Have the government lost control of the police in Thailand?

Based on my experience over the last 10 years, i've come to the conclusion that the government has no real effective control over the boys in brown.

 

On one hand i feel the police should be paid far more money but the corruption should not go unpunished which is currently the case because they are simply "transferred to an inactive post". What a joke!

 

They really are the mafia as they collect payments from bars, road blocks and other money generating schemes not unlike the mafia.

 

Recently the government released figures stating 45% of money collected from on the spot fines goes directly in the police mans pockets.

 

To make things worse, laws are not enforced because payments are made including :

 

1. Bars who allow smoking

2. Construction companies burning off hazardous materials at night ( so you can't take clear videos/photos ) The World Health Organization reports, 25% of the entire countries population die prematurely due to pollution including long term expats.

3. Vehicle pollution. Recently the police in Bangkok found over 10,000 vehicles producing pollution however none where removed from the road and only a handful fined.

 

The government and police clearly DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONES HEALTH.

Not a police job, at least not in a real country, job of the regulatory offices, which may not even exist here? 
Same people who control food safety, building safety etc...

 

But the rest, yeah sure... but everywhere in SEA, Singapore might be an exception.

 

police vs army is like the cosa nostra vs the ndrenghta or camorra in italy.

I disagree and do not or have not experiences that in 20 years, if you conduct yourself patiently in the correct way there's no problem.
