fxe1200 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 "..... claiming it was leaning and could collapse." In the first place it is written using the subjunctive. Any building can collapse, depending on what you do with it. Furthermore, any building leans, depending on the location from where you look at it.

scotchbroth100 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If the cop wants to arrest the guy who posted the photo and claimed that it could collapse for causing undue alarm then why not send out arrest warrants for all those that post videos etc of bad drivers, violence etc as those surely cause alarm or is it ok to post those because that is what the true nature of Thailand is now and no one should be needlessly panicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing quite like the RTP for enforcing a law of their own interpretation. Perhaps they should first check the building before huffing and puffing about issuing an arrest warrant over publication of a picture and an observation. Of course, it's quite possible that Thai Beverage has an interest in the building and Sanit needs to earn his keep - assuming he has yet to resign.

Mad mick Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 17 hours ago, webfact said: "Leaning Tower of Bangkok" claim - poster faces five years jail! Picture: Daily News The Bangkok chief of police has demanded the arrest of an individual who posted a picture of a building under construction in the city claiming it was leaning and could collapse. Sanit Mahathavorn has ordered Lumpini cops to get the poster for contravening the country's strict computer laws. Sanit said that the poster has scared the public without just cause. He or she could face five years in jail and or a fine of 100,000 for the post. The building in question is under construction in Ploenjit, central Bangkok. Daily News reported that police know the identity of the person responsible and an arrest appeared imminent. Source: Daily News -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-08-16 leaning tower of bangkok , that post got you back on tourism map , not a fine , a medal for great free world wide advertisement ? ever heard of the leaning tower of pisa , jaunta don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 18 hours ago, webfact said: the poster has scared the public without just cause. Whose "just cause?" Is it only defined by the police or by anyone in the government? The police didn't know whether there was just cause until they used their authority to investigate building safety. Perhaps the police failed their duty to adequately publicize their findings so that the public will understand there is no safety danger with the building design. As a further note, the poster predicted the building could collapse. That is a conditional tense that speculates about what could happen after the building is completed! The building is still under construction so it would seem premature to say that such speculation is false. But as we've seen, the Prayut regime holds illegal any comment that has the potential for damage to the nation's reputation. So speculation becomes a victim of suppression of freedom of speech. And the police are more than willing to suppress such a constitutional right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
