The Royal Thai Army wants Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to use his power under Section 44 of the interim constitution to order any state agency which has in possession sophisticated spying devices to declare after finding that such devices were declared just normal telecom devices to deceive the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).Matichon Online quoted an Army source as saying that the Army wants the prime minister to use Section 44 to order the declaration of such sophisticated spying devices after the previous government did not control the import of such telecom equipment for use by state agencies.The NBTC is the only regulator that permits import of telecom devices.This enabled some state agencies to import sophisticated spying devices for use and registered with the NBTC by deceiving it to believe that such devices were just normal telecom equipments.Matichon said the Army source has found that such spying devices have been used in the Department of Special Investigation, and other state agencies.The source said at present the Internal Security Operations Command is the only state agency that has procured such sophisticated spying devices legally for use.The import and procurement has to be permitted by the defence minister.The source recalled that the interruption of a demonstration of spying devices at the Special Branch Bureau revealed that these devices are so sophisticated and function better than mobile phone jammers.They can tap target mobile phone signal instantly and even tap 4G mobile phone signals.The source said now ISOC has purchased two sets of such devices for use in the South.He said it was not known how many spying devices of such quality are in use in the country as the Israeli firm didn’t give much information.What the Army was told was that not only the Israeli firm, but also a French supplier was offering to sell to some state agency.The source added that checking of the selling of spying devices was very loosely, citing the demonstration of such devices which was posted openly on the social networks.If the First Army didn’t interrupt in the demonstration, it could be held responsible for negligence of duty, Matichon quoted the Army source as saying.
