Police officer fired, faces probe for 'forgery'

[Don Aleman]

We should have a " Police Officer Gets Fired Day " every year in Thailand as, of some 23,675

tips/suggestions/videos/complaints this, I believe was the first " FIRED" solution. He's probably still mumbling to himself " transferred, unassigned, why just me ?"

Keep on cleaning the police house...it's so dirty!!!

Yes, it can't be doing any harm. However, there are a number of strange things about that particular news item. Who, actually owns that particular parlor, is certainly one of the more leading questions.

"Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars...." Did police hold some lottery to find sacrificial lamb to toss to press? Somehow busting a cop for busting a knocking shop doesn't really sound all that much like a crackdown on corruption, but like most of the crackdowns, political retribution.

When no police action is taken, there is often criticism.

When police action is taken, there is often criticism.

Speculation, in any case, seems an abundant commodity.

Fact or additional information is lacking from self appointed experts on Thai internal affairs.

Fact or additional information sadly lacking from most news reports. Thai Journo's do not seem to know how to ask proper questions. Even if it is reported "In answer to the question as to who actually owns the XXXC parlor POL Maj XYZ answered that he was not at liberty to answer that question. Journo's have to learn to ask questions & Police have to learn get used to being asked. Who,knows, one day the might even start answering some. But if they are never asked, they will never answer & news items will continue to be full of confusing un-researched semi-facts & self aggrandizement.

In the good old USA Thank God all the Police are honest and love all the citzens they police

I never heard of anything bad and Bas****ds make over 60,000 USA dollars a year

How we're you able to log on and make this post as I thought U.S. prisons didn't allow inmates to have Internet access.

Why are lying and saying I am in Prison

If you are in Thailand I may sue you.

Or Meet me in face in Pattaya I will buy you a beer and then teach you some manners

Ok, you're out now...that explains it.

Yes, instead of transferring the police to another post, FIRE THEM! There are plenty decent Thais. who won't look the other way to fleece.

You're looking at this all from the wrong angle. Thai journos know how to ask proper questions, but they're also smart enough not to ask questions that will see them end up in jail. For example, when was the last time a reporter working for any of the major Thai newspapers or tv stations was charged with LM? It's frustrating reading Thai news reports but often there's a reason for the lack of investigative reporting.

As Kenny says...

" If you're gonna play the game, boy

You gotta learn to play it right

You've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run "

Yes, I met the owner of who owns most of these parlors, and the police are being paid plenty to keep it under the carpet.

There are so many land, building, business transfers floating around, that nobody can catch these guys.

Ficticious names being rolled out, that it takes months/years to track down a guy very low on the totem pole, transfering licsenses to his cousins brother to his sisters stepson....that live in remote areas of Thailand or out of the country.....etc......GET IT?

there was probably some petty disagreement behind the scenes.

now the colonel's boss has to find a lucrative replacement job for the colonel to make up for it.

Once they finish with the police force, then it onto the military?

Yep, and after them , ooh the list is too long to put here.

Hang on a minute, what an aviation's police officer doing searching massage parlours now?

are those girls have wings now or have their privet parts started rotating like a propellers?

That could be nice .

[bangrak]

No 'happy end' for that Denchai at the massage parlour then?
