(TNA) Amazing Thailand. In a normal country, they would declare: "ALL corrupt policemen WILL face criminal action" SOME countries have the death penalty for corruption. Worth a try.

Which one will it be, or swept under the rug as a misunderstanding. You can not make this up. Such a corrupt nation, its no wonder the common people have nothing for their future and why the students are protesting. Guess with Covid no one was able to buy their promotions so the upper echelon needed the money themselves that they would normally get and disenfranchised all of the subordinates. Im surprised that these people have even been found to have embezzled money being they are quite high in the chain of command. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cracker1 Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Royal Thai Police Office completed the first round of its investigation into alleged embezzlement of COVID-related allowances. Seems wrong to me that the investigation is being conducted by RTP ? Also seems wrong that none of 189 senior Police officers have been reported as being dismissed from the service. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CrunchWrapSupreme Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 15 hours ago, kotsak said: Those Benz and mia nois don't come cheap..???? When I lived out in rural Issan, I had this stunning neighbor in the moo ban. Incredible body, better than you'd see in any go go. I often heard her when she went outside on the phone. She had at least three farang sponsors going that she had snagged from her bargirl days. Sometimes she'd have them on speaker, and I could hear them begging and groveling, that they could be the only one, and get better returns on their investment. Man. Those chicks are real good at what they do. They also work both sides of the street. In addition to her farang paydays, I'd see Benzes parked out in the soi which she'd go hop in, with older, business type Thais peeking out. The kicker was when a high ranking RTP would occasionally come pick her up, brazenly in his police pickup, which he'd then park right out in front of the bar down the street, where the drinks would flow all night for her and her friends. He had no qualms about letting it be known that policework, despite their supposedly low salary, was his ticket to the high life. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many bosses in Western countries would steal the overtime pay or bonuses of their staff? They should all be sacked. No inactive posts. Agree with you however... nothing really new about Western bosses stealing... heres but one example: 1991 Newspaper magnet Robert Maxwell mysterious death but... “His death on 5 November 1991 shocked the country. Shock turned to anger within weeks when a £460m hole was discovered in the pension funds of his companies.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzian Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 They have to start somewhere, and I'm impressed that this dirty linen is being washed in such public view. And I don't care if the penalties are not severe, this still seems like a new turn of events. Corruption is the system, but like the old saying crime doesn't pay, it's not a sustainable business model in the modern world in the long run. Unless of course China completely takes over the world, then that's a different matter. To paraphrase Cato the Elder: China delenda est. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they would also need to do the same with the army otherwise they would just move in and fill the void. With What/Who would they Replace them? In Aus when the young cops start they get Transferred to another city /town every 2 years so that they can't get a real foot hold in their district for corruption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) And what will be done about this? The Anti-Corruption Organization of Thailand (ACT) is one of the most feeble and ineffective of all the tools Prayuth has used to deceive the people into believing that he is fighting corruption. Who was the last high level authority, in the police, immigration, the army, or the active administration they arrested, charged, tried convicted, and sent to prison? Nobody. Zero. Nunca. Nada. Will these guys be looking at a conviction? Of course not. At most a transfer, at full pay. After all, Prayuth has promised to protect them, and he has spent all his might, for six years doing so.

Popular Post 2530Ubon Posted January 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2021 15 hours ago, Natai Beach said: A lot of outrage on this forum. I didn’t realize the love was so strong for the police. I think it is funny, cops ripping off cops. Better than them ripping off the citizens. I couldn’t less about them. The police don't care about their own. Just look at the red bull guy 'Boss'. He ran over and killed a cop whilst drunk and high on cocaine, then drove away. The cops tried so hard to get him off - bribing officials, changing their statements, changing the evidence, finding new witnesses and pretty much refusing to issue an interpol red notice. If they can't look after their own, how can we expect them to look after the general public? Time they were all sacked and replaced with trustworthy and reliable officers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I couldn’t care less, but many members on this forum seem to have a love for the police that I can’t understand. He didn’t mean it, he paid off the coppers family and apologized, which is better for everyone, the family gets some cash, Red Bull gets his freedom, and the coppers get a windfall for organizing it. A win, win, win. Everybody happy and a good way to sort an unfortunate accident. Throw him in jail, he wastes years of his life, the family get nothing, the coppers miss out on their windfall and the taxpayer has to house and feed him. A lose, lose, lose, lose. The thai system makes more sense. Everyone is a winner. Sending him to jail isn’t going to bring the copper back to life. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The copper was walking on a motorway at night. I kind of like knowing that there is an option if I have an unfortunate accident. I have paid my way out of drink driving before. Learnt my lesson and actually hadn’t planned to drive that night anyway because of drinking, but the bloke I had earlier organized to drive my car home let me down. Still, it was a bad decision. Copper wanted 20,000. But I only had 7,000 on me and he took it. Pattaya, corner of Pattaya Tai and Second Road. 4 years ago. He was happy, I avoided a night locked up in a cell with yaba affected horny ladyboys and a court appearance the next morning. Win win.

What a load of Red Bull <deleted>, accident? - the little toe -rag was p*ssed and high on drugs that makes him responsible for the death. He should now in jail along with anyone involved in the cover-up and the family fined to the hilt for organising and going along with the cover-up - the money going to the family with ongoing support - - but unfortunately it's the usual "don't you know who I am" - - and that's not a question, it's a statement of watch your a rse in Thailand. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
