PHUKET: -- A suspected dealer was busted with drugs worth about half a million baht by undercover police officers in Phuket Town on Sunday.

A tip from another dealer, who had surrendered himself on Saturday, led Phuket City Police officials to the post office behind Provincial Hall. 

“The dealer told us that a man named Korapat Thipasak, 33, would come to claim a parcel at that location,” said Lt Col Ritthichai Chumchuay of Phuket City Police.

The drug bust yielded 2,020 ya bah (methamphetamine) pills, 20 pills of ecstasy, drug paraphernalia and a mobile phone.

In the western half of the world, it is in many ways, the fastest option to choose, to end not only your own life for ratting someone out, but the consequences have and can wipe out an entire family and associates whether or not they had knowledge.

The articles I read on TV that been copied and pasted from other sources are the more sensational (or not) acts of crime that they believe  keep the followers of this website coming. (Which I will sadly add........their method works.)

My point being, how is it that they (Newspapers) can post blatantly  the original information stemmed from an informant? Where I'm from, information received from informants is never told to the media due to triggering more murders and information from where the info came from is credited to some story about police work.

 

Is it a culture thing? (If you get arrested rat out anything you may believe will earn you a get out of jail card)

 

Dunno know about the rest of you's, but this country appears to be infested with 2 legged ratters.

 

I suppose the idea, taking revenge on a rat hasn't made it this far yet.

 

Sort of explains why they are so blase to actually investigate a non/serious offence...they don't know how to.

After you have cheated to gain entrance to the police school, shows what your attitude is right from the start.
