Gardaí keep getting the wrong house.

Agree with paulzx.

Go straight to the organ grinder in cases like this.

Probably is a good time to remind everyone it's nice to be nice. To an extent, posters have to be taken at face value, so lets not get too annoyed with each other.

Now, I've told him to take it up with the station superintendant by registered letter, asking for a reply and a meeting with the super, at my friend's convenience, to clear this up for once and for all. It was fairly suspicious the way the Garda changed tack as soon as the GSOC was mentioned, I have to say.

So, how would I find out either the phone number, or indeed the Super's name, in that station where the Garda is based?Thanks.

Des,

The above paragraph is probably the best option to get this cleared up. I appreciate it is very frustrating for your buddy and having Gardai calling to the premises so regularly draws unwanted attention to your buddy from the neighbours etc.

As fast as the Gardai can flag up an address as a Prom/Nom they can just as fast flag it down.

Also check if your buddy is registered to that address through the local authority. If the perp prior to him is still registered then have it ammended so when a voters ceck is done it will only show your buddy as the resident. I'm sure the officers are not deliberately doing this to your buddy. They have a proceedure to follow which could be resolved with your buddy meeting the Super.

Hope that helps.

I don't know if it keeps a history of addresses which you can view

There is at least some record of past address. A garda with a witness summons went to my old address when he couldn't find me at my current address - of course if he phoned me.

As for the other comments here, Metman is entitled to an opinion and I agree with his suspicion. Isnt it one of the oldest jokes in the book? Something being 'for a friend'? He is a longtime user of this area within Boards and carries a lot more weight than all the people posting purely to attack him that have no other business here. In fact I think this thread is in need of some spring cleaning to remove all the non topic mud slinging.

Karl cheers for that mate.

I do however want to apologise for being a bit too skeptical and dismissive towards Des. A few too many beers didn't help either. Apologies Des, and to any others who were offended by my dismissive and unhelpful comments (i.e big mouth).

To be honest, you didn't sound like your usual self. We all have days like that though.

What's the penalty around here for PWI?

PWI?

Posting with intent.

metman

Thanks for that Des. Can you clarify what 'posting with intent is'?

Well, it was a guess tbh.

No worries Des, Esel, maybe you could assist with your last?

Cheers mate. Not spending all my time on chat forums I don't know these things.

Esel if you want to know why I'd had a few beers and was a less social than usual, sorry PWI, then please feel free to pm me.

Eru

I stand by everything I said, users came in, attacked regular users here then left. No comments on the subject and no other posts in this area.

Only one person here who posted in response to me even acknowledged that I had extensively and completely answered the OPs question.

BTW he wont get near the Supers office.

CLADA

+1.

The OP could have asked his question in a couple of sentences, instead we were treated to a whinge interlaced with provocative language.

Q. How do you contact you're local Superintendent?

A. With about half the effort it took to contact GSOC.

Esel

Deadwood nailed it. Posting While Intoxicated! Made it up on the fly, thought it was a fair TLA, close to the American DWI/DUI. I'm sure I'm not the first one to 'think of' PWI though, so I probably didn't invent it.

I can claim credit for a good stab at a Dublin term for online pron, though - e-g**!

carradonna

I think a quick letter to the local inspector/superintendent would sort out the problem. I can see why gardai treat answers of he/she doesnt live here with a bit of suspicion because i'm sure some shady people use this tactic so summons are not served allowing them get off with crimes.
I can imagine that it is very frustarting having guards calling to the door on a regular basis but i wouldnt imagine they are doing it maliciously.

tbh

des any update on this? Did your mate have any joy?
