BANGKOK,  – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration will integrate CCTV networks throughout the capital to promote public safety after a street cleaner was fatally hit by a car.

Announcing the project, Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said that the City Hall was aware of the importance of the project after the death of Somsri Yimchalaem, a street cleaner of Saphan Sung district, who was hit by a car on Oct 9.

 

CCTV footage led officials concerned to a vehicle that was driven into a warehouse and its owner finally confessed to the hit-and-run accident.

Pretty sure stating a 20 year minimum sentence for a hit and run would go further in Thais minds than worrying about cctv

Reduced to 10 years upon admission of guilt.

CCTV is good after the deed is done, yet enforcing the traffic laws would be the best place to start

After 15 years of failing to integrate the Rabbit Card........
