[webfact]

 

Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) police are investigating allegations that a police officer provided his wife with confiscated e-cigarettes to sell online for profit. This inquiry was initiated after a Facebook page disclosed information regarding the alleged incident.

 

The Deputy Chief of the Technology Crime Suppression Division, Athasit Sudsanguan, revealed that the National Police Chief, Torsak Sukwimon, was aware of the situation and had ordered a factual investigation.

 

Currently, the Chief of the Technology Crime Suppression Division, Worawat Wattanakornbancha, directed Chusak Kasetnid, the Commander of the Crime Suppression and Analysis Division, to coordinate with the Esor crushes the news, which was the first to disclose the information. They aim to obtain the original post or the source of the images and information, which showed a police officer, presumed to be with his wife, selling seized e-cigarettes online.

Diversifying is the word, they can't all be peddling meth.

"Police" and "ethics" in the same sentence without the term 'lack of'......this must be a first.

We drank regularly, throughout the whole of lockdown, in a bar in central BKK......the lady who owned it was a policeman's wife......they don't do ethics.

 

Ethics?.....Not too far from Sussex.

What is the issue? You too were breaking the law. What does that say about your ethics?

Probably what happens to the vast majority of confiscated items... another RTP revenue stream.

The police have no ethics because they are only interested in self gain.

Im saying nothing, lived here to long

sounds like an honest mistake ....

Selling things with the purpose of making loss will not happen much. But vaping was forbidden and again police seems to be standing above the laws..

From the link.

This case delves into a sensitive area of police conduct and public trust. If the allegations are confirmed, it could be a severe breach of ethics and law, undermining the integrity of the police force and their role in upholding justice.

 

 

Sorry I could not stop laughing.

Exactly my thoughts.  I watch the bonfires of drugs and think I can't tell if those packets are cocaine or flour.  No wonder a cabinet member had a similar problem!
