    If you get caught with drugs in thailand, you usually get an option, give the Police info about pother people selling larger quananties of drugs than you got caught with, and then walk free without facing persecution.
    The caught Policeman was probably informed ion by another dealer who had gotton caught .

    That it has continued without radical change since WW2 without too much upset, give or take the odd riot, is a testament to its success.
    Sounds very much like you could be talking about "America" here, thegent...Can you see the common denominator?...

    It is this fact which makes it all the more obscene the way Thaksin manipulated public opinion during his murderous bogus campaign against drugs involving the slaughter of over 2500 innocent victims. He, above all, knew from his first hand knowledge of the trade that senior ranking police were at the heart of the business.

    Seems to be a lot of these reports lately, is it a sign of the times that the junta are actually serious ? Or will it all fizzle out in a power Grab and the usual suspects will carry on with the same shit after establishing some sort of credibility?

    Do you buy the spiel that all of those killed were 'innocent victims'? I certainly don't, but I'm sure the class of people they got were hardly kingpins.

    I am surprised.
    Did I miss something?
    Every article I read about a drug bust,
    the BIB confiscate everything of value:
    motorbike, money, gold, cars, gold chains, telephones, computers, houses, deeds,....
    But I read nothing in this case about confiscating right away all the valuable things he owns,..
    WHY...???

    He would first have to go to Court, get found to be guilty and then the state can begin the process of confiscating his ill gotton gains .

    It is a standard argument by the do-gooders. They were not convicted in a court so they were by definition innocent.

    Police arrest wife of drug suspect cop

    The wife of a top policeman arrested on Monday for drug trafficking will also be charged alongside a third suspect as investigators expand their probe into the case.

    Pol Lt Col Chamnan Pumpaijit, the deputy chief of Chiang Mai's Chai Prakan police station, was caught trying to smuggle 800,000 speed pills and 1kg of crystal methamphetamine from Myanmar to Bangkok, police say.

    The officer was recognised by his peers as a top anti-drugs crusader in the North, but police arrested him following a search of his Toyota Fortuner in Chiang Rai's Mae Sai district on Monday. They say new was carrying drugs worth 164 million baht, stuffed into a suitcase inside the vehicle.

    A safe containing 15 gold bars worth around 2.9 million baht was yesterday seized from the home of Pol Lt Col Chamnan. Chiang Rai police also arrested two more suspects — a 32-year-old Shan man identified only as Pok, from Myanmar's Taungyi province, and 30-year-old Mei Srinathreethandorn.

    Going to be a significant lifestyle change for the police officer and his wife it seems, in one rapid plunge.


    "A safe containing 15 gold bars worth around 2.9 million baht was yesterday seized from the home of Pol Lt Col Chamnan.

    Pol Gen Pongsapat said Pol Lt Col Chamnan claimed he committed the crime because he had recently moved in with Ms Mei and owed 1.9 million baht in debt to a police cooperatives fund.

    But the deputy national police chief dismissed the explanation, saying the gold bars in his safe would have been sufficient to clear the alleged debts.
    "


    It will be interesting to hear the officer's clarification of that.

    It would be interesting to look back at the cases that brought about his " fame" as a top drugs cop.
