    Peed off at yourself, surely? The "its not my job" argument should have no place in a decent society. You witnessed someone breaking the law repeatedly over 3 months (in this hypothetical scenario. Your neighbour doesn't give a crap abut the law and is happy to get one back on the guberment. You, as a tax payer, are being hit financially for stuff like this, why be so passive about it?


    Would you report a taxi man neighbour for smoking in his car as he pulls into his drive after his shift? Would you report your partner for driving with their front foglights on when its not foggy? Would you call the cops on a neighbour who you witnessed crossing the stopline at the top of the road before stopping? They are all illegal, some quite dangerous. Would you report this?

    In the whole of this 17 page thread all the OP has said is

    He knows a bloke who has a UK reg car for two years.

    He wants the authority's to do their job and stop him.

    For this he has been attacked repeatedly and all calls for rational thought have been booed and hissed.

    Actually, i think the op posted a little more than that. I think there have been great opinions expressed throughout.

    Nope. Does that make me a bad person? Does reporting them make me a bad person?

    Facts are still the car has not been dealt with the motive for his complaint has no relevance.

    Because of the cavalier attitude to paying tax. Where does it become OK to break the law?

    Is not paying your tax ok, but using green diesel is bad?
    Is it a UK reg car:pac:

    But anyway, have you ever broken any law? Or are you indeed perfect, only awaiting the white smoke to confirm your papal style infallibility?

    (Or did you really runaway?)

    Just interested in your perspective. You talk about 'when is breaking the law ok' I suppose I just wanted to test your theory. Seems its tax specific. I just think, in theory, we all want to be good citizens, I think we all qualify that differently.

    No its not. He also mentioned the person in question is a Nigerian asylum seeker on refugee dole.

    Seems the complaint hasnt been dealt with. But I think the motive of his complaint became interesting to boarders when he mentioned that they where on the "refugee dole". Might not be relevent but hard to ignore

    Of course it does. The ignorant racist cynical comments by the OP makes his story less credible. You don't get away with driving around with yellow plates for long. Don't believe a word of it to be honest.

    I disagree the guys car is registered or its not anything else is just smoke and mirrors.

    Racists tend to be unsavoury characters, likely to ignore the facts and truth, when they have a race based motive for their actions.

    Because his problem with the neighbour has more to it. He has a prejudicial opinion of him.

    Fair enough if he said Nigerians should be more subject to road tax or something, but the person's nationality only came into it after several pages on an unrelated point.

    Also, the OP never specified that the person was another race, only their nationality. That detail has been filled in by commenters own minds. Boom!

    Actually, the op mentioned it on the first page (I think 9th post). And yes I dont think he mentioned nationality. I did ask but he hasnt responded.

    Ooooooooh like it ;)

    Well either way black or white him being an asylum seeker on refugee dole makes me believe he would favour pre conceived ideas rather than the facts. I would stick my neck out and say the OP is absolutely seething an asylum seeker a sought asylum next door to his house.

    Iv known lot of people to be lazy, by choice or genuinely, about getting the plates done after bringing a car across. They are not long getting caught.

    I have never claimed to be perfect. I have always paid my car tax on time though. Are you not allowed to report a crime unless you have a perfect record?

    I'm actually a horse :)

    I have a far from perfect record. However, I am not reporting others for their imperfect records. You however would.

    I guess the ones you break, are ok to break so. So its a case of you reporting people for laws they break, but you breaking laws you cant easily be reported for.

    I'm actually a horse :)
    Well now at least I know you dont live next door.

    This thread has run its course.

    Noel Kinsella, if you have reported the matter to An Garda Siochana and Customs and not received what you feel is a satisfactory response, there are a number of avenues you can go down.

    Write to a more Senior rank explaining the situation or in the case of An Garda Siochana contact the GSOC.

    Thanks.
