Highway Police Plan Lawsuit against Land Cargo Fed

The highway police is going to file civil charges against the land transport federation seeking of 50 million baht in compensation regarding allegations that the agency has been demanding kickbacks from cargo truck operators.

Highway Police Chief Police Major General Norabun Naen-na said the accusation by the Land Transport Federation and its president Yoo Jienyuenpong that his agency has been demanding kickbacks from truck service operators in exchange for allowing them to carry loads above the legal weight limit is being investigated.

The federation, led by Yoo, staged protests last week at the head office of the Highway Police asking that Norabun be dismissed due to accusations that cargo truck operators must buy stickers for 3,500 baht each from the agency's officers to pass weigh stations without being checked.

The national police chief earlier assigned the Central Investigation Bureau, or CIB, to conduct an inquiry into the works of highway police officers.

Norabun said he has already set up panels to investigate his agency's officers in provinces such as Pijit and Supanburi where many complaints about overloaded trucks have been filed.

He said the CIB has given his agency 7 days to forward their findings, but say they may be unable to meet the deadline, so he is asking that the investigation be extended.

The highway police yesterday held an exhibition to showcase its achievements in and seizing overloaded trucks and arresting narcotics smugglers over the past year.

What a non-story, we all know Thai lorry drivers would never overload their pickups and trucks and drive on public roads in that state!
