Two scenarios:
A. Street vendor selling sandals with the face of the Prime Minister on one, and his deputy on the other; and the words “people died at Ratchaprasong” imprinted on both. Sandals on sale at a red shirt rally.
B. Street vendor selling CDs containing images and video of child pornography, with example images on the cover of children (advertised as being as young as seven years old) being sexually abused by adults. Disks on open display in a major tourist area in Bangkok.
Two outcomes:
No action taken because the trade is run by “influential people”.
Vendor arrested for selling merchandise which created fear and misunderstanding for the public. Bailed for 30,000 baht and facing two years in prison if found guilty.
