Buriram Highway Police crack down on driver using deceptive number plate sticker

[snoop1130]

 

A 45 year old man landed himself in hot water with highway police in Thailand’s northeast Buriram province after attempting to foil them with a deceptive tactic. He attempted to dodge speeding tickets by putting a sticker over his vehicle’s number plate, leading the traffic police on a convoluted hunt.

 

The bizarre case began with a Mercedes-Benz owner filing a complaint about numerous speeding tickets being delivered to his residence. The images capturing the vehicle in violation showed the same number plate, however, he was certain the Mercedes-Benz used in the speeding incidents wasn’t his. Moreover, during the dates of the detected violations, he had never travelled to Buriram. Thus, he asked the police to investigate the vehicle in the images.

 

The tireless work of Police Lieutenant Colonel Nattirut Wattanachatrat of the Buriram Highway Police resulted in a detailed investigation and examination of CCTV footage along the offender’s route. Their search identified a black Mercedes-Benz frequently travelling within the confines of Buriram Province, reported KhaoSod.

You see many cars now with the black numbers painted white. I’m sure they are trying to do the same thing.

LOL! Who me?

It's always a Merc. Because they can afford a German taxi they think they are above the law.

Great, now also grab those motor bike rider who tilt the number plate back under the seat so it cannot be read, and those without number plates. Many more of those than the MB cheats.

The tireless work of Police Lieutenant Colonel! sounded my alarm bell and flashing lights in this story ???? 

[ignore it]

 

Got to have the Merc to display his status, but has to cover the plate to save money to make the car payment.

The recipient of the tickets must be a VIP to get a Highways Police Lt Colonel to investigate tirelessly. Bet if I complained about getting speeding tickets in my 17 year old pick-up, it would be on your bike go and pay them.
