News Forum - Khao San scam: tourists forced to pay for returning lost wallet
The police get paid out of the profit. That's why they didn't help. What you do in this situation is you ask them to fill in the paperwork, then kindly mention courts, judges, publicity and embassies, and dwindling tourist revenue, and then see how willing they are to continue their scam. Not very willing, is the answer. -

Those social issues have nothing to do with the decriminalization of cannabis. In the USA social assistance and access to healthcare is very dependent upon local and state funding. In New York state, upstate New York does not offer the services that wealthier downstate New York does. Many people are sent for care in hub care centers and the greater New York City area is one of them. Many US states offer few medical resources or social assistance to the poor, e.g. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana. People in need move to regions where they can access such assistance and where people are less harsh to them. California is the largest economy in the USA, it is also the dumping ground for many of the other US States social problems. Easy to point the finger, but the cause of the problem is the refusal of local counties and states to address their own social problems. This has been going on for the past century. Remember the dustbowl of the dirty thirties? That's when hundreds of thousands of destitute midwesterners moved to California.
