Somyot seeks harsher laws amid street racers’ jeers

BANGKOK: — General Somyot Pumpunmuang, the National Police chief, yesterday dismissed a reported verbal threat by juveniles who were recently arrested for racing on Bangkok’s streets and affirmed that those who violated the law would be severely punished.

“We won’t let children and youths misbehave and commit wrongdoings or create public disturbances. There must be stricter measures in place so that it wasn’t just detention, lawsuit filing, submitting them to rehabilitation and warning parents because they would re-commit the offence,” he said.

On Sunday night, a joint taskforce of police, soldiers and rescue workers rounded up 425 street racers on Ratchaphruek Road in Thon Buri district but later temporarily released 125 juveniles as the police’s 48-hour holding period had expired.

Somyot said the police failed to get the court’s detention order on time – but the matter does not end there. Even though the police were unable to submit the case to the public prosecutor within 48 hours of the arrests, it doesn’t mean the suspects walk free, Somyot said. The case will be with the public prosecutor soon.

425 motorcyclists apprehended for illegal street racing in Thailand

These motorcyclists certainly did not expect this to happen to them when they decided to race on the streets of Thailand.
…

They were made to lie on the floor with their hands tied behind their backs.

Their motorcycles were also confiscated and neatly placed together.

Police to tag young street racers with electronic bracelets in November
By Coconuts Bangkok

BANGKOK: — Police will start attaching electronic monitoring tags to caught street racers, many of whom are teenage ‘dek waens,’ in November.

The move is an effort to keep the young daredevils off the streets and out of trouble.

The timetable was unveiled by Justice Minister Chaikasem Nitisiri on Wednesday. The scheme will later be expanded to other prison inmates if the trial on the dek waen proves successful.

Electronic monitoring tags fitted to offenders enable authorities to track their position through use of GPS technology and location verification units.

It is part of a plan to ease the massive overcrowding in prisons and juvenile homes across the country, and release selected inmates into home detention.
