Asiantravel Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I have often seen this dark green coloured jeep parked in big C extra on Pattaya Klang . It says traffic police on the side as well, as Thai writing which I can't understand. The police badge ( in Thai ) looks reasonably authentic as well as the rooftop red light. The biggest surprise is when the doors open a regular farang middle-aged man and woman get out wearing casual clothes so the odds are that it is a fake police vehicle. I'm just surprised that they can get away with this? And I wonder what is the motivation to do this? Just for fun? I don't believe anything like this would be allowed by the authorities in most Western countries.

Popular Post petercool Posted December 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2014 The vehicle belongs to the leader of the Highway Police foreign volunteers and has stickers saying it is speeder check vehicle number xxx as well as the police lights on top. Obviously the highway police have authorised this but all who see it feel it is way over the top and an unnecessary display of any role he plays. PS the Thai on the side - as opposed to letters on the front window - simply give the emergency number for "urgent and serious" matters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So presumably he has some authority to pull people over for speeding ? The trouble is if he pulled me over for speeding dressed casually the way he was today and with a farang lady sitting in the passenger seat I would never be able to take them seriously. I would think they were pranksters Edited December 22, 2014 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 ^^^ I doubt very much that he has that authority unless accompanied by a Highway Police officer and in Volunteer uniform himself (they are Orange coveralls) and on official duty at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThePlant Posted December 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2014 If he doesn't have any authority what a waste of time. Must have a seriously fragile ego... I hope people point at him and laugh when he drives by or they come across him.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josasp Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) About a year ago I noticed a Hummer H2 turn on police sirens and hidden red/blue lights, speeding and forcing vehicles aside. Only to stop at the 24h Mart on Thappraya/Thepprasit intersection to buy cigarettes, regular farang.Sometimes I wonder how people dare, it had a slim led red/blue lightbar on the ceiling and leds hidden all over.Hard to notice when the stuff was turned off, have a photo somewhere of the car and plates.What if that guy had run into the real police, goddamnit.

You must be one of the few normal and positive guys in these police forces. Congrats. I have lived in several countries / cities, but not seen anything like the Pattaya farang obsession with police matters. Says a bit something about many of them.

ATF Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Why bother this guy has absolutely no authority to pull anyone over. He won't be allowed police plates on his vehicle and if he went to Bangkok the real cops would probably pull him over anyway. He must be a very insecure person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter, How on earth could they check speed from that pile of crap? Are you telling us it's got a radar fitted to it? A 'Checked Speedometer' ? Even its own tyres look non original.....its instrumentation would be out.... CrAzy. How embarrassing for these people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's a fake the guy that drives this has the authority to inspect vehicles during official police checkpoints as a member of the Thai Traffic Police Volunteers, not play Starsky and Hutch screaming around Pattaya pulling people over. If you want to buy flashing lights and stickers and put them on your car you can, and you will have the exact same authority as this clown.

Popular Post Beardog Posted December 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2014 Life has to be pretty boring to become a non paid rent a cop. I doubt if I would stop for that car -Jeep unless he is the brown & yellow state type vehicle I usually just wave back to them. Why bother if he has no power to enforce & has to wait for a cop to come to write the ticket....He has zero autority & just is bored in Pattaya. Just sayin.... & his jeep unless it is packing a serious 500-600 hp engine all he see's is the tail lights of My Kawasaki getting dimmer & dimmer. Jeeps are toads on the road Hella slow. Usually any official police outfit would make sure he had some type of interceptor engine to at least stay up with a speeder. My old Yamaha Nuovo could probably outrun his jeep engine.

luudee Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Why is everybody on this guys back ? Are you jealous ? Whats the issue with a farang volunteer with an official vehicle ? Surely he too has to play by the rules. Unless he did pull you over all alone and play a big shit, why is everybody jumping on him ??? luudee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
