webfact Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Royal Thai Police Bill 80% complete BANGKOK, 9th July 2018 (NNT) – Drafting of the Royal Thai Police Bill is 80% complete according to the chairman of the drafting committee. Constitution Drafting Commission Chairman Meechai Ruchuphan, in his capacity as head of the Royal Thai Police Act drafting organ, has informed reporters that the drafting team is currently reviewing transitional provisions of the law which is now 80% complete. Earlier, the team decided to restructure the Police Committee, terminate the Office of the Royal Thai Police Policy Making Board, and make changes to the provisions governing police duties and investigations. He says the new police law will grant the public easier access to police services. The draft law will be presented to the cabinet for review before the end of this month, noted Meechai. Chairman Meechai also declined to comment on the Pheu Thai Party’s appeal against the establishment of the Palang Pracharat Party, a pro-government party led by Chuan Chuchan, and its request to have the Election Commission of Thailand probe an accusation against Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak, and the attempt by other former political figures to lure former MPs to join their side in the upcoming election. The accusation says former MPs are promised monthly salaries and/or large sums of money. -- nnt 2018-07-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that means that people will not need to pay for their services, and they now understand that they have a salury from the government for doing their work? Right, the new commercial coming soon!

Popular Post canuckamuck Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 I hope they are writing all these laws in disposable format. This country likes a fresh set of laws and constitution at least once a decade. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose someone might claim they misheard the sell-by date quoted. Then they might be prosecuted later and threatened with pain of deaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP-buying - another form of vote-buying. Just had a visual of Prayut pushing a shopping cart down a supermarket's aisles, shelves stocked with MPs, and Prawit with his watches reminding him to check the expiration dates...

Popular Post JAG Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I believe that the remaining discussion centres on the thorny topic of assorted informal charging systems, and measures to ensure that the proceeds "trickle up" through the complex "organ" which are RTP fiscal proceedures... Streamlining and overhauling the existing structures, to better fit the 21st century, and improve the service to the public is all very creditable, but not without the risk that certain key groups both within the force and outside (Mercedes-benz dealerships, assorted Mia Noi and the like) will suffer. That must be addressed. Edited July 9, 2018 by JAG 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 Devil in the details. Judging from his highly skewed constitution, I have little faith that his police bill will have any meaningful changes. Question is why in the first place is he tasked with the drafting of the bill. He seem totally under qualified to write an law enforcement bill. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post seajae Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 do they actually expect the police to follow what the bill says, we all know the police do what ever the police want and answer to no one, if it takes making extra money out of their pockets or making them actually work they will simply ignore it. As for the politicians we all know they are being paid by their various leaders already, bit rich they are complaining their financial offers are not enough to keep them onside, here in Thailand money rules in both instances 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most drunk drivers know they would be really unlucky to run into a cop from Friday afternoon through to Monday morning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Sorry, but anything involving Meechai smacks of more authoritarian protections and arbitrary use of laws. And it remains currently that the military controls the Royal Thai Police in all aspects: determines their qualifications through the highest leadership, removes police with only "suspicions" without due process of law, established a police culture of violating human rights supposedly protected by the Constitution and established unelected Army Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) with oversight of all police functions. When the junta dissolves, it will leave in place substantial and "unusual influence" over the Royal Thai Police - a police force that has never resisted a military coup!
