Popular Post webfact Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 Four junior police officers, who are accused of providing vehicular escort services for a fee to Chinese tourists travelling from Suvarnabhumi international airport to their hotels in Bangkok, have been summoned to the Office of the Inspector-General to acknowledge charges of gross disciplinary violation. The two traffic police officers and two tourist police officers admitted that they were the four men seen in a video providing escorts to Chinese tourists, which was posted on social media, but they deny that they had done anything which has tarnished the reputation of the Thai police or that they had demanded a fee from the tourists, according to Pol Maj-Gen Jenkamon Khamnuan, an inspecting commander attached to the Office of the Inspector-General. The four officers also say that they used their own vehicles, two motorcycles and a car, which were modified to look like police escort vehicles.

Popular Post Bert got kinky Posted February 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) The four officers also say that they used their own vehicles, two motorcycles and a car, which were modified to look like police escort vehicles. So off duty police officers using modified vehicle's to fool the public into thinking that they are on duty and in 'real' police cars. And that is legal? ???? If there was no money exchanged, they did this out of the goodness of their hearts, while off duty? Who paid for the modification of their 'civilian' vehicles?

HaoleBoy Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 What is the law pertaining to driving on the toll-way with police lights flashing? Isn't that against the law for off-duty police? I see police trucks (presumably on-duty) driving around town with lights flashing (and in no apparent hurry) all the time. Why isn't this stopped? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they provided the service free of charge out of the goodness of their hearts to give the Chinese tourists a good impression of Thailand. And they only modified their private vehicles to look like police transport to make the tourists feel safer? Nice try. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then they should be able to produce these modified vehicles to have their VIN numbers checked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
