webfact Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Police promise transparency as whistle-blower stirs social media Caption: Under investigation Police in Bangkok have reacted to a picture posted on Facebook by well-known whistle-blower Kriangkrai Thai-orn. Comment was rife online after Kriangkrai posted a picture of a man with a woman on a police motorcycle. Neither are wearing helmets. He asked Hua Mark police to investigate. The Royal Thai Police spokesman Krissana Patanacharoen was soon involved saying that Hua Mark police denied it was one of them. He promised a full and transparent investigation to find the rider. If he was a policeman he would face internal disciplinary sanctions as well as a fine, he said.

spidermike007 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Even though nearly everyone knows the police here are not serious people, they are still expected to set an example. Sort of amusing. They are franchisees. Not law enforcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police here do not have credibility amongst the Thai population for this and various other reasons and I am beginning to think the non wearing of helmets may indirectly be a sign of protest.

colinneil Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Why is this in the news forum? Should be in the jokes forum, because that is what it is. Police promise transparency.... That will be a first. Laws are there only for peasants to obey, we are above the law.????️♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaoleBoy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Today saw a policeman riding his bike with his officer hat on. This counts for a helmet right? (I couldn't pull over fast enough to snap a picture.) This was down Sukhumvit Soi 26 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police rarely enforce the motorcycle helmets law -- except when it's time for some revenue enhancement. I was in downtown BKK the other day, standing at an intersection waiting for a long light, and watching a policeman out in the middle of the intersection directing traffic. All kinds of folks, singles, doubles, triples, were zooming past on motorcycles, most of them not wearing helmets. The guy never blinked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1962 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Why have a law in place if it’s not going to be enforced.LOL i suppose it’s a bit like a condom,if you don’t wear it your the one taking the risk.But I will admit,both feel better without.

trainman34014 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Officers often ride around with cloth caps on and no helmet, see it two or three times every week around our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potless Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Of course the police are transparent. TVF members seem to be able to see right through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SammyT Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Agree with all the sentiments above. That said, those shitty little tin cap helmets they wear are probably not much better at protecting the skull in an accident than not wearing one at all.
