Gardai harrasing me?

masti123

Basically every 1 or 2 weeks I get stopped and searched by the Gardai, for no reason all i'm doing is walking, they always come up with excuses as to why they're searching me eg. 'I thought you were smoking a joint' (It was a rollie), 'That field you came out of is well known for drug use' etc. What can i do/say to stop this? thanks

Stop imagining it and it shouldn't happen anymore.

Each time you are stopped, politely ask the Garda to see ID, and ask for his badge number. Keep a note of the time, date and location and badge number and after a while building this info up, bring it to the sargeant or someone else in a higher position in the local station.

...then you're in their favourite demographic for stop and hastle. Back at around your age for one or two years I had to take a long route home (ironically past the cop station) because of the constant grief from patrols on the direct way. Questions would be asked with batons drawn etc. It eases off when you get older is the only consolation I can give ye. That, and ye'll learn their habits and how to avoid them.

This is terrible advice OP.

When stopped again just say 'I know my ryfs, bruv. You ain't got nufink on me bruv'

That should work a treat.

He didn't ask ''what can I do to get more grief from the Gardai?''.

Field.

Foddering the cattle.
Shearing the sheep.
Ploughing the ground.
Admiring the nature.

The list of things to do in a field is endless.

Showing your age there Chucken baby, cattle are foddered in slatted houses, sheep are sheared in crushes, farmers don't plough fields any more, they just live off the CAP, nature is only admired on tellly.

Fields are only good for two things these days;

1) Taking shortcuts

2) Riding young wans

But its nearly spring! The cattle must be out by now? The ones down here are hardy enough, they let themselves out

As for the sheep. Sure the strip off at the end of November.

Not sure what CAP is so I'll let that one go. But where do the spuds grow if the field isn't ploughed?

As for me showing my age......I do believe its not called riding anymore

Don't you know that if you need to crap he has to give you his hat, but he can't arrest you unless he's wearing his hat?

Also, tell him you're a free man moving across the land. They'll never bother you again.

You can crap on her head. It's the law. It's a sh1t Law.

Offences against the state act my friend, section 19(1) you can lawfully punch a member of AGS in the cajones if you are under the honest belief he is masquerading as a Gard to subvert the power of the state.

suicide_circus

dundalkfc10

Record them on your phone a few times, go to the papers

Were you trying to do a house or were you disposing of a weapon in da feee-yald?

All that aside, I imagine you are a non-violent, upstanding citizen who .. de temps en temps, takes to explore Dublin's fair common grounds...in search of rare yet prized fungal forms.

Lest an officer of the law, nay state, demands your business, then you are required as a citizen to demand his business as much as he demands yours.
Failure to comply on heretofore mentioned part will most admirably result in your pardon at the behest of a magistrate.

It would, however, be wise to learn how to instruct the agent of the state that a "rollie" may not necessarily constitute what I would imagine he or she may have suspected, i.e. illegally imported tobacco and filters from Romania.

There is no law (as far as i can recall) that allows someone under the age of 16 to be "done". I can't even find the law that states Gardaí can take cigarettes off persons under 16. I'm fairly sure under-age smoking is not illegal...

As for getting stopped, you need to give more information:

- What way to do you dress?
- Have you been done before for something?
- What kind of company do you keep?
- Have you the head and haircut of a scumbag?
- Do you walk with a put-on swagger to make you look cooler?

Etc, etc. You can always write a letter to the local Super, explain your circumstances, ask why, etc.

Are you in good shape? Their probably gay and just get turned on by you and using the excuse of stopping and searching you to cop a quick feel. You should feel flattered.
