judge makes teenager stand in town centre with sign

pcwares

Have you read that judgement that was handed out by a judge in the west recently. The young lad was caught urinating in a public place and the judge gave him the customary drunk and disorderly charge and made him wear a sign apologising for it in the main street.

tough justice. - record and now the village idiot -

I know a bloke who had to do this on O' Connell Street about 8 years ago.

And a Garda has to stand there with him and make sure he does it.

That's a great use of state resources... well done Judge!

Also... he never stipulated what size the sign had to be either.

Serves him right, but still: Christmas!!!! Ja!

In fairness there are absolutely no public toilets in this city. Some people could probably be a bit more descrete about the whole public urination thing though.

And Dub13, are you talking about the guy who pissed on an ATM? That was pretty obnoxious.

Haha!

He certainly would learn a lesson and be more public than a small section of the courts section in the local newspaper!

Yeah.. the first time I heard about one of these silly punishments was because the guy used an ATM as a toilet. Would have been about 8 or so years ago too.

Ha.. I'm glad you keep better company than that... just regular public urination isn't too bad.

im always try at least a couple of times every few months to go into easons and try and pick up a copy of the munster express to see the court pages for waterford. Absoulutlely hilarious stuff that goes on....i may post some of these later.

ive been to court a few times (educational) and most of the time the courtroom and judge were in stitches. The gardai showed no sign of decorum - standing around like school kids yapping and giggling.

this reminds me of die hard, where willis has to wear a big sign thats offensive to black people, right in the middle of harlem

The Four Courts are much more serious and sombre though. I went with my Legal Studies class in the summer and we made a sign saying "Guilty" on one side and "Innocent" on the other which we thought we should hold up like the green peppers and red tomatos on ready steady cook to vote on whether the accused was guilty or innocent. We got given out to so much :P Luckily Neither the Jury nor the Judge saw it.

pcwares

ready steady cook - thats deadly, i might engage my legal studies class to do the same in the coming year. Who admonished you for doing it ?Your lecs or court attendents etc.

It's currently under appeal so he hasn't had to wear any sign yet. It was in Co Cavan, not the "West". What media source has given you this incorrect info ??!!!!

pcwares

just remembered a snippet of it - cannot recall where.

soffy if i offended your sensibilities

faceman

Wow, what a knobhead judge. Surely thats a breach of some human rights? Anyway irregardless its hardly going to make him not want to do it again. Give him 5 years!

pcwares

judges can basically do what they please and can direct a jury if required.

the_syco

Dude, piss in a side street. Or at least look both ways if pissing in the middle of the road:D

No offence taken - I'm only passing the time.
