Why are most of the Garda in this country such f^%king pricks?

kjl · 27-05-2010 08:21AM #1

It seems to me that every time I get pulled over some some minor traffic violation the Garda who pulls me over is on some sort of over the top power trip. I was pulled over there yesterday for entering a one way street and from the way the guy was acting towards me you would think I just shot someone. He came out of his car like a raving lunatic screaming at me, I kept completely calm and asked him to lower his voice and slow down, to which he replied I was being hostile. I swear to god next time I get pulled over I'm going to record the whole thing on the sly.

I have a theory though, the only person from my school class to become a garda was the guy the entire class bullied, so I think they are all such pathetic losers that they think the only way they can get respect is forced respect. Also what kind of girl becomes a ban garda? Seriously, what girl dreams of becoming a garda when she grows up. In fact I question the sanity of anyone who becomes a Garda, there should really be a strict psychological test for anyone applying to become one.

The funniest thing is they never actually catch anyone, not once have I heard of a case where someone was robbed and they got the guy. They just inconvenience you with bullsh!t

Love to hear your opinions and stories.

Aww, what really happened to you?:pac::pac:

W.Shakes-Beer · 27-05-2010 08:27AM

Well, you basically drove down the "wrong side" of a road. He should have gave you a few cracks of his shtick!

You would get less hassle of them if you knew how to drive correctly! You sound like a serial offender TBH

Not at all, stupid sat nav drove me down the street, didnt see any sign.

Last time was because my Tax was up about a week.

If you had to deal with the cocksucker I did today you would feel exactly the same way.

bonerm · 27-05-2010 08:36AM

Probably cos they're dealing with scum all day instead of holed away in some nice little office. Same reason I reckon most busdrivers are pricks too. Automatic defence mechanism.

(anyway, nice troll. It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.)

Have you any valid reason why women wouldn't make good Gardaí?

They caught you going the wrong way down a one-way street!

No...

I'm not a moran that blindly follows a Sat nav without looking out for road signs around me...

Clearly you missed the point of that one, I'm not questioning weather they are capable, I questioning what kind of girl actually does it.

And yes they caught me, but still no leads on the scumbag who beat up the old lady 4 doors down from me.

kirving · 27-05-2010 08:41AM

Blindly following instructions from your sat nav would suggest you weren't paying attention to the road. I'm sure there were warning signs. It seems the Gard was right to give out.

Which brings up my next point, there was no sign, I went back and checked, but how do I argue that? I "tell it to the judge" according to the cop, so instead of paying a €60 fine I have to take time off from my job where I make €60 in 30 min to go down to some court room and deal with explaining to the judge why I was not in the wrong. good luck to you.

rednik · 27-05-2010 08:45AM

If it's not AGS it's the GPS. Ah the good auld blame game.

Well, if you didn't follow your sat nav the wrong way up a one-way street and taxed your car, we could spend more time looking for real criminals.

Nice to see original thread topics on AH,though.:D

TanG411 · 27-05-2010 08:46AM

Sorry, but the Gardaí are some of the nicest, most polite people I have ever come across. It is a shame they do not get enough respect. The only stories you hear about them are negative ones, which is a shame. The majority of people who deal with Gardaí do not speak out and praise them. People seem to only look out for flaws.

It should be their duty to behave harshly towards offenders. I know OP you were only pulled over for a minor violation, but the Gardaí have to do their job whether aggressive or not.

Still not answering my question, why does the cop have to be some egotistical power tripping asshole, he could have dealt with the situation a lot better than he did. Ok I made a mistake, but come on I'm not a criminal.

Tefral · 27-05-2010 08:49AM

So... let me see if i have this right, you broke the law (numerous times it seems) and you call the gardai pricks for doing their job??

Hmm....

stovelid · 27-05-2010 08:49AM

I've met some right pricks in uniform down the years - mostly at football, but to be fair, most Gardai are fine and do a hard job.

As for being hassled for minor traffic violations - the key is in the word violation. Don't break the law and you don;t get hassle. Seems simple enough to me. Being polite when you get nabbed is the best approach, to be honest.

kjl · 27-05-2010 08:52AM

It was a mistake, I didn't intentionally break the law, I wasn't aggressive with the guy and I certainly didn't deserve the way he treated me.

ordinary_girl · 27-05-2010 08:52AM

I've met some Gardaí who are really sound, and some who are not so sound. I hardly ever come into contact with them (law abiding citizen and all that) but the odd time I have been in contact with them it's usually the bean Gardaí who are quite arrogant. But, credit where credit's due, fair play to them for becoming Gardaí, no doubt it's a difficult job. I certainly couldn't do it. The hostility towards Gardaí in this country baffles me.

Maybe the few egotistical power tripping assholes keep meeting the same people who are qualified to earn 60 an hour but still can't accept when they're caught driving in the wring direction?

Shoulda maced you or tazered you IMO

You seem to be quite egotistical. I'm pretty sure that even if a garda was being mad at me I could take it without having to start a thread about it. Also you bullied someone in school and still seem to think that was ok so you sound like a bit of a 'asshole' not the guard. I'd prob treat you like shít too if I had to deal with you.

1.You entered a one way street, cop on and read the signs you could have killed someone.
2. Thats what gards dont want is someone breaking the law and then being cheeky to them.
3. He caught you.

Why are most of the Garda in this country such f^%king pricks?
