verticalift Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I realize that what I’m about to suggest here might be a real stretch and perhaps far too much for most Thai’s to fathom, but how about using “real” police cars with “real” police officers...??? As a Canadian expat living in Phuket for over the past 20 years, I have NEVER seen a police car out on patrol anywhere in T’land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallen52 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Of course the response is going to be manned by dummy police. Why not train the officers and have them do a real job, instead of thinking about ways to get rich from the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post metempsychotic Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2019 Perhaps announcing it was not the way forward. A patrol car hovering 30 cm above the road does seem convincing though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I hope I read next week from the BiB that someone stole the cardboard cutout. Imagine them going in a pickup to pick it up to find its been nicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post dallen52 Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2019 One of the first moves to bring any credibility into the law enforcement system is REMOVE all other flashing lights from non emergency vehicles. That is the first step in a mentality approach. All other countries where you see flashing lights triggers an immediate response to slow down. In Thailand it could be a somtam seller on the side of the road. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnx355 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 What about using real patrol cars that can intercept faulty drivers on the road. I my 12 years here, I never saw a patrol car stop a contrevenant on the roads. I know regular traffic police have old pick-up truck but VIP escort have the new BMW and Camry. Road block do not stop bad driving ! They have to modify traffic laws too so a faulty driver or uninsured car can be towed away at the owners expense and the cars sold after 6 months if not claimed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I spot one of these babies, it is definitely cummin home with me in the back of the truck. One for the collection. I tea-leafed one of those stone cops already when a little bit drunk. In the back garden. Too scared to take it back. ???? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwill Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) I see cars speeding past real police vehicles with no consequence let alone cardboard ones. I imagine they will be laying flat when traffic gets congested and the shoulder is used as an extra lane.

Besides, nobody cares about a cop car on the side of he road here. There is no fear of the LPF (local police franchisees). They are an utterly powerless and impotent force. So true. Proactive patrolling of the roadways is unknown. It seems their ideas are limited to stationary, lazy inspired devices and "toll collection checkpoints". Much of the world has a different idea about patrol units, but not here. The numbers of roadway deaths speaks volumes about the incompetence.

dave moir Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 You see people driving past real police cars at over 100kph so I don't think a cardboard cutout is going to address the situation!!!! ???????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
