They have a history on computer who have been fined for drunk driving or drivers who are on interlock. When that car goes past the cop car they get alarmed and stop the driver.

What a dog hole. Seems like this is a self funding effort. Plus, if they make the cars even smarter and connect to the taxation department and start fining all the illegal hotels for not paying taxes on the grassed up (and the perfectly legal) foreigners staying there, they can maybe fund education for those millions and not need to buy them a bowl of rice.

daveAustin Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) CRINGE! Oh Thailand, what are you doing? Bad uns out all the way, but spying on people in case they didn't report in 24hrs then patting each other on the back etc. Imagine if this system was in place and picked up one of those kind foreign divers for treading on someone's cat (or something as equally crineworthily trivial) before he could rescue the 'cave 12', for instance. All designed to make you uncomfortable. Armies should not run countries! Edited January 28, 2020 by daveAustin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bloggs Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Total waste of money could have used any number of cheaper alternatives(but maybe no incentive payments from them) To all those bleating about fingerprint scanners, a lot of other countries all ready have them and I say a lot more will in the very near future, Malayasia has them and I wasnt scared when using them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the reception the recent film got when it was released. Thais hate being reminded of their inadequacies, and that's a problem because they are, for the most part, still a developing country with one of the World's poorest education systems. They also have an unfounded arrogance and sense of entitlement, because as a nation, they haven't really done much to crow about at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtfracing Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Come on people we all know most governments know how to waste taxpayers money but here it not about wasting the money it's about who benefits the most from the best deal in the back pocket. It been this way in their culture for hundreds of years so don't expect any change soon and we all have the option to choose where we want to live if we don't like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I arrived here 2002. The place has changed but there is no need to be so negative, they are putting in place measures to make the place safer. I've noticed the quality of the foreigners (some) coming here are a different kind. Nasty, horrible, mean, penny less etc. a horrible lot. If you're one of them dont bother replying with your nasty hatred, hostile comments. You need to fix your own problems. Don't come to thailand with that attitude, go back to your own country and be miserable. The Thais have had to find better ways of controlling these type of people. I am ready for your nasty comments that I'm sure I will see. Lets see who they are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
