Please update yourself what the powers of Martial Law include and put Section 44 on top of that - may give you some idea - they can basically do ANYTHING they like!!

They cant even stop kids racing their bikes. Look at the army on show. Kids who would rather be racing their bikes.

balo Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Means nothing , just show them your passport in the door with the valid visa, lets hope they scare off some of the overstayers. If they could visit all the condo buildings here , they would get rid of some nasty people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Forget about civil rights here. There aren't any. I wonder what reaction would be if you said "Come on in (ask for one to do the search). Hope you don't mind if I video the search just for the record's sake.....". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahibji Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 over stayers can not be up to any good as genuine visitors will obtain legal visa in case they wish to extend their stay. over stayers are pests who will undermine the social frame work with undesirable activities. weed them out. that is the right approach.

KittenKong Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I find it hard to imagine that anyone could raid Nirun and not find something illegal in at least 50% of the units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have and never will be a user, other than chocolate and Ladies, natural born Ladies that is ! I am Dutch used my fair share of substances and most substance users don't cause any trouble. The point was however not about what is the worse crime, but a search of the house without a warrant v.s checking your passport at the door.

mcfish Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Why Nirun? Why not Royal Cliff? Its where the low class alcoholic farang live . I think its like 3000 baht a month and a lot of TV regular posters live there, its just a horrible existence and thats where you gonna find desperate overstayers....Royal cliff? you jest surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bander Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Raiding condo blocks, How nice, Makes me think, there be a grass around there. Another crackdown on expats, another loss of face to Pattaya BIB's. What's next? They must have a master plan in the sleeve to harass foreign condo owners.

Same with your car Yes. All sorts of things can happen. But that kind of always has been the case in Thailand. I fear it may be on the uprise. Times are tough. People are getting squeezed for money. Farangs are bigger and bigger targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Thai Law, police have no right to come into your home unless they have a warrant or you let them in.Things might be different under current martial law though. Passports can be checked at the door. Could you please quote the code, chapter, section, and clause number for this so called Thai law you refer to. Thanks in advance.

Under Thai Law, police have no right to come into your home unless they have a warrant or you let them in.Things might be different under current martial law though. Passports can be checked at the door. There really is no "law". Once the military suspended the constitution, any civil court or judge is so not independent. They have no basis to rule on. They are being very closely monitored by the military. And who knows what sort of military courts are out there. I have read articles about some military courts, but have little idea how they are formed, staffed, rulings enforced, what sort of proceedings are involved etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
