leeneeds Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 A policeman doing his job, anyone who has their car clamped would do the same, if they could, it is about removing the hassle at the time, 9 times out of ten the money would be accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futsukayoi Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Hopefully he will be jailed for attempting to bribe a cop. Unfortunately that would only happen if the government was actually serious about tackling corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Just who he had to grease to make his way to become a celeb I wonder? the Thai entertainment business is a tough one to get in as there are latterly many thousand who wishes to bathe in the limelight, so again, who benefited from allowing this jerk to be a " soap opera star" ?.....

terminatorchiangmai Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 wasn't there a 10.000 baht fine for bribing a police officer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well, almot two years ago the police made a big deal (another crackdown) on how they would prosecute people attempting to bride traffic police. Was even offering monetary awards to the BIB for arresting anyone attempting to bribe them to get out of a traffic infraction. But we all know that was just short term talk (blah...blah...blah) which quickly fell by the roadside. See this Oct 14 ThaiVisa thread titled, Bribing Thai Traffic Cops Can Get You in Trouble, on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So in the true spirit of hiso 'celebrity' born-to -rule mentality this drop kick parked his car illegally, inconveniencing many others , then tried to bribe his way out of a penalty but still presumes to be a moral crusader against corruption. Sleazy creep and a rat with a gold tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I keep scratching my head and asking myself "What the H is a celebrity?? Oh yeah someone jumping up and down on TV trying to make us laugh and distract us for a few moments from all the problems in the world. A seeker of fame and fortune.

Basil B Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If the cop was really doing his job the cop should have arrested him for attempted bribery, the publicity would have been invaluable in the fight against corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 why not have the option to pay the fine on the spot and get a receipt for it? For many of the "High So's" the fine would be peanuts, putting them at some inconvenience is part of the punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
