Cambodian Police Drug Crackdowns in 2020

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I'm a big fan for ''roadside chain gangs '' for these guys, rather than locking them up in prison and doing nothing but plan how to do drugs from their new friends in prison.
This not only brings shame on them when seen by family / friends , but educates others to not do drugs, or this will happen to you.
The first ''chain gang '' should be used to cut the grass and pick up the rubbish along PP riverside.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

probably because the police control the trade and want to keep prices up

Retired Police Captain demolishes the War on Drugs

some interesting points there..

"police was established to protect people from other people doing them harm. Law enforcement was not intended to protect people from themselves.
Protecting yourself is a function of family, church, education and health care system"

Enforcing morality is not the job of police. They are not trained to do it nor are they capable of doing it

We have the most effficient prisons in the world. But we do not have ONE drug free prison in America. If you are not capable of keeping drugs out of those prisons how can you be deluisional to keep them out of free society.

...and many more.worth watching

work is for people who cant find truffles
