mikosan Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I agree with you. Want to take a wild guess how many foreign riff-raff are here ? Where they are likely located in Thailand? And where the majority come from. And about time too. Another small step forward in getting rid of the foreign riff-raff that has invaded Thailand. I could take a guess, but I think, overall, the distribution is fairly evenly spread among the westernised countries. Let's work together to get rid of all of them!

coulson Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) So...every time I had my passport over to them....what exactly does an immigration officer see on his screen when he lays it face down on a glass box thing on his desk ? Criminal record ? wanted by interpol, wanted for not paying fines, on the run, terrorist ....Nope......Which might go a long way to explain why this country is full of brigands, bandits, rogues, ne'er-do-wells and all sorts of common riff raff. I have what is called a Bio-metric passport. I went on WiKi to find out what this is and basically all it does on my passport is a face recognition of the photo I have in my passport. That is why they ask you to look at the camera. It can be used for finger prints ( I have never given mine knowingly ?) and I guess DNA ? again I have never given knowingly to the UK passport office. So what is the point ? My face matches the photo, if it was a fake passport the first thing they do is try and make sure that bit is correct - No ? How long would it take for a Thai computer to trawl through the entire 47 million "known" passports... you could be standing in line for a long time ! If ever there was a chance for curtailing the movements of "bad guys" then surely the passport would be the thing. And that would be at the check-in counter for the flight, or the departing countries immigration. Surely it should Not be at the 3rd check at the country they are going to... But no, the passport system fails miserably, they still get through. The data is of no use unless the system wants support it and for what cause.I get my eyes scanned every time I go back to the middle east. Fingerprint on id card, give them piss and blood every year too just for the books. Plenty of *wanteds* floating around this neck of the world (a notable thai being one) and not one $ h1t is given about it. Interpol? I'd say their servers are pretty loaded at present and not too bothered about your parking tickets.

Petchou Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 How many TV active members are in interpol database? I am really curiousNot me, I can assure you!. I trust you, and I am not too 20000%. But I am sure some here are.

sead Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Well its a start. How about tapping into some other systems with criminal records now when you already at it... Edited December 15, 2015 by sead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Immigration is so sleazy they deliberately made a 90 reporting online system that offers no receipt, that way they can keep roping forgetful people for 2000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taony Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The failure of the Thai immigration system to connect with the Interpol database has allowed numerous foreigners to sneak into the country undetected.The failure is all Interpol's for not delivering 47 million x 2 copies to the immigration dept. Don't forget the signatures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
