News Forum - “Transfer to an inactive post’ – punishment or paradise?
I said in another thread on this extortion case that I don't have any faith, at all, in these police being disciplined. Honor and honesty are two traits that are sorely lacking among the ranks of the Boys in Brown and their supervisors who just put them on a desk until the news quietens down and then it's back to situation normal. -

News Forum - Olympic Games on the brink as 40 nations threaten to pull out
“Threatening a boycott of the Olympic Games goes against the fundamentals of the Olympic movement and the principles it stands for. Says the IOC Seems to me that turning the Olympic Games into a political fray goes against the fundamentals of the Olympic movement and the principles it stands for. Why does the IOC seem to think it needs to have a dog in this fight. In truth the only one you are penalizing are the atheletes who trained for years to earn the right to compete in the games. You sure are not hurting Putin or Russia. -

It is a financial punishment. The losses are numerous - a loss of opportunities for self enrichment, having to pay to influence investigations, buying off witnesses & damage control etc etc plus the long term damage to their reputation as a successful “enabler” that itself has longer term financial impacts on their “earning” power. -

Bangkok’s recent spate of police “embarrassments” (cops caught committing crimes) has led to a spate of “transfer to an inactive post” (paid vacation) notices.

News Forum - Thai police admit extorting money from Taiwanese actress
Somewhat of a philosophical view which perhaps misses the point I was trying to make? The point of my post is that irrespective of cultural or political differences, I believe there are some universal standards to which humanity should have one voice and be held to. Obvious ones such as killing someone is a universal crime. Slavery is a universal crime. Freedom from discrimination. As you move along the spectrum (not the black and white view you suggest I hold), you get to things like the right to clean air. The right to voice opinions or the right to own property etc. For me, corruption is theft and a theft that erodes the higher order of human rights. If you look at the 30 articles of the universal declaration on human rights (attached), you can make a case that corruption works against the vast majority on this list, certainly the top 10. It is astonishing that some people would support or make excuses for those who engage in corruption and therefore take away or damage these fundamental human rights. . http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/edumat/hreduseries/hereandnow/Part-5/8_udhr-abbr.htm
