undercover garda

carzony

Anyone else find this interesting?

I was reading a case were an under cover garda from the special branch arranged to buy a huge shipment of drugs from a well known drug dealer. It said the guard in question was polish and knew 4 different languages and had been sent on special courses so he could play the role effectively..

I also remember hearing of a guard who actually played the part of a homeless person and for months lived on the streets just to catch a drug dealer in the act..

I also hear they have a huge selection of under cover cars and vans ect..

Far from the ones you see stopping you for having no tax :P:P

Gardai are fantastic actor's. Our top ones act in such programmes like Love/Hate and crimewatch

Tazers are much more user friendly and less damaging to the environment

What kind of a drug dealer would a Garda catch by pretending to be homeless? A normal low level one? Nah never happened.

I remember seeing the undercover guardai drug squad drive into the Electric Picnic in a white minibus and then hop out and try to mingle...the polo shirts and square head short back and sides were a bit of a giveaway.

I've been to every Electric Picnic, and I think 2013 was the first year I wasn't accused of been an undercover Garda, although twice I was informed that I was working as security there.

It has happened at other festivals and events too. I really should start confiscating drugs or something...

Stop wearing your sheriffs badge in full view and you'll be grand.

Gardai are always undercover, funny trying to watch teenagers trying to sell fireworks to off duty gardai then having to the through the street.

Sadly this behavour is tolerated here. In any other country they would have been battoned and thrown in the back of the van.

You're trying to tell me a Garda lived on the streets for months to catch someone selling a hundred euro worth of heroin a day? LOL.

What laws did they break in the video to warrant arrest?
