Udon Thani Traffic Police Officers Suspended Amid Bribery Scandal
FILE Photo by Yuriy Kovalev on Unsplash Eighteen traffic police officers in Udon Thani have been suspended from active duty following allegations of accepting bribes in exchange for leniency on traffic violations. The suspension comes after a video emerged on a local Facebook page, "E-Sor Khayee Laek," depicting officers offering motorists a choice between paying a fine on the spot or being issued a ticket. The footage quickly garnered public attention, sparking outrage and prompting calls for accountability. Pol Col Phattanawong Chanphon, who oversees the Mueang Police Station in Udon Thani, confirmed that the incident occurred on December 21 along Mittraphap Road. He expressed his dismay, noting that this is the first case of its kind during his 18-month tenure. In light of the allegations, 18 officers have been temporarily relieved of their duties as part of the disciplinary process. In an effort to restore public trust and reinforce ethical behaviour within the force, Pol Col Phattanawong is planning to confer with the provincial police chief on Monday. The discussion will focus on revising current regulations and refining the procedures traffic officers must adhere to. As the New Year approaches—a period notorious for an increase in traffic accidents—the department is keen to implement strict measures as part of the "Seven Dangerous Days" safety campaign. Strategic checkpoints will be established in four key locations across Udon Thani to enhance road safety compliance. Furthermore, Pol Col Phattanawong has encouraged the community to report any ambiguous or suspect behaviour by officers, assuring the public that any such reports will be thoroughly investigated to ensure transparency and accountability. In a separate but related incident, a traffic officer in Nonthaburi has been filmed collecting fines in cash without providing official tickets at Phong Phet intersection. In response, the Rattanathibet Police Station has initiated an investigation into the officer's conduct. Pol Col Phisut Chantarasuwan, the station's superintendent, has stated that they expect to resolve the case and present findings within a week. Should the investigation conclude that misconduct occurred, both disciplinary action and potential criminal charges will be pursued. The recent revelations have cast a spotlight on the integrity of traffic enforcement procedures in Thailand, with officials now under pressure to enforce stringent checks to rectify any abuses of power, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-12-23 -

Trump’s ‘stunningly unqualified’ diplomatic team shapes up at breakneck speed
This is what Trump does, he did it in his first term and he simply repeating himself. He does not go for high quality, he does not go for highly qualify, he goes for relatively weak-minded people who are also very obedient. That's the primary qualification, so expect low quality appointments, expect a huge turnover, expect a lot of people to be thrown under the bus, and expect another 4 years of the Trump circus. The last thing in the world that you should expect is a well-run government that is performing effectively. -
