Misbheaviour during hearing on Jatuporn's bail would be deemed contempt of court

BANGKOK: -- The Criminal Court yesterday set iron rules of practice for the red-shirt group who plan to attend the court proceedings dealing with their leader Jatuporn Promphan’s case on August 9.

Violation of the rules could be considered contempt of court with a sentence of six months' imprisonment, according to senior officials at the court.

Chumpol Chuwong, Chairit Tevapalin, Thammanit Thantiyawarong who are deputy chief of justices at the Criminal Court, Ornusa Krissanalom, secretary of the court and Prayuth Siriran, director of the court directorial office, held a media conference yesterday to explain the rules for people attending the court on that day.

The Criminal Court would issue instruction on Jatuporn's bail following a request from the Office of the Constitution Court to terminate his bail on charges he had harassed judges of the court.

Jatuporn faces terrorism charges following his role in leading the red-shirt group's protests against the then government of Abhisit Vejjajiva in 2010. Chumpol said the Criminal Court needed to set the rules maintaining order during the upcoming proceedings as many of Jatuporn's supporters created trouble and disorder at the court on July 23.

They used loudspeakers to make speeches in front of the court, disturbing the working atmosphere in the court, he said. Some even brought food and drink items to trade in the court compound. Their heavy gathering blocked the road in front of the court, causing traffic congestion, he said.

In order to keep law and order on August 9, the court would exercise its authority in accordance with the Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes to order those attending the court proceedings to behave properly.

Chumpol said people at the court must not commit acts that could be deemed provocative. Making speeches on loudspeakers and trading items in front of or in the court compound would not be allowed.

The Criminal Court requested the police to keep order at the court during the proceedings, according to director of the court office, Prayuth.

Media representatives who wanted to cover the event must register one day in advance, he said.

Once again, the police have to be reminded....... to do their job.

Because, once again, they failed to do so on a previous occasion.

.

Seems their high end attorney($ 5000 for 2 years work, yeah right! ), Mr. Amsterdam has not figured out the Thai system of applying for a gathering permit.

I'm starting to wonder if the UDD/Thaksin/PTP ehrm... conglomerate, is purposely butting heads with the justice system. A simile of their actions in 2009/10 seeking confrontation with the army with the objective of discrediting them and cementing their narrative of Us Vs. Them.

That is to say, they intentionally engage in behaviour that needs to be addressed by the courts, and then turn around, put on their "who, me?" puppy eyes and decry how the bad, biased courts are unjustly prosecuting them.

It worked pretty well (for them, not the country) in "dealing" with Abhisit so I wouldn't be surprised if they'd keep using the same tactic. Once they've mold public perception to their liking they can start pushing for dismantling the justice system and creating something more pliable to their interests.

PPD would call this censorship and not fair. Any other civilized person would agree with the court.

Will the police do what they have to do? It will remain a question mark.

Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung, who oversees the Royal Thai Police, this may be a clue as to how seriously the police will take the courts orders.

A Criminal Court Judiciary that employs Judge/s that allow convicted killers to go free on bail, this may be a clue to how seriously the public views the courts orders......................

Yeaah let's start defaming ALL judges instead. They are all wrong, especially the ones dealing with the Reds and Thaksin.

BTW, did you know that there is a difference between having an opinion about someone (or group) and defaming someone?

Or you can just intimidate them all, along with witnesses, and bribe them as well like Chalerm and his son did. There is an idea for your toilet mouth hero Jatuporn.

I bet you they have tried the bribing option (remember the cookie box?) If that doesn't work intimidation is the next most obvious tactic for the Reds I might assume.

Of course

At a murder trial down here, a forensic department cop, walked over to the defendant in court. Gave him 100 baht, and cigarettes while laughing and joking woth him. What kind of image does that convey.? Police must've been gobsmacked when he was found guilty, (They used his sevices now and again)

I dread the thought of driving down Ladprao or Ratchadapisek. Every time this guy shows up at court that part of town becomes a bigger traffic nightmare than it usually is. Good luck residents, my thoughts are with you.

Behave or go to jail, court warns reds

As they don't understand Option A, my guess is that they will default to Option B.
