The ruling came despite the lack of an extradition treaty between the two countries, as the UAE expressed willingness to extradite suspects to Thailand in future.


Kind of reminds me of an agreement that we, Britain has with America whereby people can be extradited to America for alleged offences even though the crime did not happen in America.

This agreement was supposed to be reciprocal but America renegedPosted Image

America has 51 different court systems. The federal court and 50 state courts. Unless it was a federal court that denied extradition then it was not America that denied the extradition. Any state court can deny extradition if there are criminal charges on the state level. So it very well could be a "Texas" decision. What case in particular are you referring?

So you have a problem with someone who's aware of a crime being committed reporting it to the proper authorities?

And many ferengs wonder why they have such a bad reputation in Thailand!

Appreciate the non-snarky comments. Your help and advice are very nice. I l love it when people must tell others how great and wonderful they are at others expense. However; the person in question about reporting a crime did not seem to care about the crime for the last 6 years. Once again, looking for an answer about if immigration will investigate and how many ex-bf/gf's are reported for working illegally. And advice for what to do if/when immigration has been contacted. Thank you.

EmptyMind: You said that I wrote: "just because you got away with it" is OK ?

That is not what I said. I will include the original post so you cannot manipulate what I said:

I am not  proud of my overstay. I made some poor decisions. I researched the  ramifications of overstaying and decided that at the time it was the  best option available to me. I am extremely embarrassed of my action and  wish that it had never happened. I would have accepted any punishment  that Thailand chose to give me. I am thankful that they showed leniency  towards my situation. I would not advise anyone to overstay nor would I  choose to overstay again.

By the way, I did not "get away with ignoring the law," I had to pay a  20,000 baht fine. At the time, Thailand believed that was the proper  punishment. I was punished for my actions. Maybe I was not punished as harshly as you would have liked, but I was punished.
  
Please quote me correctly. Thank you.
