Evidence to take jet-ski scammers to court

In one close-up clip, you could see a thin, poorly made patch, already burst open, over a bigger hole on the jet-ski, which the victim also indicated. Was this a repair “made to burst” during normal use or easily caused to burst with a little surreptitious finger pressure from one of the thuggish scammers?
Does this scam involve poor patches over previous damage or a hole made deliberately and poorly patched so that the scam is easily run over and over again using a little fibreglass and spray-paint? We might never know, because no cases are brought to trial thanks to the Bt100,000 fee for filing a case.
In this case the compensation demanded was Bt20,000, which was negotiated down to Bt7,000. Clips from the scene showed an impoverished victim surrounded by a “threatening” crowd and with no help from the police despite one clearly identifiable officer in the background.
If the police, Tourism Authority of Thailand or Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s government are incapable of ending the jet-ski scam, caring people in Phuket should collect the money to take one of these cases to court to set an example.
Professional builders of fibreglass boats could testify about those paper-thin manipulated patches – repair work that any boating enthusiast could see on the video is dangerous. Australia Plus has the proof on tape if the victim can finance a court case.
