Woman drops trou - sues state.

So a woman was visiting her husband in Castlrea prison, due to what I imagine was a mix up in communication, proceeds to pull down her jeans and knickers while going through the metal detector. She is now suing the state for damages due to embarrassment.

It is indeed fortunate for her that stupidity is not a crime or she may very well have been joining her husband in prison.

Hope she's hired some good briefs.

It's a bizarre story

Boom_Bap · 23-04-2015 12:32PM

She should be taking the underwear manufacturer to court.

I'd be more embarrassed at being married to a criminal tbh.

This is a highly confusing story. The prison asked her to take off her jeans and I read in another article that her underwear accidentally came off.

It'll fall down in court

The way I interpreted it from a couple of different sources was that she put her bits and bobs in the tray for the x-ray, pointed to the metal studs in her jeans to ask if they would be a problem. Prison guard said no, she interpreted it as a 'yes', and dropped trousers, accidentally taking knickers with them in the process.

How this could be anybody's fault but her own is beyond me.

she is a foreigner and was never down leeson street in the good times when all the ladies dropped their knickers at every opportunity.

In fairness, inferring she was 'crazy' and that she was doing a 'striptease' was completely inappropriate and unprofessional and so she is dead right to sue them. The bafoon might choose his words a little more carefully given similar circumstances in the future.

Bits and bobs in a tray, you say? I'd pay to see that.

Prison officer said he asked her to take off her shoes. He denied asking her to take off her jeans.

I read in the article I mentioned that they stayed off for a short period of time. So you have to wonder, did she just stand there, pants and knickers on the ground? For a few minutes.

Were those leaked episodes of GoT that you illegally downloaded any good?

When she bent over, they found 30 pounds of crack!

Butthurt woman sues state for own stupidity. Seriously why cant cases like this be weeded out before they get to court. Nothing but money for the lawyers.

Because Courts are the forum to weed things out.

If you would like to add yet another tier of bureacracy and more work, lawyers would be very grateful indeed.

Those poor prison guards, they should be suing her...

shy-tall-knight · 23-04-2015 01:21PM

Ambulance chasing, compo culture. The judge should throw it out.

Cienciano · 23-04-2015 01:24PM

Judge will probably award her €10k.

Should fine her 10k for public indecency

myshirt · 23-04-2015 01:32PM

I would not be surprised if they did ask her to drop her pants, can personally vouch for a few strange and verbose experiences with prison officers over the years. Nevertheless, let's see it flesh out. In the meantime, cannot stopped thinkibg about this video http://youtu.be/oqolwZoj8RA

I wouldn't believe a word any prison officer says. I have a friend who's from Romania. He's lived here since he started secondary school. He was driving to work about a month ago when he was pulled over by gaurds, he was told he had to go to the barracks to have his car searched. My friend didn't know why but agreed to go. When he got there he was asked to come into the station for questioning while his car was searched. When he was in the station they told him to strip while they searched him.
They were accusing him of being a drug dealer and one of them was saying 'I hate roma scumbags like you' 'why don't you **** off back to the ****hole you came from' and stuff like that. He was humiliated, when he got back to his car it was in a mess. Stuff thrown everywhere, seat covers ripped. He realised later that they went through his phone which he'd left in his car. He went to his solicitor and is going to make a complaint. No doubt those scumbags who did this to him will deny it all. Worse, people like we see on this thread will believe them because they don't know what the gardaí and prison officers are like in this state.

You do know prison officers and Gardai are different, do you?

Complains about prison officers.
Proceeds to tell a story that has bugger all to do with prison officers.

PeteFalk78 · 23-04-2015 02:00PM

Nope..

She concedes that she her underwear came down partially due to her own error and had security just said something along the lines of: Sorry, you've misunderstood, you only need to remove.. then there would be no case, as then any embarrassment that she felt would have been 100% her own doing.

However, that is not the case here, as BUT FOR (which is the point of law primarily called on in such cases) the inappropriate response to the woman's error, she would not have felt so embarrassed and humiliated. Asking her was she crazy and instructing her not to do a striptease, when others were present is what resulted in that.
