Gaybutton Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I just loved this one. The following appears in the PATTAYA CITY NEWS: _____ Two trainee Police Volunteers Arrested after Taking the Law into their Own Hands In the early hours of Tuesday Morning Police arrested two trainee Pattaya Police Volunteers accused of working outside of the law and without the supervision of Police and other volunteers. The two men are Khun Gitisak aged 23 and Khun Pitsopar aged 25. Both men recently went through a training course but do not possess Police Volunteer ID cards and are therefore not permitted to work as volunteers unless they are supervised by Police or existing volunteers. It appears that both men took it upon themselves to arrange a drugs sting after they received information of a suspected drug dealer operating in the area. Both men intended to purchase drugs from the suspect, however during the illegal sting operation, no drugs were forthcoming. Instead, the two men decided to take money from the suspect and alleged threats were issued to the suspect. Police Sergeant Major Songtum, the officer in charge of the Pattaya Police Volunteer Program confirmed to us that all genuine volunteers are issued with Identification Badges and should you ever be approached by a so-called Police Volunteer he urges you to challenge them to produce an ID Badge first. Both men will now face charges relating to their evening activities and have been removed from the shortlist of new trainee volunteers. Quote
