In their never-ending quest to rid the streets of those suspected of either engaging or preparing to commit crimes and as they attempt to improve the image of Pattaya in preparation for a High Season which is expected to attract more families than ever before, Pattaya Police rounded-up 40 transsexuals who were caught roaming the streets in and around the South Pattaya entertainment zone in the early hours of Saturday. The Police have identified these wandering transsexuals as the key group of potential trouble-makers and will now remove them from the streets of Pattaya on a nightly basis until they are forced to either stop what they are doing, or to relocate, which is the more likely option. Laws dictate that unless evidence is collated which proves they are involved in prostitution or other criminal acts they can only be fined for loitering which is what they were charged for on Saturday morning. 100 Baht fines were paid by each transsexual who was then released with a stern warning not to be seen in the area again. Unless tougher regulations are imposed on loiterers and those suspected of involvement in criminal activities then the Police know the suspects will simply return to where they were picked-up from and continue what they were doing prior to their arrest.
