Report Drive Drunk, Lose Your Car: Thailand’s OAG Pushes Tough New Proposal
To be fair, Australia was once our jail, and you could be sent there for stealing a loaf of bread, so not much change really. -

The locals are fed up with the annoying tourists.
I do not dispute that there is a problem with a subset of tourists. There was just another incident of drunkards on a junket to Ibiza. However, harassing polite law abiding visitors is not going to fix the problem. Not mentioned is Spain's influx of economic migrants and refugees, It has granted asylum to approx. 1 million migrants over the past 4 years. They have to live somewhere and they are competing for low cost housing. If there is a problem with some tourists, go after them, and not the quality tourists. Blaming the tourists is a cop out, an easy way to ignore the source of some of the problem, the Spaniards themselves. The landlords are allegedly prioritising foreigners over "locals" because the landlords can get higher rents. Go after the landlords who do it then. The remedy for excessive rent increases is rent controls that require the landlord to file their rent increases with a rental regulator. It is done in other jurisdictions and protects the tenants. There are complaints of apartments being converted to short term rentals and Air BNB. The solution then is to require such rentals to be registered and to pay the taxes that they are most likely avoiding now. If there are too many airbnbs in a building, the number allowed can be limited. This is done elsewhere. It all gets down to Spanish people wanting to make a profit and/or to avoid taxes. That's not the tourists' fault. If tourists are disorderly or litter, then issue tickets and fine them. If they brawl and cause damage, arrest and hold them until they pay the damages. This would require the Spanish police to actually do something other than sit in speed traps, and hang out in the station drinking coffee. -

No. I can tell you the pain is so excruciating it makes you wonder if life is worth living. -
