    In all my years going to games I've never seen a tout arrested. One Polish lad does it and the cops arrest him and charge him

    Probably some rules preventing officials doing it

    Maybe he needed to buy the tickets first.

    What an absolutely ridiculous waste of the courts time.

    He had 12 extra tickets he was going to sell to some Polish fans. Was he even charging above face value? Doesn't appear so.

    Is there not more important things for the Garda to be doing?

    12 tickets, honestly, who cares.

    That would be between him and the Polish FA

    I believe FAI officials were caught doing something similar years ago.

    I dont condone any criminal activity. But the Garda go after someone selling a few tickets is a waste of tax payers resources. There is black market cigarettes being sold on streets in Dublin 1, openly costing the tax payers tens of thousands in lost tax revenue. But there is nothing being done about that.

    The Garda clearly went after an easy fish last night

    Or go beyond the call of duty to successfully put a murderer behind bars. Oh wait, we're supposed to pretend they never do any good, right?

    How is that going beyond the call of duty, aren't they supposed to catch murderers?

    I tell you that the campaign to get people to quit smoking is costing a lot more in lost tax revenues than the black market. You can't have it both ways.

    I used to pass the Point/O2 Arena/3 Arena on my way home from work everyday, and every night a concert was on you would have touts selling tickets with Guards on crowd duty a few yards away.

    Pretty much any concert or match I've gone to here, a tout has been present(normally a few) with Guards within ear shot. I wasn't actually aware it was illegal/actionable by the Guards until I was in my early 20's, it was so common.
