I take it you have had no corrupt interaction with the RTP ?

 

What we would have to benefit from by telling our true stories, would that make us RTP bashers ?

Yes.

A friend of mine was asked to pay 100,000 so they would investigate his house being broken into and his SUV stolen (they found the key in the house). The 'security guard' of the estate vanished the same day, which kind of pointed to who might be involved. He was so 'disappointed' at their service that he decided to leave this ****hole and move back to Australia - and his Thai wife was only too happy to go with him.

thousands of similar stories could be written/posted here but would lead to nowhere, unfortunately we can't name the places where that happen nor can we name the officers involved, I am sure some of us may have the video and/or audio record but can not use it afraid of reprisal

BREAKING: Bangkok Metropolitan Police issued statement Mon acknowledging Huay Kwang police extorted money from Taiwanese actress Charlene An as claimed. The statement said the investigation is still in preliminary stage & it's not yet clear if the amount was 27K bt. #Thailand

Deport her and black list.

 

Are you being sarcastic, she is not in Thailand, how can she be deported?

Wonder why they have to waste money by flying to Taiwan to interview her? A Zoom or Teams call (recorded of course) should be sufficient to clear up any misunderstandings.

"...many of them are liars and crooks".

And that same description does not apply to many civilians who post their, so far, unverified claims on social media?

Whilst you are correct, the "civilians" do not have the power to stop and search you, extort money or arrest you?

I  assume you are attempting to be funny. This lady is well-known and has no need for this kind of publicity. I suspect the CCTV footage will either be faulty or lost, and the issue will never be clarified. Interesting, though, that it was a Thai member of the group who handed over the money to the police. She'd better disappear for a while. She could be in real danger.

Personally, I wouldn't trust social media to confirm if the sun was shining or not, there's too many experts telling us the true story about what happened in Thailand, from bed sits in Burnley..

So, how is your bedsit today then?

With media you have to use your brain ????, If your easily convinced maybe cult life is for you ? Two words : TEA MONEY !! Been around a long time many people have been subjected to it including myself ! 

[TheFishman1]

Anybody in their right mind knows the police here are just like the mafia. They protect themselves they have all the power they need. Yes, they lie. Corruption runs rampant when they get caught all of a sudden the cameras aren’t working it was too dark, blah blah TIT

Why are you posting this to me? I think its meant for someone else

[Aussieroaming]

Trust the RTP...no thanks, corruption is part of the social fabric of thr RTP.

"Trust but verify."

Ok, who supervises the RTP and Chairman of the National Police Committee?

PM Prayut. 

 

[mran66]

Thai public is well known to trust RTP 555

 

However in cases like this does not matter what Thai public does as it really is about foreigners, esp outside of Thailand, who read this stuff. Hard for RTP to control  that.

If necessary officers will fly to Taiwan to get more evidence directly from the actress.

If I were her when they arrive in Taiwan I would hold a press conference and tell them all to eff off very publicly and on TV or something.

 

[Iron Tongue]

I think that the RTP should definitely fly to Taiwan!

 

After their taxi charges them $US 800 to travel from Taoyuan  Airport to downtown Taipei, maybe they can begin the process of healing.

Correct, I am pretty sure the Taiwanese police will tell them exactly that, the Thai cops have zero jurisdiction in Taiwan and would need permission to interview the young lady?

even RTP overseer Prayuth Chan-ocha, the Thai PM,  who has demanded that heads should roll if guilt can be found of extortion by the police.

They introduced a diversionary tactic by suggesting that there was some kind of electronic cigarette present. As far as I'm concerned they were digging their own grave at that point.

 

Two wrongs don't make a right, if she had an e-cig then so what - nobody in nearly all the world cares about this.

Why even mention it?
 

If the Thai police find an e-cig they demand money, everyone knows that - and that's extortion unless it's an official fine - which I'm going to take a guess that it wasn't.

I seriously doubt they will go to Taiwan ... just bs talk, and please explain why she would make this story up ?

what would she gain by discrediting the police ?   what's her agenda ?

Do you seriously think the officers concerned would turn down a freebie to Korea?
