ezzra Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) If the boys from Thonglor police station would have a say in it, this will never be prosecuted at all..... just do the Red bull boy way of justice......

Basil B Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Only 2 ??? As the RTP has over 200,000 officers I suspect the real number of officers on the take to be a 6 digit number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Only 2 cops, wow surely that is only the tip of the iceberg. Those higher up the chain are not happy about being left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbrock Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Only 2 ??? As the RTP has over 200,000 officers I suspect the real number of officers on the take to be a 6 digit number. I think a more shocking headline would read "2 cops not accused of embezzling traffic fines" - I mean, that would be news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Me think it would be a lot harder to find 2 BiBs which are not 'on the take'...! Don't know of any single occasion where some kind of 'transaction' was not offered at a lower price than the, justified, ...or not, 'fine' requested (and 'fast service' too). Remember being stopped and fined for 'speeding' (on the left lane, between trucks and busses, but the only Farang around...), where my Thai wife 'negociated' it down to 300B-straight-in-the-pocket, with as premium a little piece of coloured paper to show when stopped again not to have to pay several times on the same day...

oldsailor35 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I believe that the word embezzeling means "failing to share" in Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 as long as crooked police only "are being transferred to an inactive post" (of course enjoying full salary) in such cases, this will never stop. this and the sick bail system (that benefits the rich and VIPs) is what is poisoning the Thai society most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorri Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I believe that the word embezzeling means "failing to share" in Thai I think the correct term is extortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winniedapu Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) 2? I'd be more impressed if it was 2,000, but 2? Another sop to what they evidently believe is a very stupid public. Besides, they left the free haircuts out of the photograph. Winnie Edited July 19, 2016 by Winniedapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 They obviously missed the employment orientation lecture informing them they would only be entitled to a share of traffic fines not the whole amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebyrd Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Only 2?! 2,000 would be a better figure to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens54 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 NO WAY ! I can't believe for one moment that our cops would be involved in such scurrilous activities. Excuse me while I go take my tongue out of my cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
