possesion of an illegal substance, loitering and driving on a public path are all crimes.

They didn't know we had that on us but they searched us anyway.
Whats loitering

Yeah the motorbike incident was a bit of trouble. The guards were screaming at us, ye little bastards, running like hore's, scumbags and all sorts of stuff. They were very abusive to us:(
And they wonder why there called pigs.

But whats to say they "test" the Salvia and it comes back positive? I'd be slightly worried about it and at the end of the day it's the word of 3 drunk (even if you weren't they'll say you are) teenagers against 2 gardai as to what they took off you.
And if you were in a right state of mind to give them the wrong DOB why in gods name didn't you do the same for your name and address? Not that I'm condoning it or anything but in for a penny in for a pound :rolleyes:

Well it's quite easy to take a year off your DOB, I'd have struggled inventing a different name and address.

The way they spoke to us thinking it was weed(waffling on about not being able to get J1 visas and going to the US etc.) gave me the impression that it was just a warning.

Aard · 18-06-2006 04:32PM

Comes back positive for what? For illegal substances in it? Salvia is perfectly legal, and I know a place or two in town where you can get it (legally (with ID of course)). The cops could hardly lie about what was in it, because then it'd go to court, and they could just get themselves in trouble. Why would they lie anyway (other than promotion opportunities)?

Loitering = hanging about where/when you shouldn't be. You were searched because you were loitering, which looks suspicious. And they had reason to be suspicious as you did have whatever on you prior to seeing them. So stop complaining that they "searched you for no reason" or whatever.

Very abusive towards you? Here, have some sympathy.

Giblet · 18-06-2006 04:34PM

So basically, a drunk 17 year old and a bunch of his mates are messing around with a trolley, get caught with what looks like weed and only get their names taken?!

Jesus, you should try sue.

And Plug, they searched you but you did have a half ounce, but you were lucky enough to have thrown it away.

Jesus, they did well on that one I suppose, especially if you had kept it.

padi89 · 18-06-2006 04:41PM

Wouldnt worry about it.They obviously done it to put the sh1ts up you which they obviously succeded in doing seeing as you posted here.Forget about it.

My brother was rolling and my friend just copped a aluminus jacket, he looked over and saw 2 gaurds, they were about 10 yards away then they ripped us out of it and didn't find anything.

An ounce between 5 of us, what do you think:D Also a bong(a nice blue one that cost E40)could help us on our way. Though all of this talking, I would never touch heroin or lsd.

A friend of mine was arrested in Limerick a few months ago for kicking a stone accidently at a police car, he was drunk. He was in a cell for 3 hours, he still has no record.

I got my name taken from the Gardai last year when I bought drink and was walking with a few friends, had no ID, confiscated the drink, searched my friend, took everyones names.. nothing happened.

usually for drunk and disorderly they just throw you in the car and drive around the town tryin to put the ****s up ya. then they leave you off and maybe they call you the next day depends on what youve done. it takes something serious to get a recors. ive been arrested 3 times and still no record. (they get to know you though)

Like wise. Its very funny when they arrest or search you when you've done nothing wrong:D

About a year ago I was playing football with some friends, on a cul de sac where we always played, and one of my friends kicked the ball over a wall, and went to get it. While he was over the wall, the guards pulled up in a car, rolled down the windows and started doing the usual "What's the names, lads?"

This was a very appropriate time for the guy who went over the wall to kick it back over, I just saw it flying over the wall towards the car, "bollocks."
They saw that it was an accident, and started laughing about it and stuff. I don't know what my point is.

I had my name taken (notepad type thing) a few times, mostly trespassing, just hanging around in a schoolyard (at night, not perving) or sitting on a wall somewhere, nothing really comes of it.

Plug · 18-06-2006 07:44PM

they just try to frighting youngsters by taking names etc, dosen't seem to work tbh:rolleyes:

No harm in going to the station and apologising to the Garda. It won't cost you anything, and if it is taken any further most Judges really like that kinda stuff - unless you intend to contest anything. They might get some minor public order summons out, along the 'drunk and being a danger to yourself' line.

Nah, I personally did absolutely nothing wrong. I wasn't clearly drunk and therefore not a danger to myself. I had nothing to do with the trolley and I didn't have anything on me.

Don't think my friend will want to either, too small an issue really.

Savman · 18-06-2006 09:47PM

You should count yourself lucky, tragic trolley accidents are up on last years figures

Fair enough. Just hope you don't get bogged down explaining to some 71 year old Judge the difference between being drunk and 'clearly drunk'. Remember what a public order conviction will do for something like a Visa...

if thats the case all the auld ones who buy self raising flower in tescos are commiting a crime with 'possible illegal substance'

delly · 21-06-2006 10:49AM

Another good reason for taking your names would be if a house was broken into, or if some form of crime was commited around the area at that time, then they could check there notes to see if there was any reports in the area at said time.

I'm sure you were not doing anything wrong, but whats not to say 3 17 year old scumbags were hoping to rob a house and use the trolley to get the gear away?

the way they look at it is, if you take one drug, you are likely to take other (potentially illegal) drugs and they get more arrests and therefore a further step towrds promotion.

Hhmm yes I can see it now, a full team of detectives will probably run a 24 hour round-the-clock stakeout surveillance mission on the teenager who bought the €15 gram of salvia in a shopping centre in town... LOL.. right.

:rolleyes:

joebhoy1916 · 21-06-2006 02:30PM

A: Some guy said he was walking with drink when the guards took it off ya because you had no I.D well then you had nothing on ya with your name?

Well then you dont give them your name.

A guy gets arrested for kicking a stone at a cop car?

Well in that case keep your month shut they need proof to say it was you or they need you to confess! No witnesses no proof.

So moral of the story is best always keep your mouth shut.

Got my name taken by 2 Gardaí last night....
