    Long time lurker, first time poster.

    Okay, so I was walking home from school the other day (it's about a two kilometre walk (yeah, I know)). I was just walking along, minding my own business when a Garda decides to make it his business to fcuk up my day.

    FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER he asks me for my name and address. Obviously, I'm not going to give him those. Then he decides he has the authority to take me down to the fcuking garda station FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. So, obviously, I politely say "No, thank you" and I start to walk away.

    THEN HE FCUKING THROWS ME INTO THE BACK OF HIS CAR AND I SPEND THE NEXT THREE HOURS WAITING IN THE STATION FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER.

    Please tell me I'm not crazy for thinking this is unfair.

    The boys in blue just love that... LOVE IT. Try and get a rise outta you, and then when they succeed, kick you square.

    Never, ever, get lippy with the polis, cos they will fúck you up.

    Why did you not wanna give him your details? I know you don't have to, but still, anything for a quiet life?

    You tried to act cool and aloof to a Garda, he got pissed and made your life a bit of a misery. Never screw with anyone who has power over you.

    It's not fair, but then who the hell told you life was fair???

    I agree OP, in the history of unfair things this definitely tops the list as the most unfair thing ever, displacing the former leader - Ultravox's Vienna which was kept off the number one spot by Joe Dolche. We now have a new winner.

    You may have fitted the description of someone he was looking for, and by refusing to give your name he has the power to arrest you under section 24 Criminal Justice(Public Order) Act 1994....and trust me, it almost definitely wasn't for no reason whatsoever, I can almost guarantee that you did or were doing something which either someone complained about or the garda saw, and this was his reason for stopping you in the first place, if you had given your name and address he probably would have told you to watch what you were doing, and let you on your way.

    You learned a valuable lesson today, even if you don't think you did anything wrong, give the Garda your name and address, he might be trying to eliminate you from his enquiries and by giving lip and refusing to do so, only makes him more suspicious of you.

    Gardai have the power to arrest you if you don't give your name and address, and the power to hold you until they can identify you if they suspect you of having committed a crime.

    I rather be stopped ten times for no reason than think that a pedo' or possible house breaking thief was not stopped and asked the same question once.

    Its a bit of an inconvenience but he is not personally out to get YOU, he/she is looking out for the welfare of the neighbourhood instead.
    That could be your neighbourhood too! I'd be damn grateful to actually see such checks are done to be honest.

    You have to give the Gardai your name and address if they ask for it.

    Or else they'll hoof ye into the back of teh car and fukc your day up.

    What I want to know is how come the Po-Po caught you unawares like that? Don't you have hoppers as lookouts? Where were the cries of "5-O! 5-O Yo!"?

    You need to straighten your crew out OP. Them corners don't run themselves you knows.

    Yeah that would be a laugh.


    OP you should have told the Garda that you already have a boyfriend, like in the ad on tv.

    Answer him in gaelic, its his tough sh*t if he doesn't understand.

    And if he's one of our new Chinese guards you'll be making Degsy's day.

    But in reality your probably a teen with a lot of attitude, most are.

    Next time give him what he (or she) wants and be on your way, because believe it or not our guards have better things to be doing than stopping and questioning random people.

    ...because? Because he's the man, man?

    The Gardai are here for your protection. If you treat them like idiots, they'll do likewise, and rightly so.

    Ah come on, that whole Rodney King deal was totally disproved by the 'magic baton' theory. Officer Coon, Officer Big Balls and Officer Keep Darkie Down were acquitted of all charges

    (Thank you Mr Hicks)
