Murka Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi Guys, I drove car in Pattaya on the night and Police catch me. I drank some whiskey befere I rode car to get home. Breath tester showed that I am over limit 10... The police man kept my ,, Thai driving licence card ,, and told me I have to go to jail . I told him that I can pay him some money. He want 10 000 I said “ok” I told him I don’t have enough cash with me I need to go ATM. After I sat in car I decided leave police point without pay anything but he still keep my Thai driving licence . What can happened ?? What does it mean for me ? I did not sign anything he have only my DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxforddon Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 So now you don't have a drivers' licence so at every police stop you will get fined or hassled. And it is very possible that in the process of getting a new one, you might have to get a police report showing you "lost" your last one. In that process you may break another law by not telling the truth about how it was "lost". Also, a record might be placed against your vehicle when you wish to renew tax. As others have said, you may get a visit at your house to explain breaking yet another law - eg. driving away from the scene after being stopped.

OneMoreFarang Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I would go to the police station and find that police officer. And make sure you have the cash with you. Maybe tell him you were very tired or something like that and this is why you didn't come back. You both will know that you lied but you both want this problem to go away so just do what you promised and everything will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 IMHO If that police officer can explain away a reason why he told you to wait, and you drove off, he is going to report you, now two counts of DUI, the first when he stopped you the second when you drove away, I hate corrupt police officers but not as much as drunk drivers, hope you did not post here expecting sympathy from everyone...

Or just take a van from Pattaya to the Cambo border. See what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are convicted of a serious criminal offence, you may be deported and be blacklisted for a period, such as ten years. I do not think your offences would warrant that. There is a good chance the police officer has just thrown your licence in a drawer with many others and nothing will ever be processed in the legal system.

soalbundy Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 You are trying to beat a well oiled system. Go back to the police station with the 10k, explain to the highway robber that your account didn't have enough funds in it and you had to wait for some money to come from your country before you could pay him. It won't go away, save yourself the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually is a good chance he is now in their system for what he did. The cop is not going to admit the bribe ( if that even happened) and running from the cops from a criminal offence is serious. Do not be surprised if when you try to leave the country you are detained and jailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Basil B, especially last sentence. I'd like it if the corrupt cop added another "0" to the fine. And then after fine paid, send him to jail. Whiskey OP ?

JimmyJ Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Two things very disturbing here - one we are familiar with and is commented on multiple times daily, the other no one has mentioned (perhaps everyone expected it). 1) The crooked cop is willing to let a drunk driver not suffer any consequences in return for a bribe; 2) The cop lets the driver drive off drunk (so he can get the bribe money). And if the drunk driver had returned with the money, the cop would have let him continue driving drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
