rooster59 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Prayut intervenes in spat between traffic policeman and “judge” Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha today had to intervene to help a traffic police officer in Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat who was abruptly transferred after a spat last week with a driver who claimed to be a senior judge. The driver, who was with his wife in the car, refused to show his driving license when stopped at a police check-point on a road in Thung Yai district by Corporal Aekapon Juisongkaew on the night of May 2. Identifying himself as the director-general of the Region 8 Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases, the driver told the traffic policeman he was a friend of the latter’s supervisor.

Hayduke Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 the Prime Minister also ordered the Office of Judicial Affairs to investigate whether the driver is indeed the director-general of the Region 8 Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases as claimed.... Yes...we must confirm that this 'director-general' person is indeed one of the nobility and is who he claims to be. Impersonating a "HiSo" is a serious offense and will not be tolerated. Once his elite bona fides have been established all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Sack the judge, if indeed that is what he is, and sack Pol Col Chokdee Ratwattanapong also. The pair of them are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the judicial system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z42 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thailand's judicial woes embodied in 1 pathetic incident. And the only person doing the right thing got removed from his position. The judge should be removed immediately, clearly unfit to sit in a post where he can legally condemn others as criminals. The superintendent should face the same fate, removing a subordinate for not granting (illegal) favours to a crony. Well done Prayuth on this, for once I completely agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should use 44 to remove the judge and set a good precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I am not a fan of Prayut, but for once a commend him. Whether the driver was a judge or not, he is not above the law, as a judge he should set an example by abiding by the law, not abusing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean transferred to an inactive post till all the drama dies down in a few months, all the while on full civil service pay and entitlement. Yep, that's sacked alright...

However, to me there is a certain irony that Prayut has intervened to 'appear' to uphold the law. He himself has put himself above the law by IIRC absolving himself in advance of anything he may be charged with in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I sometimes think that some people on here must have been living under a rock before coming to Thailand. It seems to be unknown to them that people with a bit of power have been trying to "throw their weight around" in every corner of the world....since Adam was a baby. They act like this could only happen in Thailand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I wish they would stop one of Prayuth's or Prawit's family members and ask for their id then have that on video. Or even stopping their motorcade cars. Or even one of the lower life of his crew and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what is good for the goose with supreme power and amnesty with the golden article 44 button, is generally speaking elite terms as saying it is not good for the gander.
