Hi just wondering, are the gardaí allowed to search any vehicle without cause/reason??. Mr Ney just rang me he has my jeep today and I have his car, we are both insured on each vehicle. Mr Ney had just run to the builders suppliers and had left his license in his jacket on site - gardaí didn't believe he was who he said he was as he had no ID with him. They proceeded to search the jeep as he stood by the side of the road?. I would have thought that a garda must have to suspect that the vehicle is carrying something it shouldn't be before they can search it, is this not the case? At the end of the search they found a number of letters etc in my glove box and eventually came across a statement addressed to both of us from EBS mortage. They gave him back the keys then and told him to produce insurance and license at station.
