The easy pass sticker scandal was uncovered by Move Forward Party (MFP) MP Wiroj Lakkhanaadisorn at the beginning of this month. Wiroj made known that several logistic companies and drivers placed special stickers on their overloaded trucks to obtain a special pass.

 

To acquire these stickers, the drivers or their respective companies were required to pay bribes as requested by certain police officers within the Highway Police Division and other relevant departments.

That's one of the problems that plagues the south; being a dumping ground, whether for sub-standard police, army or plain civil servant. What have the people of Yala done to deserve 42 <deleted> traffic cops?

Great 'sentence' - probably the worst place in Thailand to be a policemen - hope they transfer all the 'inactive posts' there too

[bamnutsak]

Assign them to the bomb disposal teams.

All the other Inactive Post Centres are full.  Next they'll be opening one in Myanmar.

Does anyone remember the investigation Big Joke held into the North-Eastern immigration offices issuing dodgy visas?

 

Does anyone remember how many officers were charged, convicted or lost their jobs?

Just another white wash post by the BiB, nothing will happen and those involved will quietly be restored to normal duties...

116.

 

Potentially implicated.

 

Case turned over to the NACC for their cold storage facility.

Yeah, Big Joke dropped that turd (unpolished) on the NACC, where corruption cases go to die, because he wanted it to vanish.

 

He's the Big Fixer for the Kingdom. Invaluable.

 

He'll end up on the Privy Council.
