Niiiice!
Sloppy Bangkok policemen are being ordered to wear bright pink "Hello Kitty" armbands in a uniquely Thai twist to zero tolerance anti-crime initiatives used in New York. Crime Suppression Division officers caught dropping litter, parking illegally or reporting late for work will get several days wearing the armbands, which come complete with the cute Japanese cat cartoon sitting on a pair of hearts. ... [T]he idea was based on the "broken windows" policing theory used in New York in the 1980s and 1990s.
Holding law enforcement personnel accountable for small transgressions, just as they do with ordinary citizens — what a concept!
Something tells me sheriff Joe Arpaio isn't going to make his men wear no stinkin' pink armbands, 'cause that would be an affront to, you know, their dignity.
If nothing else, though, the armband scheme sounds like a perfect plot twist for an upcoming episode of Reno 911. You heard it here first.
