[webfact]

 

Nakhon Pathom – General Surachet Hakparn, Deputy Police Commissioner and Thailand’s most well-known cop, has announced a plan to clean up mafia networks including those extorting bribes from overloaded trucks in Nakhon Pathom.

 

General Surachet told TPN media “A significant amount of evidence at the shooting scene was cleared and inspected including CCTV footage. The DNA of everyone at the scene was also collected.”

 

“Police found ten guns inside the sub-district headman ‘Kam Nan Nok’’s house. He has a huge network of construction businesses in which overloaded trucks are being used on many main roads in Nakhon Pathom. He knows many highway police and other high ranking police in the area,” General Surachet explained.

But will they stop trucks from being overloaded?

Not only should they be fined when overloaded but they should stop the truck and have the company come out and remove the overload before allowing the truck to leave again.

Hopefully the oublic is smart enough to realize that they were oaying the cops.  Because overloaded trucks famous roads, get involved in accidents and diverts government $ to rebuilding roads causing dust, slowdowns and accidents.

My neck of the woods, and the sheer number of vehicles grossly over-loaded are incredible, officers just take a road-side tip and allow them to continue.

Some companies actually pay a monthly installment to be left alone

Forget the overload distraction, what if the vehicle truck or pick up was transporting dope, much higher value and better able to afford the ticket
