Perhaps they need to raise the starting salary of ฿8,610/month to stop some of this.

Perhaps, or likely, the reason that police do very little in the way of law enforcement. 
They only work as hard as what they get paid and other means of sourcing a living wage are sought.

Hard to pay more, when they have 1 police officer per 20 citizens. 😂

Totally agree.

Hopefully his reward will not be a motor 'accident'.

The guy shows not to be afraid, but he might en danger his family.

Actually it’s about 1 police to 300 people then if you take into account how many actually work ( do what they are supposed to )it’s probably 1 to 300,000

I think the corrupt ones within the BiB are so entrenched in their behavior and resulting lifestyle that a salary raise just looks like a reward to them.

Correct, this is the root cause of police corruption 

 

Unfortunately, the root cause is deeply set, and increasing the salaries, while a good thing, will do nothing to stop the corruption.

 

There seems to be an "unwritten law" whereby for the most part any wrongdoers merely get moved to an inactive post for a while, and then resume their normal duties, or are transferred to another post/area.

 

Another dubious procedure is that promotion seems to be bought rather than on merit or performance.

 

I would like to see a situation where honest 🙂 policemen get rewarded with a decent salary, but wrongdoers, if found guilty should be immediately sacked - no inactive posts or transfers - sacked!

 

You might then eventually get a police force that does not need to supplement their income by extortion/corruption, will do the job they are paid to do, and achieve promotion by virtue of their results, not by paying for a step up the ladder with money that has obviously been acquired through dubious practices. (You will obviously have situations where some officers families are wealthy enough to buy their offspring a step up (Big Joke?), but I would imagine these to be in the minority.

The incident puts a spotlight on possible police corruption in Lamphun. 

 

Ha. This one is funny. I love how they always try to make it appear as if the RTP is clean and free of corruption. The big surprise is not when they find signs of corruption. The big surprise is when they find signs of good police work, without corruption. 

 

The RTP at it's inception seems to have been created with a status quo from the government. We will NOT pay you a living wage, but you have a franchise, and the limit of your income is based solely on your own creativity and initiative, and you will always be protected. Is that not the case?

This happens all over the country it’s nothing new lady bars paying money every month to the local plod all credit to the guy for complaining only problem is his card is marked !

For money you can get almost anything from the RTP. For example, in certain cities, if you have a motorbike rental, you can park it in public parking spaces for a monthly "fee", payable monthly! But no, this is not extortion:post-4641-1156694572:

Hope he has videos of the raid on his phone.

Why, do you really think it will make any difference? 

The only time there is any kick-back is if the BIB step on the toes of other BIB, as a normal citizen you don't rate.
