When caught he will say sorry and offer the Russians a wai. If the Russian man has any balls he would kick him in the teeth while the hypocrite is kneeling in front of him,show the Thai public what we think of their stupid wai's. In many places in the world kidnapping alone would get him a life sentence,let's see how many months he gets here.

 

Agree with you but I'd bet on the Russian getting a more severe sentence for kicking the cop in the teeth than the cop would ever get for the kidnap & imprisonment of the Russians.

policeman ring leader will never be apprehended, gang will go to jail, tourists satisfied, policeman starts a new gang and the beat goes on and on, as long as the correct revenue split is adhered to on regular basis

The problem with many Police Departments worldwide, especially in developing and third world countries are the Police are grossly underpaid.

 

When they lose it all from lack of adequate cash flow, mounting bills, foreclosure threats, and the ability to save, they lose it.  Especially, if a family member not in the household is sick or injured and money is needed for further medical treatment or to pay mounting bills.

 

This problem will no doubt accelerate with a worldwide economic retreat.

Look on the positive side .

The Policemen got arrested for their crimes .

Actually, "4 members of the public" got arrested (the ones in the picture), one police officer (the "boss', gang leader) has run away. So, not a single policeman got arrested, ergo the positive side is not so positive, so far...

Police at the top of the food chain yet again.. just how corrupt is the force?

They seem to be at the top, middle & bottom of everything!!

With 32.59 million foreign guests visiting Thailand in 2016 (source wikipedia) I don't think the Thais are too worried about the foreign press, do you?

Crime really does pay when your in the Royal Thai Police.

Not in this case,....but I'm sure it did pay in many more previous cases...!!!

That's just for the photo everyone knows that ! 

Already quoted, but the 4 "perps/gang members/underlings" are members of the public - the cop in charge has done a runner!

Oops.... so sorry, but all the inactive desks are full at the moment... what will become of these fine orificers

Freudian slip? Or brilliant sarcasm with a slight spelling mistake! :-

 

"fine orificers" (orifices?)

 

e.g.

A body orifice is any opening in the body of an animal. e.g.
