Guards / summons

bbccmmss

So the guards bought me home at the weekend because I was drunk 

I didn’t receive any charge sheets and I wasn’t arrested - just bought home 

what are the chances I’ll receive a summons to go to court for this ?

The most you might get is a Fixed Charge Notice (fine) in the post.

I am already on a suspended sentence?

FishOnABike

Were there any conditions attached to the suspeded sentence that you may have breached?

Being drunk in public?

Sorry to break it to you OP, but the inevitable outcome involves a sweeping brush handle and you doing your impression of Fran from Love Hate in Mountjoy. Too late now to repent.

It’s AH so I’ll bite

Given you already have a suspended sentence, chances are you have knowledge of the workings of the criminal justice system than most of us here.

I say it’s time to pack the Vaseline

Basically just to stay out of trouble - if they only bought me home though I am assuming I wasn’t doing anything too bad to be arrested for - and sort of hoping it might go no further

Elmo didn't get his charge sheet either!

Ok so I just bit the bullet and rang the station to see if they had registered anything against me and the officer on the phone said they haven't 

He also said the team working on Sunday wouldn't be back until Saturday 

But I'm assuming they would have needed to have logged it straight away on the same day if there was going to be anything further coming from this ?

If they brought you home and you didn't spend a night or even a few hours in the cells you've likely nothing to worry about.

Best bet go in to the station and make a statement

Joking usually best to forget things with gardai and not be reminding them

I don't drink anymore myself but during the 90's a few times I was brought home for my own safety.

Back then anyhow if you were more of a danger to yourself than anyone else, they would usually just make sure you're ok.

Obviously you weren't disorderly, so they probably did you a favor. I had a habit of lying on the street and curling up and going to sleep until a corner. I loved hardship, wouldn't mind but I was never homeless. Just a drunk who wasn't agressive. Pitiful and an idiot when I took drink, more of a lover than a fighter.

I wouldn't worry about it, seriously.

Wishing you good luck with your future guy .

Or at least one of those bottles of liquid soap with the hook on the bottom so that you can hook it onto the shower knob. Can't be having it falling on the ground

Looks like you had a luck break. But more serious the Garda are not in the habit of running a taxi service. If they felt they need to run you home you were obviously doing a lot more than the average punter, so you need to out of your way to make sure you don’t come to there attention again.

at least when he/they brought you home OP; that was one or two less guards not hassling innocent civilians over something relatively trivial what happened over a year ago, eg walking past some old #rich codger's car, that he claimed was keyed - absent any proof

recent thread on it in legal forum

#most likely was rich

being drunk aint a crime, so they should have just been doing their duty, imo, in bringing you home - twud be a fecked up situation if ya got a charge out of it

Mate of mine, many years ago, tried hailing a Garda car. A mixture of drunkenness and myopia, he confused the Garda sign on top for a taxi sign. He happened to be standing at a traffic lights, and they happened to be red, so when the car stopped in front of him, he assumed his magic Joe Maxi hand worked and he hopped in the back and directed him to his gaff. He was quite confused as to why they were telling him to get the fúck out despite him waving a 20 quid note at them, insisting he was good for it.

He did not live in Raheny by any chance? A former work colleague of over 40 years ago did that!

You’ll be in prison getting the first 3 letters of your username in no time.

I’m not in Dublin but know of a couple of lads brought home by the Gardaī , one a brother , In rural Monaghan . That was 25 years ago and doubt they’d be allowed to now given they could fall , choke etc. don’t worry about a summons
