And now what?

Are they let those illegal immigrants just hang on there, or will the "real immigration officers" continue the money extortion?

Why do you think they nabbed him? He did not pass on the extortion money.

at least he tried to step up in life !!

The fake policeman could find the illegal immigrants.

The real police are in cuckoo cloud only worried about their beauty sleep.

They will come down on him hard, they do not like competition on their turf.

Good collection of guns, uniforms and ID's he got busted with.

police dont want anyone cashing in on their scamming

Very accurate observation.

Why not, evrything is fake?????

I wonder how many people will see his picture in the news and say, "Son of a b*tch! I gave that a**hole 10,000 baht, and now I find out it was for nothing."

Very true, but if the falangs here did not break the law and leave the country / goto immigration when they are suppost to, then this wouldn't happen.

He will just be another tourist living out the dream for a few eeks.

Off topic post remove, please do not hijack the thread

Illegal immigrants getting stung illegally...no way

These wanna be cops are as annoying as the wanna be soldiers are.

So he was working alone ? I am sure you will find his buddies nearby in fake uniforms. If this would ever happen to me I would insist on going to the immigration office.

Don't steel from (illegal) tourist.

The police doesn't allow any competition.

Agreed...

but if the 'real' police ( ) can openly, brazenly rip off foreigners along with most others here, why can't he? Oh I get it, cos he's treading on their big, brown toes.

This man will be soon integrated in the immigration brigade (as instructor)

This guy looked as if he had enough equipment to set up a small department of his own.

Maybe they should hire him as a Consultant to Teach them how to finding the 'illegals' he seems to excellent at it. ??

It's okay. They were fake illegal immigrants he was shaking down I hear.

So, when we go to Soi 6, how do we know who is real, and who is not? I guess if they ask for money, they are not real?

Are you referring to the cops or the girls?
