fit enough to do 50 press-ups. Perhaps, when that same lad meets his maker due to not wearing a helmet, at a later date, the cop can go round and console the parents. More incredible is the fact that netizens condone the cop's actions. The Thai population just don't get it, do they! 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So will the press ups make him wear a helmet ? I think we all know the answer. Confiscate the bike ,simple, .... return the bike when he produces a helmet. If caught again ,scrap the bike. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ij America, he would not have escaped being ticketed and told to call someone to bring a helmet even if he did have a license. And a teen without a license would have been taken to jail at a juvenile center pending his parents arrival to take him out. Your take on this supposedly kind act doesn't wash.

You have no idea whether he had a licence or not and what happens in the US is completely irrelevant here. My take on this is objectively correct, police everywhere are allowed the discretion of whether to issue a ticket or give a warning, that is what I have been commenting on!
