Not a bad idea.You never know what they might find.
Sure to put the wind up a few of those urban farmers as well.

Funny how the judge could see the purple jaw and burst lip on the Tuesday and know what went on

The guards couldn't figure this out though

Can I chose to not open the door to them? Its my house, I can decide who I get off the couch for when the bell rings. When I see reps or people with bibles I don't get up. If its a garda saying "hi" well I don't really see the point.

I haven't seen an actual real life garda in about 2 years. I have seen them on the television though. I'm kind of excited.

will they sporting a black n tan uniform?

B. a hysterical hyperventilating individual complete with everything she was allowed to collect in two penneys bags might be an indication that something bAd had happened

It's the indication of an argument not anything illegal which is what the guards do - uphold the law. The law is an ass sometimes.

I have had no doorbell for about 10 years now, never had one in the house. If I move house I will remove it, no need for them in this day & age.

This garda visit seems a waste of time, it will be all fake smiles and fake chit chat & fake concern, like the election canvassing cunts. All chat and then fuck off with no interest in what you have to say.

Last time I went into a garda station with a genuine complaint about dangerous and illegal acitivities they had zero interest in what i had to say, not even a feigned interest or concern. I have emailed them on a few occasions and got absolutely no response too.

I would rather see them enforcing the numerous laws they stick their head in the sand about.

There is not even a direct email where you know your issue will be looked at by someone who is actually trained in law, and be formally responded to. Many of the gardai on the street are clueless gobshites and are known to invent laws on the spot, I don't mind if they admit they are ignorant, its not even checking stuff that is unforgiveable. Many would be scared to challenge or question them in any way, since the handy "public order" offence can be lashed out with ridiculous ease.

Can see where they are coming from.

But this is some waste of Garda time & resources. There is limited Garda visual presence on the streets as it is. Now they are spending all day going house to house for a general chit-chat.

The ones based in the country will be poisoned from tea.

The town I live in is riddled with drugs and skangers. I'd rather the Gardaí be left to clamp down on those things than being forced to come around talking to the likes of me. They've got no interest in me and I've got no interest in them. Let them get on with their jobs I say, tough enough without having to go around to 10,000 houses talking to everyone.

Well if the guards had taken fingerprints from the 'evidence' they took from my car, they might have found out who it was. Anyway, see the other thread about being a vigilante. I took matters into my own hands, and none of my cars have been broken into since.

And you're 100% positive that they got usable fingerprints yeah? Because i believe that this is another misconception brought about by CSI and Law and Order and the ilk. A surface needs to be like glass before a print can be lifted. Just because it looks like you could get a print off something, doesn't mean you will.

And who said anything about being a vigilante?

After a fella was shot down our way they sent a garda around to every door, it was nothing more than a fishing excercise. Wanted to know who was living in the house, mobile numbers etc.

That's called house to house inquiries, and is common in major crimes.

A surface needs to be like glass? Like all the cd's they took from my car?
As for being 100% positive, I wouldn't know, seeing as they haven't bothered their hole coming back to let me know in the last 5 years.

Of course. But the gardai are there to help you, the other people you don't answer the door to aren't. Can't do any harm to say hello.

They're there to help. You clearly have never reported a crime!

I have and they've been very helpful.

But then the world doesn't revolve around NipNip or Valetta.

I suspect where they're making those calls from may be a bit outside of the Gardai jurisdiction.

None of these calls will be made, PR at its best (worst)

Yes, like the CD's, but again no guarantee that there was a useful print. With the introduction of AFIS a few years back it's making detections easier, but criminals are also copping on and using gloves.

Also, and i think the Gardaí should have contacted you back, but did you contact them? It's not uncommon to hear nothing back if nothing was found, and with the amount of calls they attend it can be easy to forget to get back to someone, which is why the injured party should also be taking an active interest in the case and looking to make contact if they haven't received any. And if you have attempted to make contact, then GSOC are there for you if you still feel miffed about it.

As said, I sorted it out myself.

Good man, take the law into your own hands. I'm leaving it at that.
