Changing policies to combat drug traffickers: strong drug or just a flood?

A scandal has erupted in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, over a policy of suppressing "influencers," or a situation that resembles waterlogged fields.

In a police officer's home, his younger brother assaulted the officer in front of other police officers who had been invited to a monthly party. This event reflects Thai society, where relationships between people have their own characteristics and "influencers" are an integral part of them.

In addition, such relationships that raise questions about what benefits are being pursued or not remain intact even after losses occur. In such cases, the controlling party usually takes a decision or action that raises questions about "what to do when cows are lost and pens are still there" or not.

"There is need to check how such people can be leaders, heads or community leaders and what is the future of the country if the population acts in the style of these people. Henceforth, it will be necessary to keep records, background checks and behavior and if such behavior is found, they cannot be leaders of the masses and will only have one place to go, which used to be under the Ministry of Home Affairs but is now being taken over by the Ministry of Justice and will probably be happy to accept such people," said Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Ministry of Home Affairs Anutin Charulevakun during a ceremony to hand over policies to provincial governors on September 8, 2566.

Not only that, but Anutin's looks also caught the attention of the people standing next to him, including Chad Tysett, the head of the Home Office.

This may be the last record of the drug and influencer policy he announced immediately after the startling events in the country and crime. It would seem that nothing has changed from past events when the crime of "influencers" was not reduced.

The controlling party usually comes out with tough measures and measures in advance when "influential persons" problems arise.

One part of this document is written with alarm: "Since there have been cases of individuals who commit dangerous crimes that threaten national security or destroy the country's economy and society by acting violently, threatening, blackmailing or representing themselves that others are afraid to confront or complain about them for fear of their safety. In addition, there have been cases of people engaging in illegal activities such as selling drugs, gambling, and carrying weapons illegally."

"In order to gain undesirable advantages by law, making it difficult and risky to bring the perpetrators to justice, it is necessary to establish special procedures for the prevention and prosecution of such crimes to strengthen the application of the law, which is already in place at present. This will improve efficiency in the prevention and prosecution of crime and will also protect public order", especially clause 3, which gives police officers the power to arrest those who commit crimes and control detainees for further investigation, even if instructed under a law that is being repealed that allows police to target "influential persons" and criminals.

But it also reflects one of the current situations in the atmosphere of the city in a democratic society using the law routinely to deal with mass disorder, such as the events at the house of the head of the family where there was a policeman and several dozen policemen, but surprisingly the younger brother of the head of the family was able to get away, and during the reign of Pruth Chan-ocha, who was in the atmosphere of democratic government, there were also measures taken against "influencers" and drugs in 2546, which led to a series of murders, police interference, and a series of murders.

This is why the events with the younger brother of the head of the family, who killed a policeman in front of the eyes of the police, have created a new opportunity to re-discuss the policy to deal with "influencers". This seems similar to the fact that the new man in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Anutin Charulevakun, is getting a lot of publicity by announcing a policy to deal with drugs and the influence of "influencers" as soon as possible.
