    I agree nobody should be naming/identifying gardaí.

    If Gardai are acting inappropriately though footage should be shared without identifying them

    Just Gardai?

    This could be said about anyone, but here is the reality of it, you will not be able to stop it, once the media is shared you will not be able to stop people naming and shaming....

    There was a program on trolling and what it came down to was freedom of speech, if someone tells lies and it is written you can sue them for liable...

    The issue comes when you are not lying you are actually stating facts and still be prosecuted..... This is a slippery slope!
    Well the thread is about Gardaí and the example I originally posted about was the behaviour of the Chicago Airport police(probably not their correct title) in the United Airlines incident so yeah I'll stick to the topic

    It is still the same topic, the proposal is to protect Gardai, but this really comes down to the possible abuse of power, to have a law to protect Gardai could allow for abuse and a situation where it becomes difficult for the public to protect themselves from Gardai acting badly.

    you misunderstand . those tribunals dont have the power to prosecute some one .
    that was the political decision of the day to protect the like of Ben Dunne to Charles Haughey and Michael Lowry from prosecution

    many of those involved in the donegal incident quit or were sacked and most were high raking older gardai. these events are 20 to 30 years ago at this stage

    i wouldn't be surprised if some if not many are dead now ??

    No I don't. You're missing the point. What did tha gardai do in response to the tribunal findings was a criminal investigation launched.
