Makes me wonder why cannabis has been semi legalised in Thailand. There is now an outlet to resell confiscated Cannabis for profit.

Who cares how many smuggled luxury cars he has seized????

 

What we WANT to know is how many other people he and his goons have possibly tortured and murdered in the past and reported their causes of death as being "drug overdosing".

 

What we also WANT to know is what consequences he is going to face for his most recent murder.

 

Why are the police concentrating on investigating smuggled car seizures when we have a very clear murder case at hand that should be prosecuted?

This is  a side investigation arising from the original offence the original offence is still being investigated. Why do you think they should not investigate the car confiscation corruption as well? This secondary investigation prominence is by the media not the police the police are simply reporting on ongoing investigations brought about by the original offence.

This is a ring of organized criminals. Many people from the police and customs are involved. The activities of this gang of car smugglers have been known for many years. But since the highest police circles are involved, nothing ever happened and the gang was able to work undisturbed.

Set up a committee, working groups and circles of experts to investigate. Make sure that all those professionals are coming from within .....

 

Next please!

the provenance of which is still being investigated.

but not too closely lest the police owners get mildly embarrassed.

The solution is simple but will never be enacted.

 

Pay a decent wage that police can live off of without living in <deleted> housing.

make sure that police have an education minimum Pratom 6 and

they pass an entrance exam.

Explain to them that taking anything valued at more that 15 baht is against the law and they will not only be fired but they will be charged with corruption and spend time in jail as well as forfeit everything they own.

 

Charge and investigate the top brass of every police station.  Anyone that has taken a bribe fired pension erased and property of them and their family seized.

 

Do away with bounty and extra pay for doing their job.

Make all senior police officers take college courses in police procedure.

Bring in senior federal police from 5 western countries to look at and suggest changes.  

(This is the easy one as most embassies have senior federal police on embassy staff already.)

 

Pure, unadulterated fantasy.

Did Joe arrange for the cars to be stolen, transported into Thailand, seized, sold and distribute the profits?  The whole thing is very complicated.  Where did he get the time?  Maybe all of his time is spent planning criminal activity which is quite funny really.

 

On another note I had to pay 300 baht for an expired tax disc.  It was the wife's car.  Do the police also get a % of traffic fines?

I would say that the entire Police force should be reviewed and their incomes and property owned checked 100%, but I think we all know who'd be doing most of the checking.

Pointless comment then.

OK, I  know this Thailand, the land  of smiles, honesty, love for  farangs etc, etc,  but  Ive  wondered,  if these  vehicles are known to be stolen, then  there must have been a report of the theft somewhere,  not  necessarily in Thailand, how else  could   the brown slime   ascertain  the fact they were stolen.     If, after finding a report of  the theft,  its  obvious an owner of the  vehicle is   recorded on the report,...why  arent the vehicles  returned to the legitimate owner, instead of being sold, the sale  profits  going into    corrupt cops pockets  and government coffers,, which are  one and the same thing really. thats    stealing   a stolen   vehicle, isnt it??

That's one scheme for sure.

 

A lot of the higher end luxury and supercars are stolen from the UK then imported as legit, with the aid of corrupt customs officials.

 

Been going on for years.

Right hand drive. 

Not many right hand drive countries in the world so uk is a perfect target.
