Saw this on ThaiVisaForum this morning and thought it was news worthy for all expats.
Police Stop & Search: What You Need To Know
Published by Stickboy BKK
BANGKOK: -- In light of the recent publicity Pol. Col. Chutrakul Yodmadee of Thonglor Police District has answered a few common questions being asked on social media by concerned expats and tourists regarding police stop & search procedures and what rights you have if stopped.
Reasons For Search – Looking high or acting in a manner that suggests drug consumption – Looking scared or suspicious of the police. However, sitting in a taxi or walking down the street don’t constitute a valid reason.
Legal Searches – It must be at a checkpoint with lights and signs with a ranking officer in attendance. Two or three random cops at the side of the road is not sufficient. During searches both parties should be polite.
Urine Test – These must ALL be carried out at the police station. No peeing in cups at the side of the road.
Phones – Mobiles can be seized during a search by officers who have reason to believe it contains evidence. After the search it must be handed back.
Passports – a laminated copy is acceptable, provided it shows BOTH the identification page and the visa page or entry stamp.

Police Stop & Search: What You Need To Know
Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.

In Udon, the situation of such encounters might be different.
Once You are being stopped by police without carrying Your passport or a good laminated copy of it, they might ask You for a tambun of 200 Baht - as they ran out of fuel for their car.
Once You gave them the 200 Baht requested, they might be no longer interested in following You to the hotel in which You and Your original passport are residing.
