Yesterday, a drunk police officer parked his car in the middle of the road in Udon Thani province in northeast Thailand when he needed to pee. Upon his return, his wheel had been clamped. He attempted to drive the clamped vehicle before fleeing.

 

Officers at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station were informed that someone with a police officer’s uniform was attempting to drive their clamped car after blocking traffic at the entrance of Soi Benjang 1, Benjang Road, Udon Thani district, reports CH7.

 

Police rushed to the scene to find the aforementioned sedan with the front right wheel clamped. The doors were unlocked but the driver was nowhere to be found.

 

Upon clamping the vehicle, traffic police left a note tucked into the windscreen wipers for the owner. Inside the car, police found a police officer’s uniform and ID. It turns out the owner of the car is a real police officer with the rank of Police Senior Sergeant Major, under Kut Chap Police Station in Udon Thani province, northeast Thailand.

Another useless piece of excrement upholding the spiralling into the abyss image of the force.

Why unclamp, just re,move the vehicle to a Police Pound , why be polite treat him the same as as a normal person .

"unclamping" the opposite of clamping isn't mentioned anywhere.

 

My question would be, why clamp a vehicle blocking traffic in the first place?

 

I'd have trucks with cranes standing by removing any gross offenders asap.
