Police chiefs in the Thai capital, Bangkok, have come up with a new way of punishing officers who break the rules - an eye-catching Hello Kitty armband.

The armband is large, bright pink and has a Hello Kitty motif with two hearts embroidered on it.

From today, officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear it for several days.

The armband is designed to shame the wearer, police officials said.

3. That would be great!

Except not for tardiness or some such, but if you have ever been placed on desk duty during an investigation, then you wear the band.

7. That's a really unique and creative idea. I look forward to see if it works.

Seriously, even for more serious cop transgressions. Could you imagine making the dress progressively more meek for increasingly unethical behaviours? I wonder how bad an offense it would have to be to warrant a pick leotard and a pink, net tutu.

Because ego is such a part of the problems cops put themselves in, I could see this type of humbling response being useful.

8. These guys must have done something serious
