Traffic police ordered to unmask, start with warnings, not take bribes

Traffic police across Thailand have received official orders to maintain transparency and adopt a more lenient approach during traffic enforcement. Officers are now required to keep their faces visible at all times when engaging with motorists and must prioritize issuing warnings before escalating to progressive fines for traffic violations.

Furthermore, the directive explicitly prohibits officers from accepting bribes. These measures are intended to standardize police conduct and improve public interactions during routine traffic stops nationwide.
