webfact Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 National police response to crime wave - more cameras for cops on bicycles and Segways Picture: Thai News Agency BANGKOK: -- A National Police Bureau spokesman has explained the policy of the "policeman of tomorrow" or the Police 4.0 project. One of the ways that crime will be dealt with is to equip patrols on push bikes with evidence gathering cameras. There will also be more helmet cams on motorcycle cops and those that get about on Sec ways, said TNA. Thaivisa understand they meant Segways, the two wheeled, self balancing electric vehicle. Songphon Watanachai announced the moves for the Region 6 Metropolitan police. He also said that to combat crime an additional 64 street CCTV cameras would be installed in and along a 1.2km section of Yaowarat Road in Chinatown. This will make the total coverage in that area 161 cameras. The new cameras are part of what the force calls "G-Eyes" in English though no one explained what the "G" stood for in the TNA story. TNA also said that the public could now report serious crime through an application that they said could be found at "police I lert you".

rkidlad Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Thailand 4.0. Oh, how they love their buzz words here. Campaigns, banners and buzzwords. How much money and time wasted? Will their cameras be on 24/7 or not when collecting tea money? Edited March 15, 2017 by rkidlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowboat Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 A crime wave after happiness has been brought back to the Thai people ? Tis unthinkable. Police work just does not fit the job description of an RTP officer, shakedowns, yes, but policing? No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 More cameras in police stations/offices etc, would possibly help reduce the crime wave. Catch the criminals in the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get Real Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Everything is so modern today. Police with cameras on Segways! Maybe that would have been perfect to grab the running naked woman before 1 km running a couple of days ago. However a wonder how many accidents it´s going to be on Segways when the concentrated policman get a phonecall and still driving full speed? On the other hand it will be hillariously funny video clips if posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I imagine lots of the screen shots will be of exterior concrete walls the bikes happen to be leaning against. "Hey, no one said we actually had to go out and patrol, did they?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 One Segway, one cop. One camera, one cop. Sounds oddly familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On pushbike? They don't usually suggest they have enough energy to pedal. And I don't see the latest 'innovations' changing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For which the cops will mount their bikes, Segways, and even Sec ways, track down the offending poster(s), and threaten them with defamation suits.

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Don't bother wasting your money!! You can spend as much as you want on cameras but the only images or video you will get is them inside their stations of police boxes. They only go out once a month on collection day. Not interested in law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flatfoot on the beat years ago did just fine. The policeman of tomorrow seems Dubai is experimenting with that. Anything has to be an improvement.
