    The best part of the video is when it cuts to the next one in the playlist and we see an Alsatian playing in the snow. I love Alsatians.

    Actually OP, you don't appear to be insane so I'll give you a bit more info on Freeman shíte. First google "Sovereign Citizen" and "Freeman of the land". Then read the Wikipedia link - it should be in the top 5.

    It's a hilarious movement. The basic idea is that you don't have to follow the law if you don't recognise the state's jurisdiction over you. You follow common law and contract law but not statute law for some reason.

    But, even better still, you get to make up which parts of contract law and common law that you follow. It's a bit like a catholic approach to the law. Essentially, you can choose not to recognise the state and still use its roads without its terms of use - motor/emissions tax and having a road-worthy vehicle. You can ignore the laws about drugs possession but insist on the statutes that mean you get social welfare.

    It's all mad.

    That's why, when I hear of some asṡhóle asking a member of AGS about his oath that I think he is most likely a loon/

    Do you mean oath or do you mean reading you your rights?? Why did the cops come around?

    I've no idea.

    As I said, I didn't read the OP or watch the video. I have no idea what's going on but over the years I've learned that everyone in a video asking a Gárda for his oath is a loon.

    As an aside, every time I see the word "oath", I see "OAuth". There's nothing funny about that. It's just what I see right now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭h2005


    Sorry I cant see the funny side of all this. It is pretty sad that some one asks Police if they're acting under their Oath and they don't even know what the person is talking about.

    I`ve listened to it and it sounds like he is saying oats to me so I can understand why they couldn`t understand him. The guy is a clown and the cops just ignored him. You can see even his mate thinks he`s a clown.

    So someone asking a police officer of the Irish state if they are acting under irish law and confirm that, is bull****, How is that wasting anyones time? accountability of all state organisations is surely the way to go?

    Oh ffs you`re the guy with the camera aren`t you?

    Everything in bold writing you try to dismiss is a load of ****e. Each and every member of AGS swears an oath under common law. This is their oath of office. the video I posted on this thread was from a person who recorded AGS members that seemed to forget this fundamental Oath I'll post the Oath in plain text again for you to show its importance it has in todays Irish Law...

    "I hereby solemnly and sincerely declare before God that—
    -I will faithfully discharge the duties of a member of the Garda Síochána with fairness, integrity, regard for human rights, diligence and impartiality, upholding the Constitution and the laws and according equal respect to all people,
    -while I continue to be a member, I will to the best of my skill and knowledge discharge all my duties according to law, and
    -I do not belong to, and will not while I remain a member form, belong to or subscribe to, any political party or secret society whatsoever."
    Section 16(2) allows the words "before God" to be omitted from the declaration at the request of the declarant.

    I think the law enforcement agents were so calm and collected as the people they were dealing with are mentally challenged in some way, and that the agents did not want to aggitate them.

    Did you watch video 3, its like an ad for why you should just not have one for the road.:)

    Yes but the best time to debate that is not while arresting a loon/retard/drunk.

    Why the hell didn't his decent (and sober) mate throw him off the balcony and do the rest of the country a favour? It's knobs like him that end up causing most of the problems, crying foul when they "think" they've been wronged and know the law better than the pros.

    That may be true but there's a catch...

    The "Officer of the peace" must be wearing his hat - otherwise the oath doesn't count and the drunk can perform a citizen's arrest on the Gárda.

    I didn't see the video but was the Gárda wearing his hat?

    You must mean the solemn declaration.

    So maybe those Freeman fellas (or random idiots who copy them) should ask Gardai if they are making their solemn declaration again like they did all those years before, when they were appointed as members of An Garda Siochana.

    Except that wouldn't make much sense, would it?

    Ha and sure if you need to have a ****e in a public place a Garda of the rank not lower then that of chief super nintendo (under mcmoustache magical made up trolling lunatic laws) offer up their standard issue hat for you to you poo into..

    Precisely.

    They must read the oath on one leg as you squeeze a black one out of the parting in your butt-cheeks into their standard-issue hat.

    I must correct you though: even super nintendos need to offer their helmet.

    I was drunk when you started, I'm in bits now and can barely type. It's time for a fat one and bed.

    Oíche mhaith and next time try using Irish with a Gárda instead :D.

    The video was a guy asking a member of AGS if he was "on his oath", because he didnt like the fact the Gardai were bothering them. You seem to think he was asking if the Gardai were there in an official capacity. Considering it was clear they were and the wording "on your oath", the guy mouthing off was spouting freeman nonsense t try make out the Gardai have no authority and are harassing them for the sheer hell of it rather than doing their job.

    It didn't seem like he forgot it to me, looked like he just ignored the guy with the camera. What's the story with this video anyway? Why are the Gardai there?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    I just got sent this video by a friend. The guy in it is asking some Garda do they know their Oath of Office. The Reply from the members involved is shocking to say the lest

    I hereby do solemnly swear by the oath of orifice to get back in the game.

    Asking an Irish Police Officer with "Garda" stamped on his uniform (which in my opinion answers his stupid question) if he's acting under Irish law?
    What other law would he be acting under?
    Nigerian? Cayman Islands?
