Use of their mobile phones to access a police data base OH a great plan for some hacker to come along and steal the data

 

Abuse just waiting to happen a Common cell phone This is a terrible idea

The Malays and Indonesians have been using long-handled fork-headed sticks to subdue and pin down 'amok' madmen for literally centuries. I guess the concept has finally made it across Thailand's southern border.

My last post on Thaivisa! 

I found Thaivisa useful during the red and yellow shirt battles, I found it useful to gain information about the B2, It has gone downhill immensely with posters that have a bitter taste in their mouths about Thailand in general. Not much reason to use it anymore, far better to look for the positive side of living here.

Good luck to all you people that enjoy criticizing the place for everything I'm sure it makes you happier up on your pedestals.

Feel free to knock me as I won't be reading any replies.

Bye

BANGKOK:-- Commissioner Sanit Mahthavorn proudly unveiled the latest program to bring more expert policing to Thailand - he presented the "Smart Police" project on Friday.  

  Officers will also be trained how to use mobile phones to access the National Police database.    These familiar hand held devices will be used to check in the field on warrants for suspects, criminal histories and details to do with motoring offences such as licenses and other information about drivers.   No comment was made in the tnamcot report about the budget for the Smart Police initiative.   Source: Thai News Agency     -- [emoji767] Copyright Thai Visa News 2016-09-10

That will go well given the concept of password security that is so well observed.

How long till someone works out how to fix warrants?

For accessing their database by mobile phones they will use the following login details:

It possibly could be, if the riches weren't concentrated in the hands of the elite, or squandered trying desperately to uphold the utterly toxic national culture.

They're called crooks,  like the villains they are meant to subdue.

So from now on all those oh so smart police officers are going to carry long PVC poles with loops around with them? How about a halberd and an oil lamp?

They'll be getting stone tablets and chisels for making notes next.

I hope the snake is ok.

One sincerely trusts that Commissioner Sanit Mahthavorn will engaged an external organisation to evaluate the success or otherwise of this latest initiative.

[jvs]

Much better to be subdued by Thai police then say for instance by the US police.

In the latter case you would probably be dead!

You cannot make this stuff up. This would have been a fitting subject for one of George Carlin's acts, if only that great comedic master were still alive today. This is how you could actually make the police here smarter:

 

The federal government finally mans up, and appropriates the necessary budget to reform, and equip, and train the entire department, from the ground up. This would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 trillion baht to being with. Yes, you heard that right. About 60 billion dollars would probably be required in the first year. This would go towards raising the salary levels, to the point where a policeman could support his family, without having to resort to the all too familiar M.O. of accepting cash in exchange for a service provided. Salaries would have to be doubled, at a minimum. There are an estimated 230,000 police officers nationwide. That alone, would be an increased expense of 33 billion baht annually, using an average salary of 12,000 per month. And I do not think the 230,000 figure includes the highway patrol. This reform would also require:

 

1. New vehicles, and motorbikes, up to an international standard. An addition of 1,000 cars and trucks for the national police, so that there would be more presence on the nation's highways, not just AFTER an accident occurs.

2. Proper training of detectives, and forensic experts. This would probably require the use of competent foreign nationals, like Scotland Yard or the FBI, for training, and perhaps sending some of the experts overseas for more effective training. 

3. The building of forensic labs, up to international standards, employing tens, or perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars worth of top grade scientific, DNA testing, and other forensic equipment. 

4. The training of the police up to a far higher standard. New training institutes would have to be established, to train new recruits to do real police work, and investigations. Guessing would have to be eliminated, as is common practice now.

5. A huge network of foreign trained police dogs would have to come from the newly formed canine institute, where new dogs would be trained, as well as the officers required to handle them on canine duty.

6. Advanced computer systems and analysts would have to be installed and trained, to operate a state of the art central database. 

7. The quid pro quo, that allows the police to behave in any manner they like, when it comes to revenue collection, and fortune building would have to be eliminated, in exchange for the above.

8. The current system of total asylum for officers found collecting fortunes would be abolished. The government would begin to pursue crooked policemen, and begin to arrest them, and make sure they were convicted, and send to prison for many years, instead of transferring them at full salary, as is done today. 

 

I could go on, and on, all day long. But, this would be a good place to start. And I think my budget estimate is conservative considering the massive work that has to be done. Essentially, the RTP has to be rebuilt from the ground up. Will that ever happen? That is anybody's guess.
