I know many foreigners who gamble online, it's not illegal, if the site is registered outside Thailand.

Some were only fined for overstay?

 

 

 

It said they were all detained, and didn't mention any being released after imposing a fine.  Perhaps they're still getting deported.

I imagine if they are carrying guns and narcotics then good ridence to them !

 

four were held for illegal entry and 10 others on online gambling, carrying firearms and narcotics charges.

Sorry, but that is nonsense. Do not confuse the BIB with Immigration police.

 

The legality of overstay is crystal clear. 

I believe the bridge arrest was not the actual police but the city inspectors, similar to the ones who ticket you in Bangkok for butts on the sidewalk. I may be wrong but read that a while back on some forum.

Those are the plastic police known as 'tessakit' but are similar to PCSOs in the UK.
