webfact Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Police officers, transferred after gambling raids, reinstatedTHE NATIONBANGKOK: -- THE officers from three police stations given snap transfers following military raids on illicit casinos have been abruptly reinstated after an internal investigation found that they were not at fault.Military officials had conducted frequent raids on gambling dens located in their precincts.The men from the Lat Phrao, Bang Khen and Khok Khram police stations were not to blame, Pol Lt General Sriwara Ransibrahmanakul, head of Metropolitan Police, said yesterday.Gambling dens and gambling activities were entirely different matters, he said without elaborating.Police "may have not monitored the gambling activities very thoroughly" and were not making an excuse, he said, adding that he would follow the National Council for Peace and Order policy against vice and gambling.Pol Maj-General Itthiphol Phiriyaphinyo, deputy Metropolitan Police chief, said the searches were actually joint operations by local police and troops.Police had notified the soldiers before, so the police at those stations were neither responsible for the underground gaming activities nor negligent in their duty to suppress vice and gambling, he added.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Police-officers-transferred-after-gambling-raids-r-30255140.html-- The Nation 2015-03-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerojero Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yes, of course. How could it be otherwise. Police are not involved in the gambling whatsoever but simply failed to do their job. Nothing wrong here. Back to same same, carry on with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lovetotravel Posted March 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm no fan of the police, but it's hard to blame them for everything illegal that goes on in their districts. This happens in every police district in every country in the world. The defining criteria would be if they were involved in these activities. But I doubt we'll ever know that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoRippo Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Chuwit as Police Chief and the motorbike taxis as officers => within one week, all the places making money on the vice will be identified and published in the newspapers.

Popular Post rametindallas Posted March 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Police officers, transferred after gambling raids, reinstated Why am I not the least bit surprised? Police "may have not monitored the gambling activities very thoroughly" What they really mean is they were not monitored at all. Either paid or ordered by superiors to look the other way and if they were ordered by corrupt superiors to look the other way, you can't really justify punishing them. This is not the Nuremberg trials and no one died or started a war, so, 'just following orders' is a justifiable defense on the part of the officers.

cup-O-coffee Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 "Police officers"... good grief! Gamble to your hearts content, and when the chips are down, stall after dialing for help. It tempts me to think of wishing about concrete trucks going out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernphil Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 What is a gambling den ? There is what I would call a gambling den 100 metres from where I live. It is a cock fighting pit. Only reason it is there is for gambling. I said to my wife " 'ere I thought it was illegal and the BIbs live only down the road " To which she told me a BIB owns it. Oh well TIT.

WhizBang Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Words fail me, so all I can say is TiT. As for the junta reforming the police or putting an end to corruption, it would seem the junta are not being very successful.. Sort of like their solution to solving the price of lottery tickets. Oh well, in another 4 to 6 years we will have another coup and yet another charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they get off their <deleted> and look for any criminal activities in their areas. No lets stop some motorists they are all criminals. Because someone having a game of cards for a few baht is going to cause a whole lot more hurt than a motorist driving 100mph whilst 4 times over the drink/drive limit.

ToddinChonburi Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 So the military goes out and , what , tries to enforce thai laws and then someone in the corrupt office of the police turns around and says no corruption here. So really when you think about it, this top cop is laughing in the face of the General. Who is really in charge ? During the Generals press conferences they should maybe point out these things and ask him , Who is in charge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleyclarkey Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Polioce caught in illicit casinos Am I missing something here? When I last looked "Illicit" meant illegal. The police are supposed to stop illegal activities. No....I must have it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
