hougourou Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Last week it was a Scot with 1.2 grams of the evil weed. This time almost 3 whole grams. Good to see the RTP are upping the game and going after the really big fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phycokiller Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) why do they say they searched him cos he looked nervous? they searched him because the dealer who sells weed for them decided there was more money to be made by ratting him in. Ive been offered the job myself. Edited September 21, 2015 by phycokiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toooa Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's a nice place to live, but the administration of this country couldn't be more of a joke if all Thai officials wore clown suits...

ChrisY1 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Back in Kuwait......even such a small quantity...he'd be in serious trouble...... probably not lose his head, but certainly time in the Hilton!!....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis7 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Kuwaiti...that makes sense. Arrest him and then negotiate and everybody wins, there is no shame for RTP. instead of really arresting the criminals they are engaged in arresting petty offenders.

Srikcir Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 With all the RTP shakedowns of foreigners, who wouldn't be nervous when RTP pass by? Legally, the RTP had no probable cause to search the Kuwaiti. Certainly standing in a public area outside a club is not suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
