    You couldn’t make this shit up.Fuck me, is it any wonder nobody will engage with the cops. Fucking useless shower.

  2. For everyone saying “good” to this, so long as everyone caught breaking the law on camera was treated equally then yeah.

    The title and body of the article explain that none of the offenses reported to the Gardai were investigated and that this is was sent to the ombudsman, so this is less ‘hoisted by their own petard’ and more ‘the Gardai are harassing someone for giving them work to do’.

    That’s the thing about dash/helmet cam footage. You need to be sure it doesn’t incriminate you.

    Cyclists like to break every law going. Stay on the fucking road and stop ringing your bell at me on the FOOTpath

  5. This comment is purely being made so that snowflake cyclists can downvote it. They are having a hard time, giving them something to cheer up. Just make sure while you downvote me, you don’t cross a red light 🚨.

  6. There was very little information given about location or names. There is one nutjob that religiously cycles around Galway city in full spandex go pro covered and reporting everyone anything that he perceives to be an infraction.

    Part of me wishes that this or him.

    Unfortunately there are these type of space cadets in every large town or city.

    The case started late as the accused and his legal team insisted on walking slowly 6 a breast into the courtroom.

  8. That is a frustrating article to read. 

    Anyway nevermind, let’s laugh at the cyclist and then head off to the next thread complaining about why nothing is ever done about bad parking and people being on their phones all the time.
