ThaiSanookGuy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello, Do you know if it is legal to post a list of police checkpints in Thailand ? They are harassing us, so let's fight back ! I never respected any cop anywhere in the world and I am not going to start here ! Hope you feel the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sorry to dash your hopes, but no, I don't feel the same way........................ As an aside, what would be the point of posting a list of police checkpoints anyway? All they have to do is see the list and change the locations of the checkpoints so you would have to compile a new list. Leave it the way it is, the local drums pass that information quite well, as they have done for decades.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATF Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Yes the checkpoints are mobile and they are only manned during certain hours. Expect an exponential increase around New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smutcakes Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Talking of checkpoints, for any car drivers out there, i was stopped by police on the Ekkamai over pass to Rama 9 at 3.30am this morning and breathalyzed. Judging by the state of people falling out some of the bars on Ekkamai road i presume it was a productive stop. First time in 8 years of doing 10's of thousands of km a year that i have been stopped and actually breathalyzed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toknarok Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 In Western Australia the police actually published in advance where there radar speed traps were to be located. Their thinking being that such knowledge would slow drivers down and drive more carefully. Over the years there have been many, many instances of TVisa posters naming locations of activities of the BIB, I've never once heard that it might in any way be illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdanielmcev Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Only a criminal wouldn't like cops. Aiding and abetting a crime is a crime in Thailand, though they don't call it that. Suppose a drunk avoids a checkpoint reading your list, kills a couple, or you. You happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malt25 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 "I never respected any cop anywhere in the world and I am not going to start here !" Wow, what an attitude. Me thinks you have issues.... & not only with the cops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 " i never respected any cop anywhere in the world " I wonder why that is? Time to look in the mirror perhaps. I let a cop make his first bust ever....shame for him really. The Sergeant back at the station sent him to make some tea while the pair of us had a chinwag about the best designer spots on the Kings Rd. I did get a free short time room and a photo for my efforts though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahSiam Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Only a criminal wouldn't like cops. Idiotic statement. The majority of Thais absolutely despise the police but they're not criminals. A lot of people have issues with the police in other countries because of their heavy handedness and propensity for profiling. I'll sit back and wait for the time-honored "if they've done nothing wrong, they've nothing to fear" line but it seems that with every passing day, more and more people have something to fear from law enforcement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bet that the only time you ever drove over the speed limit that you went straight to the poilce station and turned yourself in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATF Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 There's an old saying that says "Nothing Good Happens After Midnight". If your out after midnight chances are that you are drunk or have been taking drugs. Have you ever noticed that the Cops don't set up checkpoints at 06.00 AM? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's what happens, when they are always skirting along the edges of the law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a young bloke I use to love the night shift. Plenty of action and biffo. Never a dull moment. Full moon late shifts were always exciting. Ahh the good old days, when we use to pick grubs up and give them a good shaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
