Penalty points for alleged use of phone

    I was pulled over by a Garda who believed that I was on my mobile phone, which I was wasn't, had my hand to the side of my head. I contested it with and said I shouldn't have lied to him so I was going to receive penalty points. I phoned my service provider to get my itemised bill but they only give you out going calls. Is it worth my while to go to court and get the judge to subpoena the incoming calls.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Legends of the Boards really isn't the place to find legal advice.

    The Cuckoo's Nest, on the other hand, is staffed by the finest baristas in the business, they'll no doubt have you right as rain in a jiffy.

    I'll be the bailif!

    Cuckoo's Court is now in Session!!!

    All rise for the dishonerable Judge Sarky.

    The defendant Father Ted09 is here to contest his penalty points. Will the solicitor for the defense please make themselves known to the court.

    Court is now in session. Please make sure all phones are on silent and crying babies locked in the car.

    Does anyone have an opening statement on this matter.

    Anyone at all?

    I would like to preface these proceedings by saying that I am in a particularly foul mood today after a botched surgical procedure on my prostate. Let the record show that I will take a very dim view indeed of either prosecution or defense trying to waste my time, or making me think about water.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Let's hear it for the judge!

    Arrroooooooga Aroooooooooga The crowd goes wild!

    The prosecution calls their first witness to the stand THE ARRESTING OFFICER!!

    Dun Dun Dun

    Please approach the stand for the oath.
