As they won't sack themselves... nothing will change. And for me that's ok, I get along with the corrupt police, as it gives more kindda freedom to the people in daily life.

I wouldn't. If you have nothing to reproach yourself why worry?

 

There still is blatant racism sgainst foreigners in cases which pit foreigners against Thais and this will unfortunately never be under consideration because we are always guilty no matter wjat.

A Thai teen on a motorcycle lost control on a curve and ran into my truck.  I was never blamed for it.  His family had to pay my insurance company 25K for the damages.

Corruption is a way of life in Thailand people taking bribes 

From the police to Immigration and most likely businesses where people will pay to get on up the ladder 

Nothing will change its the norm here

Good for you. A guy I know had his car crashed into in front of my house by a motorcycle. He was parked... he ended up paying the guy. 

 

Guess it was your lucky day

133 + 19 from 300000.

What a gigantic achievement.

A Real police reform looks different.

Part and parcel of the face loss and image promoting rhetoric that persist within the Thai political machine.

Better bet that none of the said discipline cases were sacked, but instead "relocated".

 

When will they remove the rest of the useless baskets who do <deleted>?

Why can’t we get a leader in the United States to do what needs to be done with our police force?

Unfortunately it is not just the RTP rooted in utter corruption

Corruption or grease?

East is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet.

"The Royal Thai Police (RTP) (Thai: ตำรวจแห่งชาติ; RTGS: tamruat haeng chat) is the national police force of Thailand. The RTP employs between 210,700 and 230,000 officers...................."

 

Long way to go yet!

I wonder what the outcome of Joe Ferrari was if any!!!! Reading the words ICEBERG jogged my memory.

My kind of job , get the sack and keep your benefits !

I am wondering why, for the most part, police checkpoints are only staffed until midday.

I've only encountered one cop I could say was bent, in a minor way. Fined me 200 baht for going up a one-way street the wrong way, while ignoring several Thais doing the same thing. He suggested it would save me the trouble of going to the police station.

I thought fair enough, it would have cost me a lot more in Oz.

My guess is these are just token dismissals to show the public that they are addressing the corruption.  If they really were addressing the corruption, there would only be a teeny tiny police force left in Thailand.

Used to be one, regularly, where the Lam-Chabang turn off was, pre-motorway, 

Sometimes trying to stop fast traffic while totally drunk. His motorbike parked at the side of the road.

Years ago we used to go up to the police station at Doi Lang, I would bring a couple bottles of whisky. Stay up all nigh drinking. Hard to believe the changes in the last few years.

20 year corruption campaign?

Plans to be around awhile then....huh.

Something like 245,000 active police here.

(No pun intended)

Most wouldn't know an offence if it jumped out in front of them..

I know some good ones too.
After they set me up, they allowed me to pay ( 6 of them and their bait) TB 1.1 million which unfortunately I had at home. When I was driven back, these good people gave me TB 1000, so I could buy something to eat that night.
So much kindness - don't you agree?

I don't believe that there is anything new here. Get back to business, stay out of trouble and focus on things that can make a difference.

And I guess you will also accept that the road carnage can continue. Corruption is one thing lack of law enforcement is the other, and I suggest the real reason for such a high road death tally.

555, you really couldn't make up this dystopian drivel if you tried. The supremely corrupt junta drums out a token corrupt cop now and then from the absolutely broken cabal (yes, mafia cabal) that is the RTP. 

I have a friend who is involved in international drug trade detection processes, part of Interpol. He advises police and customs forces worldwide and says Thailand is the only country in the world that shows complete disinterest in what he does and where the police actively and openly, without fear of retribution, interfere in the detection processes. This goes to the top. Discussions with Prayut's government at the highest levels have met similar total disinterest. They are all rotten to the core. 

I find it hard to believe that Thailand is the only country that shows disinterest.

I would be interested to know what response he gets from Myanmar, where the Shan State army are supposedly involved in the manufacture of Met-amphetamines most of which seems to be trafficked here. 

 

We all know that each precinct has a big a big pryamid. 

Just ask any bar owner what they budget each monh

After 8 long years of doing nothing, they are nabbing a few here and there prior to the elections. Most of us know better and see right through this charade.

Though critics have suggested that the RTP is little short of a crime mafia and the sackings are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the rotten state of the police in Thailand.

Those with a brain have suggested etc etc.

A lunch that continues for the rest of the working day, apparently.

Keep out of trouble

Don't argue

Open the window and pay the 300 baht

All will result in a happy life in Thailand

I am presuming he backed down somehow...... running into a stationary vehicle is usually ones own fault.
