Selling it visible in the shop counter. This shop keeper must be the smartest guy on the planet.

I fail to see evidence of "swooping" in the picture.  Enlighten me, do Thai Police swoop differently from swoopers around the world?

 

I would more alerted, if I were McDonalds.  The Apple Pie in the picture looks much like what my boy bought last week.

I didn't see wings, capes, nor wires in the picture.  Are these not prerequisites for proper swooping?

200 THb fine. Can't get blackmailed with deportation if you are thai.

 

In the france girls court order the fine was also way below 1000 THB. 40k is just the blackmailing amount.
