Mad cop caught on tape - now he wants to get the Facebook poster!

 

Picture: Daily News

 

KRABI: -- A Krabi policeman who was caught on tape taking a kick at some rubbish said a car pulled out on him making him come off his bike.

 

But CCTV footage later obtained appeared to back up the view that the car driver was not in the wrong.

 

The policeman had simply come off his bike.

 

Now as the clip does the rounds of social media the policeman has threatened the driver's friend who posted the CCTV footage, reported Daily News.

 

The clip showed Siriporn Solaem, 22, in her white car, looking for a parking space. She had to cross the road to find a spot.

 

The policeman falls off his bike at low speed then gets up and kicks out at some trash, clearly very agitated.

 

Siriporn said that he demanded 2,000 baht for damage to his bike and injury to two children who were on the back.

 

She was not sure at the time if she was in the wrong.

 

But when a friend asked a shop for their CCTV footage she seemed to be vindicated.

 

Wen it was posted online and so many people commented the policeman called the friend through Facebook messenger to say he would take action against her.

 

Siriporn told Daily News Online she wants to let the matter rest.

As much as we already see on a daily basis, this is still just the beginning. 

[colinneil]

Just another crazy having a bad day.

[taichiplanet]

it was clearly his fault. Even the silver car pulls out long before he is on the scene. the woman in the white car was no where near it, her mistake was trying to help! The cop is a dick, 3 people on  a bike and seems the passengers weren't wearing helmets. He only gets angry because he realises what a dick he is and has lost face.

[tonray]

I don't know...she was blocking the road causing him to slow down unexpectedly and lose control.

 

 

1) He was likely going too fast and not paying attention

 

2) She likely did not see him coming in her blind spot and was also at fault by pulling out

So this self-important <deleted> just walks away from his kids who were on the bike, his precious ego far more important than their welfare. My sympathies to the kids for their misfortune (you know what I mean). 

[ezzra]

 

Yep... kill the messenger why don't ya......

[clockman]

Fragile egos!

[sweatalot]

everybody should have the duty to take movies about police showing bad behaviour.

This would help the police having a good reputation and doing a good job. (that's what they want, I guess?)

In their job they have to be an example of righteousness and kind behaviour.

If they fail they need to be named and shamed so police could get rid of those who are not qualified.

They should not be allowed to sue defamation.

[Chang_paarp]

What intrigues me is....  What is the cop doing with 2 people on the back of his (official?) bike whilst on duty?

 

Wonder if he is going to try to use the helmet he threw on the ground for official use again?

[TVGerry]

Couldn't the fella post the video in the correct direction?

[stubuzz]

You can legally film government officials.

correct, they are accountable to the public, video footage will either prove he did nothing wrong or ............... otherwise, it is time the top brass went public to encourage the public to expose wrong doing just like they are now offering rewards for the public to report criminal activity and traffic violations.

 

It is time the police realised they are accountable to the public for their actions 

[PoorSucker]

And..... the video is gone.

Save copies before they disappear....

Thai Car driver and Thai Bike rider = Dumb and Dumber !

[helloagain]

You just cant make it up with scams in this country. If cctv proves otherwise then the cop loose his job and pension. They are not above the law but think they are.

Defamation - I've learnt a whole new meaning to that word, which appears to have made an appearance in Thailand by popular demand during the recent past.  I always thought if somebody posted a video that was a true account of any misdemeanour, it can't be defamation.  But, it seems that in Thailand, showing somebody acting out of character like an adult behaving like a 2 year old is wrong.

 

This "saving face" has gone too far.  If a person didn't act like that, there wouldn't be any videos to post.  Admitting you were in the wrong is a good quality in most people's eyes.  Just accept the ridicule and get on with whatever you were doing.  Life's too short!

YEP , there is is again  , QUALITY OFFICERS OF THE LAW..... "yikes"  give me a break .....bada bada bing 

[timewilltell]

Thais in a bit of a dilemma here. Defamation law needed by politicians and the corrupt to avoid exposure but now being used by people from the low end of society as well. What to do? Suffer the nonsense exposed every day or revise the law and weaken the trump cards of the rich and powerful? Ah - never mind the stupidity exposed, just ignore the problem and keep the laws for the use of those they were originally intended

Two more morons who shouldn't have driving licences ( or a police badge )

Two children on the back? He would have to be taking the metaphorical pee pee claiming for damage to compensate for his own gross stupidity, never mind his own law breaking.

You're just realising that Thailand  has its own interpretation of defamation, whether libel or slander?

'If they fail they need to be named and shamed so police could get rid of those who are not qualified.' Not sure even the RTP could operate that short of manpower.

No!  I'm just realising that people are using this defamation crap like they are buying candy from a corner shop.  The Hi-Sos have been into this game for quite a time, but now the small-fry are catching-on that there's money to be made by acting like a tosser in public.

 

There's no end to money-making schemes in Thailand.  I just hope the judges will see the defendants for what they really are and throw all the cases out of court.

[diehard60]

i thought there was a law that says only two people on a motorcycle? was the cop wearing a helmet? my guess no he was not.

[Get Real]

See! now theybehave according to thier ordinary fuctions. Just means that this is going to be another unsolced idiotic case. Really sad that he didn´t use his eyes, when driving on the road.
