[fat boy slim]

After trying to ripoff 30,000 baht from a young Brit by Planting drugs on him, the young lad went to the police who actually laid a trap to catch the bent copper and his partner. Read story from link below.

The thing that is amasing is not that the police caught the guy but for his crime he is being " Transfered to a VERY INACTIVE POST "

What does this mean and why hasn't the policeman been sacked and prosecuted. Any comments please.

Well done the Brit

/Mod Edit - typo's in thread title and post fixed... "rouge police"...

Maybe that wasn't a typo, he was undercover after all.

I heard a story yesterday about a cop in pattayaland 2 performing some very strange behavior to get money from 2 English guys, I won't go into the details, it happened on Monday

[taxexile]

I won't go into the details

"Moved to an inactive post"

Sometimes this place is just a joke, but then again TiT

Are you supposed to plant drugs on innocent people while you're undercover?

Hope this "Brave Brit" has got himself out of the country..... hel_l hath no fury like a Thai Policeman with no access to 'tea money'

[Chang_paarp]

I hope he sent a copy of the newspaper article home to mum so she has a current photo to show if he disappears.

Brave lad.

[Pattayatony]

They wonder why the tourist numbers are down....... Amazing Thailand

Sitting in The Shamrock Bar a couple of days ago I saw the hairy lipped Thai guy that planted the drugs. He was doing his usual touting for naughty shows, photo menu card in hand. He heard me point him out, came over and said "everything ok now", thinking perhaps I had been concerned for him. What scum! He has been coming down in the world; before he was a manager in Jupiter on Pattayaland II, then a tout, then arrested in a Pattaya City News piece on inter-soi gang fights, then busted for trying to set up the Englishman.

I am with others here who would be very careful if i was still in Pattaya after dobbing in a Thai.

Retribution could be swift and merciless.

I think inactive post will mean No have to work...Money

In Thailand I would have thought Inactive Post = No work....money

Here in Canada they often suspend cops WITH pay.

Nice work if you can get it...

[genobkk]

inactive should mean sitll working but NOT on the beat, maybe paper work...that is my understanding

In order to be able to get transferred to Pattaya - which is considered one of the most lucrative assignments in the force - a police officer needs money.

There is much demand among the BIB to be stationed here because of the huge earnings a posting here brings to those officers.

Sounds like the arresting officers were only paying lip-service to the press on this one in stating he would be transfrred to an inactive position.

The unabashed corruption that exists at that particular station couldn't be more obvious, could it?

pretty much as I see it as well, very little effort to cover up anything. The only time you do see it is when the BKK gang rides into town for their share of the loot.
