He refused  elaborate !

Another photo OP for The Police Family Photo Album!

 

HQ doesn't go out of the blue to buy bikes for just one police satiation,

Somebody is going to get a lucrative concessions of some sort for

'donating ' or facilitating the buy of those bikes....

 

What a pocket filling joke this is Oh to be the boss of this lot and retire early with pockets over flowing with cash

With all the money they are making from DUI lately they can afford Harleys!

Value for money???

Can they explain this?

 

the famous over inflated thai male ego ,where no dead goes unnoticed and every accomplishment without a photo opp....thai males LOUD AND PROUD...

I have to say that they inspired me on many occasions. wasn't faith, though

I remember when I got my first brand new company CAR in UK. It was just another day at the office. Nothing to make a fuss about.

 

But here..........

Have no doubts. Agents from the Economic Crimes Division of the DSI: TVF, all graduates of the famed TVF Poster Colorectal Academy, are on the case, clearly.

The best way to think of it is as a small town newspaper in a small town. Every event trivial to the outside world and sophsticates (like all TVF members) is of interest to the local population. Gossip, a catch of a big fish, a large turtle sighting, a traffic accident--it all gets printed in the local rag. Yes, you'd see a pic of the local cop w/ his new cruiser in there.

I wonder how many Lt Gens, Lt Cols, and Maj Gens are among that lot. Oh wait, they will probably get BMWs.

What about all the "Effeminate" brigade and their gold necklaces, the police are never there to protect them when all the snatches are in progress.

If they were out of uniform and on duty after dark, and actually working, they would be too busy to bother about showing off their new motorbikes.

Probably but why would they want a clunker like a Harley?

These are not new. Introduced quite a while ago.

To me an amateurish solution.

They should get informed about body-cams fixed at the uniform/shoulder.

 

Generally I like the idea of uniform vehicles for the police, especially in a tourist town with many foreigners.

It always puzzled me to see cops riding on girlie scooters (Fino or the like).

 

But where are baton holder, siren and red flash light

Is that a baton holder or are you just pleased to see me?

Okay, I am confused again!

 

"Pattaya police chief says new bikes from HQ are a just reward for his upstanding "value for money" men."

 

Did HQ give these bikes to Pattaya Police because their ticketing practices (graft) generates more money than for HQ coffers?

I thought the were rotating flashing lights but what use would they be?

Well, considering the money being creamed off daily at the Khao Noi and Khao Talo crossing of the railway by-pass I would have expected a fleet of 37 Honda Goldwings or some real boys stuff like Harley-Davidsons, while the boss should get a new Mercedes 600 

Great Photo Now good officers get on your bikes and go enforce the traffic rules Ha ha Bikes will be ridden back to the police stations so they can continue there card games. All for show no substance Just another kickback for the boss

A nice 'Police Special' perhaps......

 

If they would do this everywhere cops on bikes and enforce the traffic law thailand would be changed forever and no longer the worlds most dangerouse place to drive a bike.

So maybe this is a good thing reguardless if all cops inn thailand are as deserving as these high value for money boys.

So TVF is a local rag.....interesting POV.

 

And my car NEVER got into the local rag of my small town.

Note I didn't say "is." I said best way to think about it. TVF often merely reports what's in the local rag.

 

Works.

Too modest. Often the "newsworthy" must take responsibility for alerting the rag.
