confrontation with police officers, is it legal to film

Stay under the radar mate, enjoy your time in Thailand, you don't want to end up in the Bangkok Hilton.

 

If you're prone to getting in trouble with the law, Thailand is probably not the place for you.

as a former interpol agent worked in thailand and know many thai police, also currently working with the royal thai airforce  i say that you CAN record any police activity from a safe distance not disturbing the police on duty.

when you are recording;

*you cannot get involved with the investigation.. 

*you cannot disturb the police officer or get into his investigation or personal space...

*you cannot get involve to the case if you are not related to.. 

*you can do the things you cannot do only with his permission.. 

 

if the case is about you yes, you CAN record. 

*you can record only the case and related to it. 

 

PS: there are many things about this which i cannot write here because its lot of details but the info i gave you is the main idea

 

and yes, the biggest police in my city literary sitting next to me and reading this and drinking our beer and talking about our together old days working together in interpol

If one ever get into an unwanted confrontation with police officers, is it legal to film them to protect oneself from potential wrong-doing of the police?

Confrontation over what? A 200-400-600b traffic fine?  Is it really worth the potential trouble?

'Copwatch' app records direct to their servers so a record is in public domain. I think it can even be setup to download to Youtube at a later time if your not around for some reason.
