Those did not pass the brown envelope!

Not sent for trial? They can probably resit the test next month anyway.

Is cheating in an exam a criminal offence?

I think it would be Fraud given it was entry to a position that's supposed to enforce the law...

 

It seems that the corrupt process of entry to the highly lucrative position of police officer is at epidemic levels, and these are just some unfortunates that are going to take the fall so that the high-ups can declare 'case closed' and move on, changing nothing. These 7 will probably mysteriously move and surface in some other jurisdiction anyway. Rotten to the core. 

7? out of how many?that cant be the final number surely.

Ah come on guys what is a little cheating I saw a policeman on a motorbike go straight through a red light the other day So when he did that the other motorbikes followed They prob think what is good for the goose is good for the gander lol Did that police man pass his exams Prob majored in what colour is red and what do you do when you see a red light Drive right through it You pass

7? out of how many?that cant be the final number surely.

The results at the Provincial Police Region 1 and 7 were announced Friday, while the MPB’s results will be out on January 30."

More to come on Jan 30, my guess would be another random figure to appease the nation.

And stop calling me Shirley !

 Not sure, so I Googled it and came up with:

 

 ...............The elements of fraud as a crime similarly vary. The requisite elements of perhaps most general form of criminal fraud, theft by false pretense, are the intentional deception of a victim by false representation.................

I think that cheating in an exam is definitely not the criminal offence of fraud.

So, if that was a definition from Thai law, cheating wasn't a fraud committed by some entrants.

Sorry Shirley

Cheating is the prime requisite for Thai police.  All 7 scapegoats will be eligible to try again next time round with a fatter envelope.
