The police report was typed up on a genuine version of MS Office running on a genuine version of MS Windows by officers who only have original Rayban glasses married to ladies who only have original Louis Vuitton bags............

Third one, the smartest one, bought her way out. Remember corruption in Phuket?

Thought most of the merchandise in Thailand are counterfeit goods. How possibly is the authorities going to arrest all of the sellers?

The 3 arrested probably refused to pay tea money or somehow offended the officers.

A reminder to give brown envelope ....

Another great photo opportunity though

[wotsdermatter]

It might help if they went after those who arrange for the goods to fall off of the back of trucks and sell on those goods, etc., than those selling openly in markets. (Probably though those people are "untouchables". If the suppliers were cut off then there would be no outlets available to sell from. However, this is not a country that applies such logic and will always be part of the so called developing world. Places like MBK, the weekend market, Pratumwen, etc., never seem to be put out of business/raided, even though their commodities are copies.
