Swedenlars Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Just today at Jomtien Imm. Office - 3 brand new BMW 330e with cameras on the roof - for speeding or illegal businesses ? Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile appThat is a real fast police car. Unfortunately a Thai cop could not handle such a car.[emoji12]Gesendet von meinem SM-N950F mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Lovely new cars for Thai Police Immigration. Well done. They should use these cars to go and pick up the poor retirees who are harassed with never ending paperwork on visa extensions, extra documentation required, 90 day reporting, re-reporting by having to go back because some honorable uniform suddenly changed the rules behind the counter etc etc....Yes...use these cars to drive people to and fro by creating the VIP 90 DAY REPORT !...good price for you hansum, Sir ! ????

KhunBENQ Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Seen such months ago at the KK office. Even after getting close to that thingy on the roof, I am not sure what it is. From Feb 2019: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianezy0 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 What are those metal boxes mounted on the roof, behind the light rails? Maybe they are used to detect people on overstay ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabhand Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Also at Nakhom Pathom. The cameras are linked to the IMMI database.

SteveK Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I thought they were the new GT4000s - the infamous new facial recognition devices which can detect anyone with criminal convictions, anyone without the correct visa, or anyone from Africa.

gk10002000 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 wow. BMWs. What a waste of money for a small town police force that covers only a few square miles. Do they pay those high import tarrifs on these cars? Are they considered luxury imports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Several offices have had them for almost a year. Most have been sitting as they require special training to drive them which very few have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilotman Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Saw one in Bang Saray last week, very smart and it was in western (UK) livery, not the one shown here. No more being chased down on the motorway by a 10 year old brown pick up. I notice that the Royal Thai Navy Police around the Sattahip Base have been driving such cars for a couple of years. I guess that they get priority nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestB Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The one in jomtien has been there for many months. If I had to guess, someone has generously donated a fleet of BMW’s to police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klauskunkel Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 it's a perk. Cabinet Ministers and up get submarines. Immigration Chiefs get BMWs. When you see an official on a bike, well, you know his wife will be nagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benmart Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 And not one, single police patrol car in Pattaya to enforce traffic laws or respond to calls for service. Then there are police pickup trucks that seem to do nothing more than drive around with emergency lights flashing for whatever reason. Sedans seem to be reserved for the brass, whilst the ordinary drones drive pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The camera is an ARH MicroCAM M202/M402 unit that can be used for anything from recording, to pre-selected ANPR use or live ANPR use, amongst other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
