I thought this would be a good one for after-hours

Apparently Gardai raided a sex shop in William St. in Dublin and seized about 65000 euros worth of sex dvds.

Now I wonder if the guards keep the dvds

tribulus

Any link?

Or reason why?

Diairist

if you bring in a haul of possibly contaminated crystal meths and if you carry many armloads of dvd's out of a shop, some of which maight be 'the sound of music' with a vile attempt at dubbing it in Czech - naturally one haul will take longer to catalogue as evidence.

I'm pretty sure some "unlucky" guard will have to watch through all of those dvds to check for illegal content.

He'll have one sore wrist after it.

Latchy

Was it an illegal unlicenced shop ? No doubt they wont all end up on the bonfire

Mena

Last raid I heard about was in Naas. The reason for the confiscation is due to the fact that the videos were not classified.

Latchy

Some garda is going to have a great time classifying them so

here's the link

And some like their tea and coffee with a car battery wired to their nipples, barbed wire on their todger and with a 18" rubber cock deep in their anus, but that just a normal weekend to probably 50% of boardsies.

Pretty sure the step up from softcore to hardcore is simply penetration shots.

Oh I know, different strokes etc., but I believe that's the definition on how you class porn, legally speaking.

No. Up until about 12 years ago the authorities enforced the law on porn using a banned list, and if you were a video rental outlet and your movie was on said list then it was deemed illegal. Generally video shops stayed ahead of the game by importing new releases which had not made said list. It was basically a cat and mouse game. Now the law has changed and basically any movie which is not classified (PG, 12, 15, 18 etc) is illegal to rent or buy. I'm not sure if the classification authority is the Irish Censor Board or the BBFC in the UK, or now run by a European organisation. But generally speaking porno movies at that time when the law changed were not classified which is the reason why video clubs in the late 80's/90's (at least the legit ones) suddenly had to stop renting these films to the public. This was an easy way to effectively ban porn and give the impression hard core porn was illegal, leaving softcore on the shelves. I know at that time when it was VHS tapes, the guards in 1 station used pass the tapes around amongst their mates Today however we have the Internet, and sex shops generally only sell movies which have been classified.

I wonder which sex shop it is....

I went to school on South William St and there's at least 4 sex shops there.
Ah, lunch times were fun!

kowloon

Anyone remember the controversy over that film 9 songs being passed by the censor? We still have a banned books list afaik.
The idea of censors makes me cringe, ministry of truth ftw!

Nichololas

I think the real question is why anyone actually pays for porn anymore.

That was a non-event, but I was surprised the film was passed and it was a landmark decision all the same.

The Censorship of Publications Board can place a prohibition order on a book which lasts 12 years. A prohibition order on a periodical can last 3, 6 or 12 months but "A second or subsequent prohibition order on a periodical is permanent"

Apparently a prohibition order kicks in once it has been announced in Iris Oifigúil (http://www.irisoifigiuil.ie/). Do a search there for "prohibition order" this is what my first result gave me(From June 2003)

(Sizzling Sex Stars)is unfit for viewing because the viewing of it would tend, by reason of the inclusion in it of obscene or indecent matter, to deprave or corrupt persons who might view it,

There is four in the January 19th 2007 Issue, with the same reason given.

On a serious note, I find it embarrassing how this piece of news would be received by other 1st world nations.

I walked up Thomas street from the city centre yesterday evening (yeah, I'm hard as nails me...) and saw three drug deals, and several junkies goofing off in full view of the general public - absolutely no attempt to hide or conceal the business. Meanwhile we're pissing away police resources raiding hand-shandy houses. I mean who are they protecting? kids know porn is free on t'internet. I'd feel a lot better if the Office of Consumer Affairs launched an investigation into the f**king price of the DVD's. You'd really need to be a wanker of every sort to pay 50 lids for a DVD you'll only ever see the first three minutes of... [End of Rant]

According to a mate, 5 sex shops were raided by the Gardai yesterday, and one will be closed down. This is a f**king disgrace - with vioent crime so high and worsening, and the Gardai have nothing better to do to than "raid" sex shops for porn DVDs? Pathetic.

Hardcore pornographhy IS completely illegal in Ireland, as the film censor refuses to classify such films. This puts us out of line with the rest of Europe and the USA in this regard. There is a major need for law reform here and Ireland is deeply, deeply backward in this regard. Policing what grown adults can and cannot view as entertainment is not a feature of a 21st century developed country.
