Korat top brass play down leaked memo that said cops were abandoning use of radar guns and CCTV to stop speeding on Friendship Highway

KORAT: -- The head of the police in Nakorn Ratchasima has said that reports that his force were planning to abandon the use of CCTV and radar guns to trap speeding drivers are not correct.

 

A leaked memo found its way online but chief Suphakorn Khamsingnork said that was an internal memo and the actual original directive was not attached.

 

He said this has led to confusion.

 

In reality the measure is just a temporary one to conduct maintenance and adjustment of procedures.

 

Many different stations and authorities are involved in monitoring the Friendship Highway and the temporary shutdown will help the police coordinate their operations better, said the chief.

It's never what it appears to be. How does anyone understand how things work here?

[ChrisY1]

Speed guns means no tea money....electronic ticketing deprives the police bosses of cash.....whatever was the RTP thinking when these were introduced?

[bheard]

Well . . . Now you know that these things need maintenance. No point having radar guns and cctv units that don't work is there? Thailand is so good with maintenance after all.

[trogers]

And a thousand and one, a thousand and two...

 

Computation of speed manually.

Loads of excuses to avoid working

just love the excuses; it highlights the 'intelligence' of those in authority

The police are too busy collecting bribes so how do they have anymore free time to use the radar gun?
