INN reported on the latest figures from the Royal Thai Police operations command center for checks on curfew and inter provincial movement. 

 

There are 179 checkpoints in 13 provinces checking on the curfew that exists between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am. 

 

In addition there are 55 checkpoints looking for illegal inter provincial movement.

 

Tens of thousand of vehicles and even more people have been checked for documents and apps. 

 

The bottom line for curfew violations is that 13,505 people were checked from July 11th to 22nd with 12,626 warned or having reason to be out.

 

But the police are pursuing prosecutions against the remaining 879 people for violating the curfew.

What were their excuses, did know, didn't care or just drunk/mao yaba?

Excellent, now prosecute another 8,790 violating curfew without valid reason.

Something is not right in this report…

 

I have been starting to believe it is only foreigners who are breaking the regulations and contributing to the severity of increased covid cases. 

 

But….… Foreigners are not mentioned nor photographed with anyone pointed at them. At whom are we supposed to level our outrage ??? 

[Pedrogaz]

Not many really. Well done cops.

'Prosecute' meaning 'How much you gonna give us not to ?'

[daveAustin]

This is what happens under martial law. Bet the army are loving it. Thanks for everything China.

The 879 being prosecuted did not have any cash on them. The BIB wont accept credit cards but coming soon  probably 

[Almer]

So would that be from/to deep Red zones

I don't understand why people would applaud these arrests. It has zero bearing on covid, you are in fact cheering for the side who has taken all your civil rights away from you.

They record every person that was stopped?

Oh dear. More ammunition for a indefinite state of emergency or what ever they are calling it

Meanwhile in Pattaya, the same four tearaways on look-at-me bikes continue to go out about 9pm roaring their engines audible FIVE kilometres away to all but Pattaya Plod.
