Big Oud and his smart car leads to arrest of seven illegal foreigners

Immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong "Big Oud" Chingduang presented details of the capture of seven illegal foreigners in Khon Kaen province in Thailand's north east. 

 

He was standing in front of a vinyl board that said one of his "smart cars" was instrumental in the arrests.

 

The "Rot Atchariya" was used when police stopped a bus in the Nong Phai area of Khon Kaen and found Hue, 32, on overstay and Thong, 26, an illegal immigrant. Both are from Vietnam and were headed for a natural border area to cross abroad. 

 

Their arrest led to 5 more Vietnamese being arrested at the Khon Kaen 3 bus station. Thanh, Lam, Loc, Hung and Nam were busted on overstay and handed over to the Khon Kaen police. 

 

They likewise were headed for the border in an attempt to sneak across.

So the IMO's travelled in style in a BMW to get to Khon Kaen? I see one BMW smart car every night at 1600 on same route from CNX IMO along canal road taking the big minions home.

Just an excuse to get himself a new BMW.

 

His car is not so smart as it will only catch a tiny percentage of illegals.

 

The long border is obviously porous and impossible to police. Vietnamese come in on a tourist visa and stay as long as they like. Then just walk back over the border.

 

I recall watching the Cambodians crossing the border under a bridge, like ants, carrying smuggled goods. Either end of the bridge were Thai and Cambodian immigration, oblivious to all going on below.

They have blacked-out windows, how can you see who is inside, never mind what their rank is?

 

What's a "big minion", they're either "big" (high ranking) or "minions" (servile dependents), can't be both, by definition.

Yes the car isn't smart, more a mobile immigration office, a bit like the UK police 

being able to flag up insurance sand tax details from registration plates, I can see it as 

a good thing from an immigration point of view.

 

It does seem odd that the foreigners arrested were from Vietnam, according to many

here, Vietnam is the land of milk and honey, superior to Thailand in every way!!

So they stopped a bus and used a computer installed in their car to check those people's immigration status? That makes this car a "smart car"? I'm with Big Joke on this one.

 

It's still a big step up from 2 guys sharing a scooter. 

 

Now if they could just get traffic enforcement into smart cars.  Or any cars capable of pulling drunk and crazy drivers over instead of waiting for them to stop at a checkpoint.

Desperately trying to justify the purchase of a fleet of BMW...... buying high end toys (submarines etc) whilst a large percentage of the population live under tin roofs is something you’d more likely to see in a failed African state.

Can this incredible device be placed in a laptop or mobile phone? This way we can hear about more fascinating arrests from the "magic phone". And if the system goes down they can look at the person's passport stamps- also instrumental in detecting illegal immigrants 

Yeah, but that doesn't rate big printed fancy boards and justification of many large brown envelopes and lunch boxes.
