Gaurds at the door

m.j.w · 30-07-2010 06:16PM #1

Didnt know where to post this one. Gaurds called to the door the other day looking for the previous tenant of our house, they were in plain clothes and were not in a squad car. Just wondering could this be for something minor like a summons or would that have been gaurds in uniform doing that? Was all a bit wierd, i told them that id get the phone number for our landlord for them and they just walked into the house without me inviting them. One of them was an old fella and he had his shirt hanging out of his trousers, not professional at all.

Did you ask for ID?
They can't just walk into your house

'Gaurds'

Sounds like you are a professional yourself eh?

zuroph · 30-07-2010 06:21PM

Did you try stop him? sounds dodgy.

m.j.w · 30-07-2010 06:22PM

Yea they showed me the badges before they even asked if he was there, didnt really bother me that they came in, just saying it was a bit wierd. I just want to know what the previous tenant was up to. The gf is worried now that he could come back

zuroph · 30-07-2010 06:23PM

Sounds like you just put hassle on yourself by saying that you would get the number for them. It happened to my friend before gardaí just strolled into his house

m.j.w · 30-07-2010 06:34PM

After i told them he didnt live there anymore they just sorta stood there. I think they might have thought i was lying or even that I was him

zuroph · 30-07-2010 06:35PM

is he foreign or irish?

No comeback from you? You were quick enough to come in with your snidey comment. I admit i am far from the best at spelling but what has it got to do with you? People like you are the only thing I dont like about this forum

He was irish

well he is most certainly not a member of the travelling community if the gardaí are concerned about him, surely we can extrapolate that much?

Hopefully not, however when you throw mud at other professions, you may expect to get some thrown back at you.

Capice,my friend;)

Did you even read the OP he never said anything derogatory about the gardaí

sligopark · 30-07-2010 06:45PM

Not permitted to enter plain clothed or not without invite or papers

Had this myself once when I lived in Dublin also in regard to previous tenant - led to strong words, my stepping outside and closing door behind me and calling a solicitor friend of mine - during call the two chaps returned to their car and drove off

Nope, just someone with a bit of standard, who doesn't stand for people critisising others and afraid to take legitimate criticism themselves.

you know the type I refer to,I'm sure;)

Don't know what your native language is,my friend, but that is very derogatory to me.;)

Don't worry about Flutt, he's not too bright. Grammar Nazi isn't the worst of it by far with him. I vote we ban him for the shits he's put us through.

Uncle, the guy accuses the cops of not being professional, and in the TITLE of his thread has a blatant Spelling Mistake

Jeez, that's just not on.

Someone has to call the guy out on that.:rolleyes:
