Kocsis Szabolcs Laszlo, a 41-year-old Hungarian national, was arrested in Phuket on March 15 for alleged dope smuggling. The man was presented to the press in Bangkok after his arrest.

The man was wanted by police for allegedly smuggling marijuana (35 kilos) from the Netherlands to Hungary seven times.

One case included an alleged passport forger from Pakistan. The arrests also included a Finnish person wanted for tax evasion and fraud, and an individual from France who was wanted for online trade fraud.

Perhaps the idea is, if you report the arrest, twice, the general public will think police have done a good job, twice.

Don't believe it, no pictures of pointers.

Right about the no pointers no crime like if the glove doesn't fit you can't convict

It's high time to, like, legalize it, man.
