Pattaya cops try the ol' drug planting bit
This victim had ace in his pocket. How many people are not so lucky and end up paying through the teeth to make the bullshit charges go away? How many tourists? Must be a nightmare, as most have no way to defend themselves and no other recourse.
Pattaya Reporter in “drugs” incident with Traffic Police Volunteer
Posted on March 2, 2015
A Pattaya Reporter became embroiled in a “drugs” incident on Saturday Night after he was stopped at a Pattaya Police Checkpoint and a Traffic Police Volunteer informed officers that the reporter had dropped a consignment of illegal drugs, which was later found to be false.
Khun Tiwagon aged 25, works for an English Language Media Organization in Pattaya and was riding around Pattaya on Saturday Night on his motorbike, looking for news stories, when he encountered a Pattaya Traffic Police Checkpoint in South Pattaya.
The Reporter was stopped and questioned, and decided not to tell officers he was a reporter. Moments later a Traffic Police Volunteer arrived and claimed the reporter had dropped a consignment of illegal drugs further up the road, even though no drugs were presented to Police Officers who were in the process of questioning Khun Tiwagon.
At this point, the reporter called his colleagues who began to record the incident. At this point the Traffic Police Officers retreated, leaving the Volunteer to be questioned by reporters.
Later, the Reporter made an official complaint at Pattaya Police Station where officers promised to follow-up the allegations that the volunteer attempted to “plant” drugs on the reporter.
There is concern that this illegal practice may be taking place on a regular basis and it is hoped that by publishing this story in various media platforms and social media channels, it will stop with immediate effect.

Expect more scams of every sort as the Army expropriates traditional police sources of income.

They'll have to spend even more time rounding up ladyboys on the beachfront at 100 baht per detention.

The drug planting scam is alive and well in Sihanoukville as a Brit senior citizen I hear is still in jail because of such a setup and even though his family donated $60,000. to the local Gendarmerie's widows and orphan's fund

I know the case you're talking about and he was either guilty or very fucking stupid. I doubt anyone planted drugs on him.

Is that the old guy that got caught with adult toys by cops after not paying his hooker/ being too rough? Had photos of himself on his Facebook page with Thierry Henry?

No, it was the dude with the same name as the former British ambassador. Can't quite remember it now, but he had these absolutely ridiculous American flag shorts on in his arrest photo. I remember the case you're talking about too... pretty sure they're different.
