Police slap Facebook ranter with Computer Crimes Act

[jacko45k 17,247]

Being told to move your car from a NO-Parking Zone and having a hissy fit.

What a brat!

Guess even Thai police would find a way to justify their actions on Facebook.

This woman might be seriously wrong, why use the Computer Crime Act against her?

She did what is done daily, break the law in a vehicle. Why this cop decided to enforce it right then, one will never know. Good on him. I wonder if the next one he sees gets a fine because of her little tantrum?? As far as her slanderous comments...welllllll.....we all know the truth with the RTP. No need to elaborate any further.

for me two things emerge from this;

first, when the police generally do not uphold the law, people who are quite reasonably required to follow it believe they are being unfairly picked on.

second, the outrageous overreaction to a whinging unimportant Facebook post is symptomatic of the apparent need of the "authorities" both police and military to control every aspect of dissent and stamp down on ordinary people - what are they afraid of? This girl is surely not going to amass a following and lead a counter coup!

Not like she is the first person to park in a NO parking zone....however she is one of a few who get caught out while the police officer involved made it clear to her there is no parking here...just like the sign says...but she did not want to comply so we can see she tried to turn it around and it back fired on her...ha ha ha ...another silly, mindless Thai girl.

Cheers

Destroying it or adding to it?

[micmichd 1,583]

People always get angry at police if they are caught for breaking some rule. And at present times, they post their anger on Facebook.

If I were police, I would counter with a harsh comment on FB and a private smile.

No, but she might give the impression that people can express their opinions in public by using social media. That cannot possibly be allowed. What, a degree of freedom of speech? Never.

If they wanted her to move her vehicle from a No Parking area then they were totally correct. If she is so stupid to think they are not then she shouldnt be driving..............period

[TimmyT 239]

people are sick of scumbags parking their cars wherever they want. and police actions were totally justified. sue he for defamation. it will be a good lesson for those who think they can rant Thai authorities anonymously.

[micmichd 1,583]

If this woman is sued with the Computer Crime Act, then all Farangs that permanently confuse fines and fees with bribes on social networks could be charged with the same offense.

my commiserations to this young lady who now will be used as an example to other facebook users who wish to slander our magnificent police force ? the superintendent I think must be on another planet he obviously thinks the rtp have a good reputation I think somebody should bring him up to date .

[Tatsujin 12,635]

Is it slander when it's the truth?

[springheeled jack 328]

I feel sorry for this young lady because now they can use her as an example to other facebook users who wish to slander our great police force ? the superintendent whoever he may be must be on another planet he obviously thinks the police have a good reputation I think someone should put him wise .
