The immigration police have arrested an American pedophile in Phuket and a female robber in Bangkok. They do not do much to catch this people they just wait to the want to make a new visa and then they arrest them. If you are wanted and are in Thailand make sure you not ask for a new visa and avoid being arrested.
It is not like they go looking for people they are to lazy to do that. Maybe if you point out the address and give them a bag of money they will stray away from the TV and go for an hour or so.
95 percent of all criminals I seen arrested in Thailand are trying to get a new visa. You do not need a visa stay over and just live happy. Do not go to rural areas stay in Bangkok it tourist places it’s safer.
But best of all if you are a criminal do not come to Thailand at all we had enough of people giving us farang living here a bad name. Try Costa Rica or China or something how can find you in a village in China?
