Not to seem cynical, but what the hell; I am glad that these two made the necessary mistakes that it took for the Thai authorities to stumble upon their warrants. One man on overstay for 3 years? There you go! Another man arrested in a housing development; but for what? I will lay odds that had these bums not made mistakes that were grave enough to compel the authorities to dig deep, then they would not presently be detained over the warrants for their arrests.
I stated it that way, because I can not idly sit and read this, and allow the authorities to take credit for something they did not set out to do in the first place, contrary to how this article would like us to think. There is no way you can convince me that the Thai police have the time to single out requests from foreign governments and prioritize it to the top of their "to do" list, over their collecting tea money, managing their brothels and bars, and generally paying hide and seek with their duties.
Reading between the lines, it appears that these two rogues committed mistakes that got the attention of the Thai authorities from the perspective of greed, and over the course of processing these two for tea money, the police "stubbed their toes" on the arrest warrants, but only as an afterthought. No way they initially dealt with these two from the perspective the article suggests. They simply are not that organized; nor is their focus on assisting other nations.
We will see if they are actually extradited, or if they mysteriously disappear into Thailand's morning mists, due to Thailand's internationally renowned lust for for bribe money.
Cynical? Hell yes. This forum has over 300 pages of statistics to support everything I implied.
Where should the thanks go? To the computer programmers, who designed the system to contain the information that was there when some lazy bum took the time to read it and pass the info on. Also the taxpayers, who funded the system in the hopes that lazy bums would notice the information on their screens, place morals (or fear?) above greed, and pass that information on.
