rooster59 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Traffic cop slaps motorist - caught on tape Image: MGR Online BANGKOK: A traffic cop hit a motorcycle rider in the face - not realizing that the altercation was caught on a mobile phone.Now the clip is doing the rounds of social media after being posted on the Paung ole Facebook page.The video - purported to be taken at the entrance of a Samut Prakarn school Saturday - shows a traffic policeman having an argument with a motorcyclist. Then he slaps the rider and brings out a mobile phone of his own to start filming.The rider says facetiously: "Did you take a video when you slapped me?"But the whole scene was actually being filmed by a member of the public in a car behind the cop who sees and records it all.

Laughing Gravy Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 In another thread someone is asking are the police impressing people here in Thailand? The answer is simply no. Just look at this which is not out of the ordinary if you have lived here long enough. Good luck with suing the policeman. He will be lucky if he is allowed to live in his house/condo, once this is known to have gone viral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKASA Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 OMG! did you see that - he slipped him right in the helmet. The cop is standing in front of the bike - you can see he wants him to stop and turn it off and the guy tries to drive forward and hits the cop - come on, I give the cop a brake on this one or else charge the driver with assault on the officer - lets let him decide - I bet the helmet slap was just not that big of a deal now. Gee - If I was the cop I would charge him with second degree assault with a vehicle, failure to stop, interference with an officer etc etc etc I would get him at least 2 years, lose of license and probation - or maybe he will settle for the helmet tap to get his attention. Yea maybe that is a good idea - I bet if you take that video to a lawyer and want to sue the lawyer will advise you get all copies you can and burn them.

KhunBENQ Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Agree with #5. Much noise about another "wise guy" who thinks he can ignore the cop and do a runner. What would happen to a black bike rider in the US trying to escape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Lucky chap, had this happened in the USA, cop would have shot him. I am not a supporter of the Thai police, due to things that have happened to me in the past. Look closely at the video, bike rider was trying to leg it. Bike rider in the wrong, the cop was in the wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously...enough with the Black propaganda...What do you think the police would do to a White runner? the same things they do to a Black runner...blacks just get more attention because they have "leaders" who parade before the media...

JulesMad Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Some motorists need a good slapping. Well done ! Hmmm..... I would even say more than a few Just the other day, I saw a police officer ordering a Thai man to get out of the car and to give him 10 (or more?) push ups.

KenKadz Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 What I saw was the cop slap a helmet. Because the rider took the helmet off after the slap took place and he dismounting the bike.

But he landed a heavy punch in the stomach. The young felt to his knee. And then the cop realized i was there and i witnessed the whole accident. Then it was gold comedy: the cop rushed to help the young who was moaning in pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
