Popular Post LarrySR Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Happened years ago. I recall them kidnapping a guy on Soi Thonglor in front of Starbucks, locking him up in a safe house and draining his ATM card of the maximum amount each day. Another case was the 'Duty Free theft scam" at the airport, where the cashier would fail to charge the customer for some item, then police waiting for them, accusing them of stealing, locking them up in a crummy short time hotel, threatening long jail time, arranging an expensive fake lawyer, forcing them to pay a huge fine then setting them free. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lujanit Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 The cops were doing this years ago. Remember the Blue Diamond Affair. Cops kidnapped, raped (the woman) and murdered the wife and child of one of the people involved. The BIB are a disgusting organisation that is beyond redemption. I have no respect for any of them. 17 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"15 suspects working together" is not a couple of rogue officers "tainting the image of an otherwise impeccable police force". There is systemic method behind it, as cases like this one and numerous others keep recurring all too frequently. This is organized crime perpetrated by a state agency that's meant to uphold the law (555) and protect us from criminals (555). Yet the sad fact is: they uphold nothing and they ARE the criminals. Oh, the RTP has an "image" alright. And we all know what image that is. Edited April 2, 2022 by Misterwhisper 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BangkokReady Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Interesting development. Very brave of these people to come forward. Probably things like social media and these legal organisations are making a big difference here. Not unusual for things like this to be hushed up and the victims being threatened and too scared to report it. Obviously Thai people won't like it at first, as it means they would have to be less corrupt also, but this certainly seems like a step in the right direction. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
