tomacht8 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 8 Years in Jail for Criticizing Thai Cops That's a bit harsh over the top. Perhaps one could also send the culprits to inactive posts. "For Peerasuth, his alleged crime was writing on Facebook that he encountered a bloodied woman on the night of Nov. 9 who said she had been mugged and stabbed. "Peerasuth said he called officers at Krabi Police Station about the incident, but no one picked up the phone, so he took the woman to the hospital on his own. Even after the woman was admitted at the hospital, no officer showed up to assist her, he wrote." The accused here could indeed conter sue against for failure to render assistance. "The video went beyond complaining about the officer, and in it Sukanya accused him of planting drug on innocent motorists, Sompong said." That is nasty. Maybe she has witnesses. That would turn the case completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 We better be careful on here too,if they ever get to read some of what is said about them on here,there could be a few arrests, they are very sensitive,8 years is more than you would get for murder !. regards Worgeordie I love the Thai police and I know they do an excelent job! Especially the brave officers who work in the gold shops all day.. I feel very safe every time I go in to buy more gold.

elgordo38 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well an 8 year sentence isn't a moral lessons is it, it's a legal one. Duh Quote Some people do not just understand our work? unquote Yes I am one of them. Tell em to come to our condo I will put him to work chasing down hot rod bikers and it will serve a dual purpose. It will teach him what real work is and I will come to appreciate what the police do. 8 years in jail and its not vindictive yeah sure. It will scare the bejesus out of all young Thai's.

englishoak Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 This is how you terrorise a population.

EyesWideOpen Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Holy crap !!! I am going to jail for sure, as I have spent years having a field day regarding my opinion of the gang of corrupt buffoons known as the " Royal" Thai Police...... Oh wait, I have already left Thailand so I should be safe. Unless they extradite me... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 " We are not being vengeful. We are just doing our duty. " What a disgraceful statement.

Whats understandable about blaming BIB for not responding when they haven't been informed? BTW AFAIK 8 years is the MAX penalty. Would that apply here?

Rocceao Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I have delt with Col. Sompong Thip-aphakul over serious complant my wife made about one of my trouble making niegbours, that caused my pregnant wife to have a mis carrriage. Nothing was done, no action was taken and it was swept under the carpet. I also reported one of my niegbours for selling drugs to the local kids, guess what, Nothing was done, no action was taken and it was swept under the carpet. Thankyou Col. Sompong Thip-aphakul and the Krabi Police for doing an outstanding job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwikeith Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 This country seems to be getting worse in regard to freedom of speech. First it is do not criticize or comment on the Ratchapakdi Park fiasco (despite it being so obvious that corruption was involved), do not comment on politics or present political opinions even if you are a university lecturer teaching political science, and now do not criticize the police. Next it will be "Do not criticize the ban on criticism." Bloody hell, when are they going to introduce thought police to this new Orwellian state. TV might be next, sedition the crime, close all bars, close all media, don't talk to your neighbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
