kurgen Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Almost everyday on the local news I hear reports about people getting murdered and mutilated around the Pattaya area.When I think about it,it's very rare that the hold a 'press conferance ' showing the culprits.This can surely mean only 2 things. 1:The police are camera shy , or 2:The police don't catch them. Are there any statistics available for clean up rates. I know that when someone jumps from the tenth floor,with their throat cut,hands cuffed behind their back and 3 bullets in the back of their head,this is obviously suicide,but what about the others that aren't so clear cut ? What about all the fatal crashes where drivers leg it (often leaving their vehicles behind) surely these drivers are easy to locate...aren't they ? Is it the same all over Thailand or is Pattaya in a class of its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 The investigative powers of the Royal Thai police are around zero. When they do catch someone it is due to a tip off, or sheer blind luck. The press conferences that they still hold are illegal. Even here the constitution says you are innocent until proved guilty in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Maybe I spoke too soon. I see the police arrested in the South in regard to the missing Lawyer, have been sacked already. Did I miss the trial? Must have been a very quick affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 They are not really fired, just a little bit Once proven not guilty they will get their jobs back. Probably we never hear of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangsaen bob Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I gave sworn testimony in three cases, regarding thieft and fraud. Nothing was ever done. I guess because it was falang vs. falang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimee Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I'm getting away with murder too! How many times can one ask questions regarding back-2-back visas? Endless I guess. I refer you to the visa section. Yawn. Thaimee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
