On transferring power of investigation from the police to the Ampher.

| There might be an investigation to transfer authority from the police to the district. The police that Bodin interviewed did not agree with this idea because the police had more expertise on the investigation. Regarding the corruption, the police said that when they get the money, it was not necessary to counterfeit the investigation. The salary was not fair and it'd never been enough for the family expenses. | Punch card
