RakJungTorlae Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I was told there is a lawyer who prosecutes corrupt police and she is spreading fear quickly among the bad eggs. She is very good devoted apparently. Best try to gather some evidence though if you are determent to help your neighbor. If I get more info on the lawyer I will send it your way.

Pitbullman1 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 First of all, you will require rock solid evidence that this is truly happening, and then as to why this is happening. If your friend is in the wrong then he may find the egg on his face and get himself in to some serious trouble. If your friend has done nothing wrong to inititate this corruption then he will have to approach a Police Commander who is working out of this Policeman's Province and make a formal complaint. It wouldn't do him any harm to also get in touch with a lawyer, again based out of this Policeman's reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakhar Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) In my opinion, one can not and does not get rich in Thailand with out some "degree" of coruption. So your friend probably does have some "history" on his hands that he would care not to have exposed.\ So even IF he is in the right in the particular situation, he may win the battle, but he will lose the war. I'd steer clear. Edited November 15, 2009 by Dakhar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 leave it to your neighbour. if he asked you for advice, tell him to record all conversations and on camera. Write down notes serial numbers and even mark them. At the same time go to the authorities. but I do suspect, that your neighbour was couth red handed on some large deal and now payes back, instead of getting sentenced for 5-10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpico Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 This Mercedes driving Policeman owns a 12 million bt condo in our building. He refuses to pay the maintenance fees. His overdue bill is 300,000 bt. He refused to respond to registered mail and a legal notice so we shut off his water supply. Now he is attempting to extort a another resident to pay off his unpaid balance. He being abusive and threatening to the building staff too. We checked him out and discovered he owes another acquaintance 8 million bt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideswings Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Please be careful whatever course you and your neighbor choose to go. While you can be applauded for trying to help a neighbor, if you are not careful you might end up like the real-life Serpico who tried to find justice in a corrupt system.

otherstuff1957 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Your neighbor should handle this Thai style: avoid direct confrontation with the rogue cop. Go on vacation for a week or two (if possible) with no forwarding address. Or empty his bank account & then show the cop that he would love to help, but has no money. Or tell him that he can loan the money, but he has to wait 2 weeks & then keep dragging it out. Etc.. etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanook2me Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Me and my friends lives in Thailand are so boring compared to yours Serpico... We should have a busmans holiday so i can see all these rogue things in Thailand first hand...because even after 10 years here its only ever vicariously through you and TV that i get to read about all this stuff. I'm sure it happens and i don't doubt anything you post or say however little me just living here with a normal Thai lass not involved in big business, building houses in the sticks etc never ever come across the problems and situations you do... How do you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujirasan Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Police head quarters in Bangkok has anti corruption unit, but it is far from ideal, however if you have firm evidence approach them and if you are foreigner go to tourist police tend to be able to deal with regular police and their extortive behavior, much better than the any other agency. Extortion is common practice there and is nothing new, it is fact of life and one has to live with it. Only if it is left unchecked with serve to increase the appetite of the reprobate. If you got in deep sh.......... message me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lawyer route is best, if you can get evidence. Written evidence would be best, with video as support. Please let all of us know this lawyer's contact info, as it's good to know that someone is willing to go up against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm yeah one of my (Thai) secretaries rented a house to a policeman for a couple of years and he never paid any rent ever. It also kind of half burnt down when he left and she had to rebuild it. She couldnt do anything about any of it as he was well connected although of low rank and she wasnt and wanted a long healthy life with no worry as she told me. I wouldnt advise getting involved in these situations unless you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building has both a management company and a juristic person, and it is up to them to handle the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maizefarmer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Serpico - there are things you can do - having good evidence is a start (covert IP video camera and audio will go a long way) - but how about sharing some background info - how does this situation come about, what has he got you on that he thinks is worth Baht300K?

parryhandy Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Why does he need anything on anybody ? Maybe he is demanding 300k because he can. He arrests someone for *insert crime and who does the courts believe ? I would imagine guilt or innocence does not even enter into it. I have asked this question before and never got a response.What stops the police here totally running amok ?
