Thai law enforcement officers have taken into custody an individual who was captured riding a personal watercraft through a flooded street in Bangkok. The incident drew attention online after footage of the ‘joyride’ circulated on social media platforms.
Police officials announced that the rider has been formally charged with the offense of causing a public nuisance. In addition to the criminal charge, authorities stated their intention to petition the court for the confiscation of the jet ski used during the incident.
Wait, they want to confiscate the jet ski? That seems like a harsh punishment for one joyride in shallow water.
This is reckless and dangerous. Flooding is serious, not an amusement park. He should be fined heavily.
