jerrysteve Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Do they mean: "The lack Integrity or Honesty (especially Susceptibility to Bribery); the use of a position for dishonest gain. A state of progressive Putrefaction. Moral Perversion , Impairment of Virtue & Moral Principles ." That seems perfectly Normal All Countries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudolus Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 It's quite sad that the Police of a country has such a well deserved reputation that their sole purpose is to extort money from people; after all, no one in the country actually wants to deal with them so stays well clear even if they have had a crime committed against them. So they have no real job to do now apart from making money through corruption for the godfathers. The problem is though is anyone ever bothered to clean them all out, they would take off their uniforms but carry on regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbrock Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I knew they were the best money could buy. Love it! That should be their next slogan: Royal Thai Police - The Best Money Can Buy I wonder how many posters on here have added to it through bribing police with cash in order to not be given a driving tickets....Be honest please. I see it more as extortion. Pay this amount now, or we'll make it so difficult for you that you wish you had. was "encouraged" to give a donation once. I have no idea what ticket I would have been given had I not complied, but I'm sure he would have made something up. I had an horrendous motorcycle accident just last Sunday; after Nathon hospital severely maltreated me, pushing me out onto the street unable to walk due to (what I was sure was) a broken leg and sprained ankles, I had to go to the police station in Lamai - so they could assist with the negotiated settlement. It turned out that the guy who hit me was waiting there the whole time (as well as his brother, uncle, aunt, cousins, a few chickens, his boss, the owner of a second motorbike that was allegedly 'involved', and anyone else who wanted to see the farang get extorted). It then dawned on me why the Nathon hospital was in such a hurry to get me out! I thought it was through sheer incompetence, but now I suspect other inducements. The big copper says to me, 'You wrong, you pay 20,000 baht, it finished now. You not pay, you go to Bophut, you go to court - take long time.' As I was in immense pain, and wanted to get to a decent hospital STAT, I paid - despite my belief (since proven) that I wasn't completely in the wrong, despite the damage to SUV the hit our bike was negligible, and despite the mysteriousness of the second bike's involvement. Boring postscript: I then went to Bangkok International Hospital in Chaweng, and the care there was amazing! Turns out I had broken my left big toe, my right leg (fibula), and my left elbow, as well as many other injuries not treated in Nathon... It's quite sad that the Police of a country has such a well deserved reputation that their sole purpose is to extort money from people; after all, no one in the country actually wants to deal with them so stays well clear even if they have had a crime committed against them. So they have no real job to do now apart from making money through corruption for the godfathers. The problem is though is anyone ever bothered to clean them all out, they would take off their uniforms but carry on regardless. Too true.

folium Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 My son (10) asked me, what would happen if there were no police. I gave it some thought and then replyed: "Nothing". The law isn't enforced anyway, so why do we actually need a police? Anybody? Youngsters are truly perceptive. My similarly aged boy during lunch outside a restaurant in Chiang Mai, watched a police car go by at speed lights flashing. " I've never seen that before Dad", "what's that?" "A policeman in a hurry to catch a bad person"!! Sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I wonder how many posters on here have added to it through bribing police with cash in order to not be given a driving tickets.... Be honest please. What is worse? Taking a bribe or attempting to bribe? Just the other day my Wife got a ticket so next day she went to the cop shop and payed the fine. I asked why didn't you just try bribe the cop like most Farang do? She looked at me very surprised and answed that's breaking the law!! This was downtown Pattaya too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangFerang Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 In the US, corruption benefits the people at the top most, and is often legislated. At least here the little guy gets a piece of the pie. In the US, a traffic ticket you disagree with means losing time at work, going to court, and then hoping your case isn't moved to another date. I would rather just pay the cops. Oddly, I do notice farang who don't wear helmets are stopped, and as the cop either explains or writes out the ticket a few dozen Thais drive by, three stacked on a scooter, smiling and wearing no helmets... LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsailor35 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The most corrupt agency in Thailand... that's quite an achievement. I'm sure their boss will be very proud, whoever he is.

OzMick Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 So; now the Ombudsman has made this 'winning position' official, what does the Thai Government intend to do about it? Call in Thaksins brother and fire him, along with every other high ranking Police Chief, depriving them of any pension entitlements and all the other privilege's these crooks have come to expect? Somehow I think that they will be 'too busy' to worry about such trivial matters. Actually the government removed the police chief in Sept 2011, who at the time was quoted as saying "I have been removed for a reason that has nothing to do with my ability or short comings"......there followed the exposure of casinos 'protected' by the police Now we can expect the incumbent to be removed for ignoring corruption?
