Popular Post snoop1130 Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 A German man in Pattaya had an intense standoff with police as he was reportedly afraid to be arrested for an alleged overstay. The Banglamung Police, Immigration officers, Public Health Staffers, rescue workers and the Pattaya News arrived at the house in question in Soi Panya Nimit in Nongprue late this afternoon (November 7th). Mr. Tomas Veit, 47, a German national, was found in an enraged and erratic state according to Banglamung police. He was trying to call on the phone his 35-year-old German wife for help while pointing a knife at his neck inside the house and refusing to surrender to Immigration officers or police, as well as refusing them entry.

You call that being treated like animals lol....If this was in the U.S. or any other country where cops actually have a set they would be picking this guy up with a spatula by now. The guy was throwing bottles at the cops, almost blew up the neighborhood and being a menace. What are the cops supposed to do, roll up the red carpet and thank him for not cooperating. 45 1 4 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mac Mickmanus Posted November 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2022 I hope that I never end up like that . Shouting and screaming and sitting on roofs and throwing thing about and setting things on fire . I would hate the attention and would feel extreme embarrassed by my behaviour . What did the guy think was going to happen when he played up? Did he think that the Police would go home and leave him alone and forget about him ? 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what should the police / immigration officers do if he's not cooperating, just walk away? Overstay is a serious problem in any country. Go over in Australia and the search to find you starts immediately and is very serious and they find 99% of overstayers very quickly. There's no 'if it's not convenient now, when should we come back?' 12 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy handed because he refused to cooperate and leave the property peacefully , leaving the Police no other choice than to force him out 16 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing that he could have done would be to go peacefully and immediately to the Police station and try to arrange something to clear his overstay , now he will have to pay a fine which may be the same cost to fix his overstay 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US, he would likely have been shot and killed. He sounds like an absolute fool. Though I give the cops here very little reason to harass me, I find them to be relatively easy to deal with, and rarely ever do they overly flex their power like in the US. Some departments in the US are worse than others. Many cops there are drunk with power. Some are here too. But, not nearly as many, and they are significantly less obnoxious here.

JeffersLos Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I can understand why he was so upset, with German immigration policies being so free and open over the last 100 years or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cops showed up after investigating neighbor complaints( dogs chasing bikes) and during that time they came to find he was delinquent on his visa!

So, it is relevant from a standpoint of international perspective. It was not a political statement. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
