webfact Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Oops! Canadian from "VANCOVER" arrested using fake passport A 54 year old Canadian man was arrested on the border at Mukdahan trying to leave Thailand on a stolen passport that had had its main bearer information page changed. There were a total of six things wrong with several pages in his passport but the most glaring was that Vancouver was spelled "Vancover" on Page 2. Naew Na said that officers on the Friendship Bridge 2 were helped by the biometrics system, the Canadian embassy in Bangkok and an Interpol alert. But the passport being used appeared to be a poor fake and had been reported stolen. The numbers on several pages and barcodes did not match and the wrong ink had been used. The Canadian is now in custody.

JimmyJ Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 "Naew Na said that officers on the Friendship Bridge 2 were helped by the biometrics system, the Canadian embassy in Bangkok and an Interpol alert. But the passport being used appeared to be a poor fake and had been reported stolen. The numbers on several pages and barcodes did not match and the wrong ink had been used." So anotherwords biometrics was irrelevant. Anyone who simply looked at the passport could discern that it is an obvious fake. But let's keep selling Biometrics as the answer to everything, to justify the expenditure and to build a database on every citizen as well as visitors.

blazes Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The mis-spelling of Vancouver as Vancover might suggest, if one can "hear" the accent behind the spelling, that the miscreant is Spanish-speaking. Spanish speakers tend to say "government" not as GUVunment, but as GOvunment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
