bluesofa 40,284 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (from the link above) "changed into new clothes he bought at Wat Chaimongkol Market and eluded police on Pattaya Beach" Seems irresponsible of the Pattaya Mail to print this inside information. Now these miscreants will know how to avoid the long arm of the law - by taking a change of clothing on their next bank heist. Link to post Share on other sites

It helps to educate people of the methods used by criminals to evade capture and that such tactics didn't work in this case. Changing clothes is an age old tactic and publishing or not publishing its use is irrelevant. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Im no criminal but that information has been widely available from US shows in the past (both real and fictional). So if you want to blame someone its not this newspaper who started it. You could also reason that all the CSI and other kind of series are bad as they also give information. Personally I dont see it as a problem as real criminals would know this already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Re-enactment should have involved the store owner with a knife showing police what he did to her ! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but the re-enactment cops seem to be the most un-accepting of bribes going by the lack of people killed during re-enactments Link to post Share on other sites
