In the article "Thai shrine: Lack of modern equipment 'slows blast probe'" points out that Thai police say tracking bomber is lack because the equipment that we have is old and not good enough to identify and tracking the wanted man, who with a yellow t-shirt and dropped the backpack before it exploded at the Erawan shrine. The technologies that we have cannot recognize and track the suspected guy.CCTVs are appear for traffic and security in every where in Bangkok, it can taking photo of the car's plate clearly. When I driving or walking on the street there are many cameras on the street and a lot more at the intersection. I suspect every people can got footage by cameras in Bangkok if we on the road.
I watched a video on Facebook that BBC reporter have some evidence from the bomb at the Erawan shrine which the police was not collected. Then, he bring the evidence to the police headquarter and give it to the police, but they say "it is close." From this video I realize that police does not have a responsibility and passion to investigate this bomb attack because of not a business time.
Taiwan have CCTV everywhere in there country, like it have in Bangkok. When it have a thief steal something, car crashed and ran away, or a murder police can tracking and arrested every people, even if they went to the mountain, which do not have a CCTV, but when they come back the police know. Unlike Bangkok, not a business time, this camera is dummy one or cannot use it yet, or this is not my area I cannot do it, Thai people will heard these words from government or police.

Bangkok is all around with CCTV; however, most of them are either dummy CCTV or broken CCTV. I think in terms of psychology, when people see the CCTVs, they may feel that they are in the safe place. In fact, when having faced with terrorism or even other problems—crime, robbery etc.—, Thai police have troubled investigation and searching for bad people who made citizens afflicted. I watched the morning news on TV a few days ago. Head of Thai police points out that the main problem for investigation of Bangkok explosion at Erawan shrine is troubled CCTVs in Bangkok, making the police need to use their imagination to help piece tracks of the suspected bomb planter together.
ReplyDeleteThus, I view that this situation has realized that Bangkok would need to be improved safety and security urgently and effectively.
