So do you think a garda phoning an informer reveals his number?

Yes, otherwise how would the informer be able to call the Garda?

I'm sure Anto keeps "Store Street Drugs Squad" stored in his Contacts - not.

while anto is going to rat out to any private number coming up on his phone.

let them tell you full details of the vehicle and drivers and see if it matches you, first. If it doesn't, you're in the clear.

If it does, then.........oh, I dunno.

smash

was anyone else driving your car at all?

Use your head Victor, it's not that hard to figure out.

TBH i think this comment is just silly


How do you think crime is solved? usually by help from the public of course unless there is some forensic evidence available.

Tell that to Dean Lyons - oh wait, you can't, he's dead. Otherwise he'd be doing life for a double murder he didn't commit, yet was 'able' to confess to in great detail. No help from the public, or forensic evidence needed. Another murder 'solved', another promotion on the way.

And don't be digging up sleeping threads!

Sleeping threads?

Gardai do ring from private numbers. Donnybrook have rang me a few times and it is always private number.

I was just trying to explain how investigations are completed.This thing of "its their job not ours" is just plain silly.

This thread was quite active when I posted so what are you talking about?

As far as i know all phone numbers from a garda station come up "unkown".

Jeez,

How many of you actually own cars? The current VRC comes with a field for your phone number.... That's how the Gardaí get your number. Failing that, your mobile phone number will usually be available from directory enquiries, unless you've specifically requested to be ex-directory. Name + address from VRC + Directory Enquiries = Caught you little dangerous driving scrote.

I think it's great having the Gardaí pull people for dangerous driving. I've done it 3 times so far on the N11 late last year and once more since Christmas. 2 convictions so far, and both of them well deserved. I have to commend the boys and girls out in Greystones and Bray for responding in each instance - They really showed their willingness to respond to reports from the public. In return, I'm more than happy to go to court on the day to support their prosecutions.

Yeah, sorry about that! Must have mixed this thread up with another one in a separate window.

as far as i know they check it on pulse for name and address then ring directory enquires to get you.

I know alot of guards do this themselves when buying their cars , they just check the reg and ring the previous owners to see what the condition was.
