This is just so ridiculous..the law is upheld by corruption and deciet and the people will always be the ones to suffer ...

Why is it not possible to have  a legal and political system that serves the country and it's people and not the crims...

Totally agree. I’ve said many times before, you really have to stop and think before you realise just how poisonous corruption is. The problem in Thailand is that it is utterly rooted in their culture. It’s at the stage where it’s no longer seen as an immoral or bad act. It’s almost justified as part of the hierarchy of society. It’s a dreadful disease and once a nation is infected like it is in Thailand, it’s all but impossible to remove it. The Thais were never colonised. Perhaps they should request it now and allow others to sort them out as they are clearly incapable of doing it for themselves. .

Transferred to a new station with less motorcycles. The cops receiving stolen goods have a pretty poor excuse considering they are them in the easiest position to check if the cases were closed or not and the motorcycles forfeited.

Other police officers reportedly confessed to buying the motorbikes, adding that they thought the case had been closed. 

A, Is this the reason, that only 2 of the finest are on trial, here?  Or us it keeping the scandal as little, as possible?

What is next? Transfer to another province, one rank taken away and done?

If you live in a country where previously you thought your police force was not up to scratch, come and live in Thailand for a few months. Then you will see what bad really looks like. When I tell people back home news stories like this, you can see them almost disbelieving what I’m saying. Not because they don’t trust me, more because the stories seem so outlandish.
