Police Uncover Drugs in Bag Marked 'Definitely Not a Bag Full of Drugs'

[veleron]

Alot of crimes happening in Pattaya that goes under the radar of the police and authority. What if the public becomes journalist and the eye of the authority to expose the immoral and wrongdoers in Pattaya? 

 

In Singapore there is a citizen journalism trend and it is very famous, which is name Stomp. The website is  http://www.stomp.com.sg/. It is back by Singapore Press Holding which is the monopoly media firm in Singapore. It is widely successful and some crimes like reckless driving, (Singaporeans have cam on their cars) fighting, spitting, the young ones did not give up their seats in the MRT to the old ones, and many more. Some serious offenders caught on this website by public will get punishment from the authority. People behave in public as it is very famous to hear people saying "Don't do that, later will get Stomped."

 

What if this trend is happening in Pattaya? will the wrong doers be more afraid if knowing that many eyes are on them? If we have a platform to post all the videos, pictures into a famous site, this will increase awareness of the public and humiliate the wrongdoers. Of course this need to be back by big media company to regulate and come out with the platform. Youtube is good but it is too diverse. 

 

Just my 2 cents.

What works in Singapore cannot work in Pattaya. Thailand has draconian libel laws which would prohibit any decent media company from operating what you suggest.

Bad idea if everyone can decide what is wrong and what not. I'm also not a friend of denounce. And i hope nobody wants a new nazi germany.

Wow, this is serious crime fighting stuff being proposed here. Hard core crimes like spitting, reckless driving and young ones who do not give up seats in MRT (we can substitute Baht buses here) need to be eradicated. Prostitution should be mentioned as another 'serious' crime being committed in Pattaya so the mind is boggling as to what Veleron has in mind here? Will negotiating a bar fine be filmed and used as evidence or will the criminals need to be filmed in 'the act' to be exposed via webcam? I am visualising these crime fighters visiting bars wearing crash helmets (they will need them) with cameras attached hunting down the crims. Who knows maybe the idea will be adopted by the new military regime and Veleron will be hailed as the hero who saved Pattaya.

A similar, but more hardcore, thing was tried once before. It left more than 2,500 people dead - many of them victims purely of malice.
