GoPros at THB1500 each? Price seems wrong.

[HenryPattaya]

This can work two ways the public can also use them and record the police

Going to the pros in Pattaya usually costs about 1500 THB.

The none WiFi version, Chinese Copy sells for under £30 on Ebay (shipped from China)

Rather hypercritical going round busting small traders for selling counterfeit goods.

I'm trying to understand how these 1500 baht GoPro's can be of benefit to the Thai Police.

Will we hear, as we hear, with CCTV, "not working" when the all important criminal evidence is not captured ?

There are much better and smaller camera's available for a less money.

Only not waterproof , but i never see a cop riding around when its raining anyway.

8 hour recordings of a rotating ceiling fan, very beneficial.

The 30.000 Baht figure was probably not for all 20 camera, but per piece.

Everyone has to make a living you know.

Great idea... dont forget to turn it off when you take a bribe...

Add why would it not be captured ? Are you suggesting that the police are corrupt and not interested in solving crimes ?

[sead]

I don't understand. Didn't police fine people with gopros on helmet? ?
