Penalties for foreigners taking drugs

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Are you stupid there are no laws that give powers to randomly drug test people. Cambodian people just comply.
Go and find out I'm not doing your homework I did my homework long ago. Snowflake. You're accusing me of not following a law that doesn't exist. All those vaccines must have affected brain.

Where did you hear that? As a foreigner you are obliged to follow the same criminal laws as anyone else.
So can you quote me the law that gives them the power to drug test people randomly?
Come back to me when you do.
More appropriate would be your quoting of the relevant statutes that clearly excuse foreign visitors from those laws. Maybe even with a practical demonstration of this- break an obvious serious law, and see what happens. Maybe interview the South American woman while you’re at it. Even diplomats aren’t above the law; only protections which can be exercised and which might impede the police.

Clearly the Karens of the world may need to be added to the entitled rainbow parade!
So you don't know the law. Thanks for clearing that up.
Go and investigate it and find out and then come back and explain what legislation they use to drug test people.
Thanks.
Ps I'm sure that a member is searching for that information right now. Watch this space!
You do seem a tad invigorated by this. It should be fun watching you twist yourself inside out trying to convince lucid folk of you delusions. Do continue.

Ok, smart ass, there's no point engaging with you. You can't pinpoint the legislation allowing police to randomly test Cambodian citizens because it doesn't exist. Enjoy your internet.

Yes, and as we all know the security forces here always do things by the book. I can just imagine you threatening to call your embassy while they slap your head off the cell wall. :ROFL:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

There are no laws that give powers to randomly ask for bribes. How is that working so far?

I'm getting confused so there is a law allowing police to drug test people or there isn't. Let's get back to your original reply to my comment. You said I would be breaking the law. If I didn't comply , which I wouldn't because there is no law. Now you have moved the goalposts and talking about something completely different Bravo.

You have gone from some nonsense about foreigners having special rights to random tests on Cambodians. You don't seem to be able to remember your own posts. 8)
