amerasianex Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Why cant business help these police with some food. The retail price of some rice and Gop is very inexpensive for them. And police dont get paid enough. They barely survive. Very kineow. But when they have a problem the first friend they call is a policeman....

That would be great if it were voluntary instead of upon demand, which is extortion and usually the preserve of criminals, not up holders of the law.

Kerryd Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 While it's good they are making an example of this cop I really got to wonder about the "He has to take at least 45 days off from work to heal his nose," bit. 45 days off for a broken nose ? It normally takes 6 weeks to mend a broken bone ! Our mechanic was dicking around on his motorbike 2 weeks ago and took a nasty tumble. Big scrapes on his arms, legs and face. 2 days later back at work fixing motorcycles. I figured he should have been off (and being bandaged and cared for) for a week at least but I guess he wasn't going to get paid if he did so back to work it was). I think someone is angling for a payoff if they are claiming 45 days to heal a broken nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominique355 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Would seem that Prayuts campaign to stamp out corruption is beginning to work. Unfortunately the new wind has not yet reached all policemen and police stations. Too many still behave is if they are above the law and the rest of us are Untermenschen. It's time to name and shame and fire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the traffic cop who lives in a 10 Mm Baht house and drives a new BMW next to me. Maybe the official salary is not very high but they make enough on the sideline. A good police friend of my told me once, A honest cop never will be rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah it was 1,400 baht over 2 days, not some 30 baht plate of rice with a ladle of something on top. And I'm sure a Lt. Col in the police is paid more than enough to cover his food bills.

Excuse me , but this was no lowly constable usually riding around on a motorbike. Oh no, this was a Lieutenant Colonel, no less. I am sure he gets a good salary plus all his other under the table perks. PG Tips etc He ran up a tab of B1400 and then beat the restaurant cashier up for reporting him for not paying his bill. What part of this picture do you not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldiablo Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Yeah. We all know who you are. You're a corrupt cop just like the majority of your kind. Hopefully he has truly been fired. These cops in Thailand think they are so special, when in fact they are the scum of the country. I am curious as to how you figure that this person would not have reported this criminal activity under the previous government John. Your comment is laughable at the very least.

I think someone is angling for a payoff if they are claiming 45 days to heal a broken nose. You say a broken nose takes 6 weeks to heal, the victim is taking 45 days off work. 6x7=42 is the extra 3 days really an angle for a payoff, doctor?

I know you're only trolling but the notion of action without reprimand by this pig highlights a big issue with Thai society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
