Police, alongside partner organisations, are offering cash rewards for citizens who capture traffic violations on video as part of the "Volunteer Traffic Eyes" project. Total rewards exceed 50,000 THB.

 

On 26th September, at the Sarasin Room of the Royal Thai Police Headquarters, Police Lieutenant General Prachuap Wongsuk, Assistant Commissioner-General of the Royal Thai Police and Acting Deputy Commissioner-General, announced the award recipients of the "Volunteer Traffic Eyes" project.

 

He was joined by Dr. Taejing Siripanich, Secretary-General of the Don't Drink and Drive Foundation, Khun Chonlathicha Sattayamana, Assistant Manager of Corporate Communications at Viriyah Insurance Public Company Limited, and representatives from radio stations Saw Pha 91 and Jor Sor 100.

 

The event saw prizes and certificates awarded to citizens who submitted dashboard camera footage of significant traffic violations or road accidents for July 2024. A total of 10 prizes were awarded, with the top prize being 20,000 THB. The total sum of rewards distributed on this occasion was 50,000 THB, generously sponsored by Viriyah Insurance.

Police Lieutenant General Prachuap emphasised the importance of public participation in enhancing road safety. He highlighted that the "Volunteer Traffic Eyes" project facilitates cooperation from various sectors and has garnered increasing interest.

 

Since its inception, more citizens have been submitting footage of traffic violations for review, which plays a crucial role in addressing traffic issues and ensuring road safety.

 

For those caught on video, the footage will be scrutinised by police, who will then take appropriate legal action. This initiative aims to deter motorists from committing violations and to encourage safer driving habits that do not inconvenience others.

 

Participants can submit their footage through multiple channels, including the Volunteer Traffic Eyes Facebook page, the Highway Police Facebook page, and the Traffic Police Division Facebook page.

 

Footage can also be sent to network partners like the Don't Drink and Drive Foundation, Saw Pha 91, and Jor Sor 100. Videos selected for their content will not only earn monetary rewards but also receive a certificate of recognition from the Royal Thai Police, honouring the citizen's contribution to public safety.

The Hub of the snitch.

Just do your job Mr police man.

Well, I'm just going to set up a camera at a couple of pedestrian crosswalks and see how much I get.

So, I hardly see a police officer anywhere.  Now they want the citizens to do their work for them?

   so even if the reward was 1k that's just 50 drivers.
