Even if you’re wearing a helmet and have a license they just go, well you don’t have ownership papers so it’s still 300 baht.

“The main obstacle is that many of the Chinese that run human trafficking and scam rings in Cambodia have a lot of influence,” says Ekapop Lueangprasert, a Bangkok volunteer whose network rescues and repatriates Thai victims. “If the local Cambodian authorities hear anything about a raid from their Thai counterparts, they inform the gangs, who move the victims and confiscate their phones. Sometimes when there are raids, the rescuers find the location empty.”

Someone was making fake videos about being tortured or whatever (complete with props and fake blood and all that) in Cambodia. They were arrested and sentenced to 2 years. The crime is basically making fake news and destroying the country’s reputation.
But that’s really fast, how does Cambodia justice work, do they just arrest you and then hand down a sentence in like a couple of days?
If they’re really unlucky, they’ll be “repatriated” to China to serve their terms.

My question is, does Cambodia just impose a sentence after 3 days? Usually the wheels of justice turns a lot slower than that. Or did they make a special exception for this?
I think they just do whatever they feel like at the moment.
