Popular Post EricBerg Posted October 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2014 So it's a new type of rice scheme/scam. This time it's for the benefit of the coppers. And it will not be funded with public money, but by random victims. Run farangs, run! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 this project will be a recipe for entrapment Over the weekend Adul also said that police officers had been instructed not to use cameras or ' stealth ' devices to gather evidence as it might make the public feel the police are their enemy ! It's all down to a motorists word against police who can so easily produce Bt 50 or 100 notes as ' proof ' of the bribe offered. I hope a note is kept of the serial nos of the notes to see how often the same officers produce them as ' evidence '. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Estrada Posted October 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2014 Why I love Thailand. Now the police B10,000 reward is back on, but this time the police will give B10,000 to any policemen that refuse a bribe and alternatively B10,000 to the public if they photograph a policeman taking a bribe. However these rewards come from the police welfare fund which is supposed to provide assistance to injured policemen or the families of policemen who die in the line of duty. As such, surely this is misappropration of welfare funds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Cops-may-still-get-rewards-for-charging-people-off-30245406.html -- The Nation 2014-10-14 For the amount of bribes that go on daily with the RTP how could one sustain handing out 10,000฿ each offense. One would wonder who passed this by the financial department with apparent declining incomes and the fact that police already receive a monthly payment for enforcing the law called a salary. Just like we like catching people breaking rules on business, work permits, visa's, not wearing their helmets and other hot topics... Why not charge these corrupt officers with real fines and jail time.. Im sure after a few police go away and disappear some others may consider how much they value their life on the outside. NSW in Australia among other states had huge corruption issues and it was dealt with not by handing out more money to corrupt officers but enforcing the actual law! Again, if Thailand wants to promote themselves, it won't be done by a display of rewarding officers with what virtually is a bribe itself.. Incentives are rewards for good work, and to remain as an incentive it can not be handed out on every instance. Another sign that the police are in more control on the bottom of the tree rather than the top... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Is he attempting to address the imbalance of income between the good cops and the bad cops? It is unfair that bad 'uns have the means to invest in larger houses, top range vehicles, and immune bars and pubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokfrog Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 start with decent wages this would be a change. Paying police on the ground a decent wage is a start. However, the current system feeds so much money up the chain to the high level cops that they would probably lose millions of baht a year if they had to make do on a salary appropriate to their position. The only way to really stop the corruption is to aggressively follow the money, prosecute, and start sending them to jail. But highly unlikely !!!

klauskunkel Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I do wholeheartedly support this project. As a fact, I support anything and everything the Thai Police do and plan to do. The more the merrier, I say. Anything that showcases what the Thai Police is all about, their priorities, their loyalties, their mandates, their communication skills, their intelligence, their superiority in everything they touch, their chain of command, their integrity, their ethics... - these are all highlighted by projects like this.

The police will "gaengjai" the Thai people so as not to incur any unnecessary hardships, but for those of us with "white" skin, look out! I can see new YouTube channels being created just for this.

EnglishJohn Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 So the plan is to scare the public into not offering bribes because he knows full well the police are so corrupt, they will readily accept them. Then when the scheme does end, the public will have been drained of some more cash, no corrupt police will have been caught and everything will go back to normal. If he really wanted to stop bribery, the reward would go to people who give evidence of the dirty cops accepting illegal payments - who would then be immediately dismissed from the force. But we all know the police have no intention of doing that and never will if they are left to sort themselves out. This charade is to appease the PM and try to avoid someone coming in and doing it for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaltsc Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) "Adul said he supported the project because it would boost the morale of good police." And here sits little naive me who thought that a "good" public servant receives his reward from knowing he is doing a good job serving the public in the best possible ethical manner. It never crossed my mind that morale of the good police could only be boosted by boosting their salaries through entrapment. In Thailand it is called a morale booster. In other parts of the world it is called a "shakedown". Edited October 14, 2014 by jaltsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
