Child Item

Charged with offense of public intoxication

tdf7187

to such an extent as would give rise to a reasonable apprehension that you might endanger yourself or any other person in your vicinity.

For which I was...guilty, without a doubt, matter of fact he could have charged with me other stuff.

I assume it would help my case if I arranged to meet the arresting Garda to apologise for acting the eejit? Do you think if I plead guilty and pay a fine could get off with an adult caution?

Think about Trollope.

You need to start reading the classics. Have you read Dickens? Austen?

I wouldn't claim for the following to be good legal advice, or any sort of legal advice for that matter, but I read on Facebook that if you go into the court and remind the judge that you are the master and he is the servant and that you don't recognise any authority that he purports to have, that you as a free being will be allowed to leave without a mark on your record.

It must be true

If the OP has been charged it's too late for an Adult Caution.

Don't go bothering the Garda looking for a meeting to apologize anyway, they are up to their eyes in work and you'd only be bothering him further. Leave a message with him and seek the adult caution.

I used 'them' as I don't know if the OP is male or female.

You are entitled to an adult caution if you have no previous convictions and you are admitting the offence. You should chase that one up with the local Superintendent as it is important to avoid a formal conviction in court. A conviction could potentially cause diffictulty in travel and employment.

The Citizens Information Site has a useful list and its worth noting the following

https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/justice/law_enforcement/adult_cautioning_scheme.html

In deciding whether or not to issue a caution, the Gardaí must consider:

Your alleged behaviour
The surrounding circumstances
Evidence of your guilt
Your understanding of what a caution is and its significance
The public interest
The views of the victim

"Them"? Only the OP was arrested.

TheDavester

you can ask for adult caution - if you've never got one before - it would be up to the guard and their superiors to see if you can avail of one

I think the OP has had enough shots.

You should be offered an adult caution if you haven't had any previous arrests/ charges.

Depends on your previous history with them, but usually it's pay anywhere from 200 to 500 into the poor box, this usually depends of whether you, resisted arrest, were aggressive etc.

They will probably ask you to write a letter of appologies as well. So maybe if you do that before the judge asks you to, it might look a little better for your defense, you could also bring a copy of it with you to court incase the judge asks to see it or it didn't make it's way to the parties involved.

It wasn't a caution. They arrested them

mikethecop

of course you can be offered an adult caution, if you haven't already been arrested for something in the past that is .

thats sort of what its for

cj maxx

Honestly, no. It's in the system now, and he/she has to stand over their decision to arrest you. Apolise by all means it will help your case, and reduce your fine. Good character blah blah
