Cops doing the rounds

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Put in the back of the trucks, Covid tests, fines, photos! and being caught in a gay bar. What a nightmare.

I was around street 130/5 last night about 10pm (on my way to midnight mass) and they were coming down street 5 in full force.

About 10 bikes with two people on them, a fancy truck with Police signage, lights and sirens etc and a open-bed truck full of furniture. The stopped at one the bars on street 5, very near 110, and very near to the 'Police station', and all jumped off the bikes and piled into the bar. They may well have woken up their colleagues next door.

OMG, it's even worse than I thought. That pissed old bloke could barely get in the truck.

WHO are all those people at the scene? They can't all be nosy passers by, they are all there the moment it kicks off. Are they all wanna be reporters?

When the KTVs get raided, the customers are taken into custody by a fleet of nice buses, not a lowloader truck!

Apparently on the video you can hear that there are 23 people on the back of the lowloader, a few more in a car. Some tried to run but were apprehended. There was no more transport available so they kept the rest inside the bar until more trucks arrived.

What about the point of 12.14 or so on the video! Are the people along the temple wall who are clearly pointed out by the reporters, are they bystanders just passing at the wrong time, or had they come out of the bar? Even so, when there talking about the rules, clearly there's too many customers in the bar, but then again there are well over 15 people onlooking on the street.

The 'competent' authorities better hope the international press doesn't latch onto this. That video is a perfect PR nightmare

What's wrong with the video? It just shows people being gently arrested for breaking COVID lockdown rules. How is that a PR nightmare?

Police round up gays in Cambodian capital city night raid.

Police invite media to expose gay men during night raid.

In Phnom Phen every night many venues breach COVID rules, why was only a gay club targeted for a public raid?!

There, I don't work in journalism and just easily created 3 headlines that would get most editors at certain tabloids very excited
