Im afraid our system is rotten from the top down.

This is the tip of the iceberg. Happening everywhere. And its not just traffic offences.

I think we have known that for many years. If you read about the quashed points scandal, 1.5 million faked breath tests and framing Maurice McCabe, you will noticed that there were no real punishments given out. Zero accountability.

No its all lies, sure there's safeguards to prevent corruption, there's the ombudsman, sure the guards are all afraid of the criminals. The guards are understaffed. There not all bad.

This is not a surprise but it's not limited to AGS either - the entire country operates on the principles of trying to "get away with" something and "ah shure it'll be grand!"

When you operate a society like that, it's no wonder that the politics, laws and enforcement of same has similarly lax attitiudes.

To clarify, I meant that its not just traffic offenses where Gardai are doing favours for people - also occurs for more serious crimes.
