Pattaya police chief raps the knuckles of "undercover" team after bungled police work

 

 

The chief of the Pattaya police has promised disciplinary action against the head of an undercover drug investigation team and volunteers under his command. 

 

The incident came to light after a member of the public called Suwit Baipruthong posted a video. A police volunteer had stopped a man on a motorbike in Pattaya.

 

Online debate raged as to whether volunteers had such powers to stop people, reported The Pattaya News. 

 

Yesterday Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch said he had spoken to the head of the undercover team Pol Lt Sutthona Pheungphop and the volunteer called Somporn Srithong who appeared in the clip that was posted on the "Rao Rak Pattaya" (We Love Pattaya) page. 

 

He said that everyone was in plain clothes doing under cover drug work. But he promised that disciplinary procedures would be enacted as correct protocols had not been followed on this occasion.

Volunteer police/volunteer undercover agent/volunteer traffic police. I find this truly amazing.

Any volunteer doctors or nurses??( Check their qualifications before allowing medication administration or hip replacement surgery)

What qualifications do these people hold?

 

All Pattaya cops do undercover work - it's called under the table work.

Under cover with a T shirt like that makes it more like a circus act

Ah-ha, that's the rub and you've almost nailed it. Thai translations of "professional" or "career", if you are successful; "volunteer" if you aren't.
