Gardai raid sex shop and seize 65,000 euro worth of porn dvds

I thought this would be a good one for after-hours

Apparently Gardai raided a sex shop in William St. in Dublin and seized about 65000 euros worth of sex dvds.

Now I wonder if the guards keep the dvds

Any link?

Or reason why?

if you bring in a haul of possibly contaminated crystal meths and if you carry many armloads of dvd's out of a shop, some of which maight be 'the sound of music' with a vile attempt at dubbing it in Czech - naturally one haul will take longer to catalogue as evidence.

I'm pretty sure some "unlucky" guard will have to watch through all of those dvds to check for illegal content.

He'll have one sore wrist after it.

Was it an illegal unlicenced shop ? No doubt they wont all end up on the bonfire

Mena · 24-07-2008 10:32PM

Last raid I heard about was in Naas. The reason for the confiscation is due to the fact that the videos were not classified.

Latchy · 24-07-2008 10:40PM

Some garda is going to have a great time classifying them so

And some like their tea and coffee with a car battery wired to their nipples, barbed wire on their todger and with a 18" rubber cock deep in their anus, but that just a normal weekend to probably 50% of boardsies.

Pretty sure the step up from softcore to hardcore is simply penetration shots.

Yeah but their are people out there (particular wimmins) that would count the useless ****e of topless chicks walking down a beach with her kegs flapping around as hardcore porn.

Oh I know, different strokes etc., but I believe that's the definition on how you class porn, legally speaking.

No. Up until about 12 years ago the authorities enforced the law on porn using a banned list, and if you were a video rental outlet and your movie was on said list then it was deemed illegal. Generally video shops stayed ahead of the game by importing new releases which had not made said list. It was basically a cat and mouse game. Now the law has changed and basically any movie which is not classified (PG, 12, 15, 18 etc) is illegal to rent or buy. I'm not sure if the classification authority is the Irish Censor Board or the BBFC in the UK, or now run by a European organisation. But generally speaking porno movies at that time when the law changed were not classified which is the reason why video clubs in the late 80's/90's (at least the legit ones) suddenly had to stop renting these films to the public. This was an easy way to effectively ban porn and give the impression hard core porn was illegal, leaving softcore on the shelves. I know at that time when it was VHS tapes, the guards in 1 station used pass the tapes around amongst their mates

Today however we have the Internet, and sex shops generally only sell movies which have been classified.
