The RTP has done that every well over the years all by itself. The police should accept the public perception about them and make a concerted effort over the next decade to change this perception ... which is unlikely to happen, of course, so the police should not get upset by public perception. I agree but the police accepting the perception but a decade is not enough. Unfortunately there is a hierarchy system here and the BIB are well aware of that. The BIB also are a bit smarter than you give the credit for. They know the people are there to donate but you just cannot ask for to much all at once thus you have selective policing. Its similar to donating blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) 5 hours ago, Ahab said: The police do not make up the law (usually) and it is unfair to criticize them for having to enforcing a law that they did not create. That being said, if the purpose of this law is to reduce road deaths it will be ineffective because the vast majority of road deaths in Thailand involve motorcycles or passengers on motorcycles. How often to you read or hear about pickup bed passengers being killed in an accident? Really? Their (Police) job IS to enforce the law whether they like it or not!

wvavin Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This thing shouldn't happen if the police are of high integrity. Correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 What concerns to me is that they also want those who 'liked' post. So now you have say anything but by just pressing a button one is regarded as a 'follower'. This is very similar to what happened the other day with foreigners apparently charged with lese majeste crimes where Thai authorities maintained that by following (on the net) such people might break the computer law and could be charged and jailed. In other words this could be seen as a further squeezing of rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those police inquiries into the likers should keep the udon police chief bogged down in mind numbing report wriring until he retires. Thats the one flaw with prosecting likes on facebook. If a few hundred thousand click like the legal system would just collapse if the police follow through. An if they dont well their threats are just hot air.

Even if he could prove his allegations Thai defamation law is so protective of the privileged that the police would only have to obtain a court ruling that their 'reputation' had been damaged.

pentap Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's understandable, an individual would feel upset at information they feel is incorrect, but what is the general consensus, particularly on higher profile civil servants, such as the Police, army plus politicians?Is it more a case of individuals simply highlighting what most of the nation considers? I'm not suggesting that the information be true. But considering the social climate, I can't help but think to myself, for a person to place such a posting, on widely viewed social media site, scrutinised by the authorities, could the post actually hold true?Reminds of the old folk tale about the Shepard boy crying wolf.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 OK accepted.. It was a naughty statement about you Sir. But get out there, do your job properly & maybe get some respect back for a Police Force that is seen as corrupt, lazy & will not investigate anything unless paid to do so (or not to do so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
