Pattaya, November 18 [PATTAYA ONE NEWS] : In the early hours of Wednesday Morning, Police Captain Nalongdaert from Pattaya Police Station was called to Soi Yensabai, South Pattaya after a minor road accident led to the arrest of a man suspected of impersonating a Police Volunteer. Officers and Volunteers were called to assist two women invovled in a minor accident at the location and when they arrived they saw a man carrying a two-way radio who had told everyone he was a Police Volunteer and wanted to help. The real Police and Volunteers could not identify the man as a volunteer and he was subsequently detained and found to be in possession of the two-way radio. He was taken back to Pattaya Police Station where he claimed he only wanted to help the two accident victims and was sorry he introduced himself as a Police Volunteer, when in fact, he was not. Khun Haruthai aged 39, who works as a doorman for a bar in Soi 15 off Walking Street, was charged with impersonating a Police Volunteer and for carrying the two-way radio.

WOW, Just about when I thought I had seen it all. Impersonating a Police Volunteer

Nevermind all these patches on my shirt, the two-way radio, and my introduction as a police volunteer...I just wanted to help, I SSS$$$$$$$WEAR

I wonder what the punishment will be for this drop-kick?

I think the police volunteers should be arrested for impersonating a Police Officer! RJK (relax just kidding)

Maybe I'm wrong, however, what is the problem carrying a 2way radio and why get arrested for that??

Good Motorola units are freely available at many computer malls etc.

It may be that the frequencies are the police ones rather than "open" one.

Radio transmitters of any type or size are subject strict licensing in Thailand. I think this could also be the problem, the ones issued by the police are covered by their license, it is a symbol of authority to have a 2 way of any type.
