I'm only being half flippant, but I would like to know how to, what would happen if you tried to, stop one of the fat sweaty crash helmet-less coppers frequently seen riding around on their motorbikes in town, and if you tried to detain them while calling loudly for police assistance!

I mean, I'm only worried about their safety on the mean streets of Pattaya, not their outrageous double standards.

And what would happen if you went into Soi 9 with a digital camera with a photograph of one riding their motorbike without a helmet wishing to make an official complaint?

Would the Foreign Tourist Police stationed down there care to comment on the correct procedure?

I think we should be told.

Wise up min!!!!

What would happen? beaten senseless, gun to head even?

Why not try and report back here.

I know a policeman inAustralia who booked the Deputy COmmissioner with drunk driving and pushed it. The policeman now drives a bus in Perth. Here you would most likely be under the bus.

You want to what?

Trying to get the posting numbers up eh sharecropper?

we would be much interested in the outcome...no need to report back, guess it will be covered in the local news...

Don't hold your breath. With press self-censorshp the way it is, I could be gone anyt.........

See you in heaven before me

No truth in the rumor that you are changing your name to share a copper then?

No. I said I'm changing it to Scare a Copper.

From a business point of view (Pattaya One News)....go for it!!!

From an FTPA point of view....just make sure he does not have access to your personal details when the arrest papers are processed

don't think not wearing a helmet is an arrestable offence so it would have to be something else like a serious assault theft attempetd theft muder or attempted murder or even drunk driving, the provision for arrest is much the same in any country, there would need to be something pretty serious going on for a member of the public to perform such an act.

You will die!

Guess you could try and ask him for 200 Baht not to report him.

What a great idea!

Maybe I should organise a Thai Visa whip-round for prize money, and a plane ticket out of here, with Howard driving my getaway car to the airport for protection, so he can get an exclusive interview (to be paid for of course).

do not give him billnote or you dead

You give it to me for free and I will make sure you can clear passport control

Er thanks. I'll just check what Niels will offer and come back to you.

Nothing beats a bidding war with the media.

I'm waiting for a vigilante group of falang who have been pushed to the limit to start taking bad Thais out.
