Popular Post CarlTyson Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2014 My bike is legal, I wear the helmet and I have a driving license, yet this guy flags me over for inspection. I've seen him around town, a big guy, dressed in the silly tight brown, sweating & taking the job way too seriously, yelling at people, pulling them over. What a tool. Guy comes to Thailand to play policeman. Wannabe cop, working along side Thai Police.....Makes me sick. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 There was an entire thread devoted to this guy and others earlier this year. The first time I saw him was outside Tukcom, but I've also seen him at the entrance to Walking Street. Where did you encounter him? Did he ask to see your licence and rego papers? Was he with a Thai cop at the time of the inspection? Is this guy paid or voluntary? Does he carry a gun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HeijoshinCool Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2014 Next time he stops you, tell him what a good job he is doing, pat him on the back, and give him some homemade brownies. Wait a day, then call it in. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 A couple of post have been removed, as far as I know this person is not a member of Thai Visa so please do not make groundless assumptions. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't get paid and have to buy their own uniform. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThePlant Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2014 I hope his uniform meets the required tightness standards. One wonders what is going to happen to the farang BIB wannabes when the military disbands the the real BIB, cant see the Thai military wanting a gang of Walt policemen marching up and down walking street in their little jack boots Thats an excellent point.

simon43 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 ...yelling at people Seriously? Whatever his own thoughts are about working as a police volunteer, there is no place for 'yelling at people'. I would video him and report him to his Thai superiors. Good manners cost nothing and can be much more successful in resolving a situation than shouting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he'll show his documentation to you but I'm sure you could ask to be taken down to the police station if it's really that important for you.

Popular Post ATF Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2014 To be honest they're not as bad as they used to be. Remember that guy driving around in a yellow Hummer with his gang wearing SWAT vests. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post neverdie Posted December 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2014 Policing is a difficult job for real police with full authority and powers. I can't imagine trying to do the job as a wannabe volunteer. It's bad enough when something goes wrong as a real policeman, if something goes wrong for one of these guys I'm sure the RTP will back them up about 1% of the time. Sweating and yelling and not getting paid. Sounds like fun NOT ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonseeker Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 There is good ones & bad ones among them. I would feel like a clown being part of them. BTW. A while back i watched that guy mentioned racing down Soi Bouakao with a another traffic cop on a bike, he had his blue/reds flashing and a siren screaming. Hilarious. I enjoy watching police work of any kind here. Always good entertainment. So completely ridiculous and unprofessional. Sitting around in groups, drinking, eating, playing with their smart-phones and when something goes down running around like a bunch of chicken chased by a dog. No idea about discipline, procedures and real police work. But as I said, there are some good guys with them, but they can't change the system. Thank you to the good ones and enjoy a pleasant weekend. MS> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a cop was a good guy when he started out, the system would soon turn him bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
