Why are garda allowed to get away with this bullying behaviour ?
Sounds like they were just doing their job, you seem unsure if you actually ran a red light yourself (fog) as for dob could be a few reasons but sure no big deal. As Keano would say, get over it
I am almost certain that I didnt crash the light .
Finally, why is this stupid question - your date of birth - always the first thing a gard asks when they stop you. What relevance has this or is it just a means of intimidation?
Pudds is probably one of them . How did it end - well, as I was just doing a short run, didnt have driving licence with me so must bring that to the nearest station tomorro which is not a problem. I was told I will then have to either pay the fine (she refused to tell me how much the fine was) or if I still 'refused to cooperate' then I would be called to court.
I was not cautioned most likely because I refused to give my dob. I agree its no big deal but under the circumstances this was bullying.Sorry i dont like to be bullied.
If you were not cautioned of any breach of any road traffic act and just asked to produce then it would appear that no charges will follow.
Just hope that the Garda has cleared the frustration from her mind. Zero tolerance would be fine if it is displayed in all areas, not simply for Gardai seeking brownie points and picking on those that are simple prey.
