rafval Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) whats the legality of them entering rooms with just a flash of their card, I only ask because i was lying naked on my bed and one comes in demanding to see my passport, seemed a little strange to me, but anyway, next time feel free to introduce yourself, I mean you did flash your card but can you let me get dressed next time before you do your little beach road whore pimping job? oh yeah, I had a word to the staff at PS about the other guy whos room you searched, he doesnt know it because you didnt have the courtesy to tell him, but the little lady was able to buy some yaba with the money you got from him as well dont get me wrong, Im not against the volunteers at all, this guys may lose his job with any luck, but entering a persons room without permission is kind of personal and I know Im not the first, if someone uses a police ID to illegally enter my room its going to be public?

Declan Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Worldwide Police standard is that they will not enter any persons abode unless invited, without a search warrant. This does apply in Thailand. Power trips by these guys in Pattaya go usually unreported, well done for reporting it but u should have made a police complaint. Dec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec yes, will make a formal complaint but was rather annoyed and if hes going to use his police ID to do work that isnt a tourist police matter, in fact hes working for beach girls, then he has to realize its going public sooner or latter, for one thing its not as if the beach ladies dont tell other people and use him as a threat, for another not everyone is scared of his gestapo mannerI will say I have spoken to several volunteer police here and they certainly dont approve of what hes doing Edited April 23, 2010 by rafval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly agree, the ones I have spoken to seem like nice guys and seem to find his behavior totally unacceptable, Im only talking about the one guy here, but he does use his police credentials to work as a pimp for beach ladies and has been doing so for some time so naturally it will reflect on the whole volunteer police force Edited April 24, 2010 by rafval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so....but they are real policemen...persons in question are not real policemen... If said person had turned up at the OP place with a real BiB in tow, and person concerned was there to provide translation between the real BIB and OP its one thing, but it appears the person concerned turned up on his own demanding entry...not the same thing. I dont have a problem with the concept of farang volunteer "police", but do feel in Pattaya they "employ" some very suspect characters who are wanna-bee's, who are on a power trip and employ Gestapo tactics. OP is right to put in a formal complaint. There are most likely persons in the volunteer's who are doing it for the right reasons, but appears there are individuals involved who not acting in the same sprirt and therefore tarnishing the whole thing, so any good they are doing is being over shadowed by the bad things they are doing...
