skildpadden Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 "At 3am, Thalang poilice were called to the scene of an accident....." "Upon arrival, police and rescue workers found......." What that is actually news worthy - as news articles usually states dramatically that Police Colonel Somchai (or someone else) rushed to the scene of the accident. This time it appears the police casually went there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjaidee Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 "A Russian man, who police believe may have been drunk," Surely the first thing they do under these circumstances, assuming he doesn't require medical treatment, is breathalyse him.

The bible say " Thou shall not hate" but then again they should build a special resort on Mars for the Russian called The Red Sands Inn as previously mentioned here by another TV member....???Oh and do not forget to equip the place with it's own Mega Fodka Distillery so these that visit can drink themselves into into a permanent state of unconsciousness.

Do the police have any idea what policing is? You really think that the local plod has a breathalizer kit, I doubt the local police station has that sort of equipment. I don' know but I expect it would need a blood test analysis, but let's face it xx,000 baht 'fine' and mai pen rai. Why bother with all that proof of intoxication nonsense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 There's something about Fortuner's that scare the life out of me. I know one other poster shares that view. I suppose it's the feeling of invincibility they appear to provide with the dark windows etc... I'm gonna get done for this, I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdecas Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What, were the breathalizers supplied by a certain Merseyside ex-copper? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlog Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i would say some month at Bangkok Hilton!!! Why? Because he hit drunken a tree and hurt no one? And what's next? Hang children when they don't pay for a toffee? You are not more longer in a nanny state. Punishment in a good relation is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
