    Royal Thai Police General Warn Criminals Before Crime Campaign Begins

    BANGKOK – The Royal Thai Police Deputy Commissioner Pol Gen Sriwara Rangsipramanakul has forwarned criminals that police are set to launch a campaign targeting 6,000 individuals with influence related to illegal conducts, says a police official.

    Pol Gen Sriwara Rangsipramanakul has revealed that starting from tomorrow, the police will be working closely with personnel from the military and the administrative sector to eradicate local groups of persons with influences related to 16 categories of crime, such as bid rigging, establishment of illegal authority, and drugs.

    He said the police have targeted 6,000 individuals related to illegal conducts, after a 4-month intensive investigation campaign. The police will not disclose any details regarding these suspects at this time.

    Pol Gen Sriwarahas said the operations will be carried out according to the military’s strategic plan, with support provided by the police. The police force has been active in conducting arrests on individuals believed of involvement with local mafias.

    Nice to receive a warning.

    Here in UK they smash your door down at 4 or 5 in the morning and scream 'police stay where you are don't move'

    6000 warnings to somchaicouldntgiveafuck@gmail.com

    Sadly the cassette player they were using to run the Sinclair ZX81 packed up, so they'll just shoot a few random people in the face anyway.

    It's only polite to give them time to get out of dodge.
    That way no one has to really actually arrest anyone with influence thereby risking their job and future.

    Yet, on the surface, we don't recognize the real criminals here.

    Most Thais do - just won't say much in the public sphere.

    Barely scratching the surface.


    From Wikipedia:

    The Royal Thai Police (RTP) (Thai: สำนักงานตำรวจแห่งชาติ) are the national police force of Thailand. The RTP employs between 210,700 and 230,000 officers

    ...

    On the occasion of the festivities surrounding its 12th anniversary, the Office of the Ombudsman, Thailand reported on its activities since its inception. Chief Ombudsman Panit Nitithanprapas noted that her office had handled nearly 25,000 cases during the period and observed that the Royal Thai Police had been found to be "the most corrupt agency in Thailand".[9] Curiously, Ms Panit's photo does not appear among those of other former ombudsmen on the organisation's website, nor is there any other mention of her.

    ...

    In a 2008 article, The Economist summed up their assessment succinctly: "In Thailand's most sensational crimes, the prime suspects are often the police."
