Quote: from Baskoy on 6:02 am on July 9, 2009 Cheap Charlie, I have been stopped and searched 3 times Sois 22,23 and 31. Seems to be the Thong Lo police rather than Lumpini has never happened in lower Sukhumvit.
Thats gone on for a while now mentioned in other places Lupini and those Sois. It obvious what they are looking for. No stories about planting stuff though so if you have nothing no problem.Except as Madfrog says this aint nice to experience. I can imagine some might think last trip to los in such a case.

Correct. I haven't experienced it in a long time. The time that this happened frequently was just after Taksin was gone and the military took over.

MickTheK "The eco crisis might bring out the ugly face of arbitrariness" is among the worst things that can happen to ordinary mongers. I already see it rearing its head ni different ways in other countries. Cops raiding an innocuous party. We have read in BTF about that raid on a swingers party. If this downturn lasts longer and leads cops further down the path of arbitrariness I am sure lots many more tourists would decide it is not worth taking the risk to travel and get slammed inside a cage in a foreign land for no fault of theirs. Already wrong people are getting picked up for so-called cyber crimes that they never performed just because somebody else hacked or because the cops said so. That would be such a shame because a wide slump in nightlife economy would send so many lives into ruin in an economy that is so heavily dependent on tourism. How do we cope with it ? For one thing, take to yoga and meditate and hope to ride out the recession!

I was searched two time near soi cowboy at night, one time in Pratunam in the late afternoon and one time at 2AM in Rama 2 I m 35, not really dressing a special way but have long hairs so probably it explain why the f****ng police like to search me so often and so "in deep"...é years ago they went to the point to open my watch and remove the battery to see what was under??!!??

Like it or not most officials rely on profiling. The long hair was probably the trigger. I never heard of such extensive searching. I have only been searched twice myself. Once while waiting for a taxi on Soi 23 just a simple emply front pockets search with an open purse for my TG. The second on a traffic stop on wireless road in a taxi full of six people. One guy spoke Thai and we were waved on. I drive here and on many traffic stops they will wave me on as they do not want to deal with an English speaking farang. I was pulled over many times when I bought a new car. The Red Tags are just a target. They have the most indane rules for red plated cars like you cannot drive at night. One MIB frankly stated "Look you can afford to buy a nice new car you can afford to give me some money." 100 THB and I was on my way.

Mornings on Sukhumvit road near soi 49- 51. They usually pull over either (a) motorcycles, (b) trucks (c) taxis. I wish they would pull over the buses. Or at least make them stop using all 3 lanes like Death Race 2009!!!
