    With the apparent rise/explosion in crime in Ireland, we need to start to thinking outside the box for ways to tackle crime

    I propose the following, anyone convicted of a crime, should be chipped with a GPS tracker (for life), and upon release from prison, be limited to movement within a set geographical area, for a time, not less that double the duration of their sentence and in addition , the more serious the crime the smaller the area they are aloud to move in. Also mandatory life (till they die) for tampering with their tracker

    This would only be applied to convicted criminals, so ordinary law abiding citizens wouldn't be affected, and would give the garda an easier way to track their usual suspects (wouldn't want them to be overworked now would we)

    think of the benfits, Limerick for example, one scumbag kills another, their trackers would automaticaly place them both at the scene of the crime, instant conviction.

    :D

    perhaps those chips could have speakers too?
    so when the peson steps into a zone their not supposed to, it screams "danger danger criminal in ur area!"

    otherwise a cheaper way, buy 2 dogs, one to mind the house the other to take with you everywhere

    What ever happened to that Community Alert innitiative from the 80's? Remember those blue stickers that towns and villages stuck on signs etc.. Seems like something like that would be a good way of clamping down on anti-social behaviour

    yup, and what ever those stickers were made out of you could support a bridge with it, they were so tough to take off!

    But yes it would be a good idea, at least it gets the community involved

    Too expensive.
    Just chop off an arm or leg.

    Or anyone convicted of a gun crime, gets their trigger fingers amputated.

    how about putting all the gangland and drug dealing scum in a big field, provide them all with weapons, fence them in and let them all kill each other off??

    too controversial??

    Alright, you heard the man!
    Pitchforks to the left, torches to the right and the hysterical and baying outraged of the society in the middle.

    Set up the Tetra Grammaton and start training Clerics, then dump em into the middle of the ganglands.

    As the prisons are more or less full to capacity........

    Why don't we round up the criminals and put them into other State institutions.....like.... The Dáil and Banks.....


    ...ohhh wait...

    :confused:

    Why don't we pile them into boats and send them to Australia or has that been done before ?

    give every scumbag a mobile phone a week before they get out,with enough credit for 1 call,and the only number they can ring is that gobsh1te RTE's jooooooe duffy.the criminal population will soon be in decline so no need to change the laws

    they done a trial run last year and it worked as expected(2nd paragraph)

    Hows about posting radical, nonsensical ideas on a forum?

    Really, is anyone going to do anything to stop us from slipping further down the sh*tter? Doubt it.

    GPS Tracker - too expensive/laborious
    Chopping off a limb - too "stone ages" (what's that religion that does this again?)

    Mobs - too vigilante.

    So I'm going to do what 100% of the law abiding populace of Ireland are going to do. B*tch and whine on about crime and do sweet FA to stop it. Oh and whine about our guards/judicial system.

    Ooooooh now that sparks an idea. Masked Vigilantism.
    SuperGoat! Or SpiderGoat. Naaaaa, it'll have to be The Dark KGoat.:cool:
    Anyone want to join up and form a Legion of Super Masked Vigilanties? No cheap KKK pillowcase hoods for costumes though, thats just too crass.

    For those who thought where was even a remote possibility I was been serious, what are you like :rolleyes:

    Victor, the job is going well, am expecting a large increase in sales as the recession deepens, (again not been serious)

    In all practicality its a plan only useful for Farmers, for tracking which band of travelers are stealing their gates :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    A tax on that should put a stop to it


    instead of jail they have to join garda
    (12weeks or such in templemore - it would be better than holiday they had in monsey)


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    heres a simple idea...forget about garda patrol or whatever bollocks it is now. Set up a website, linked to google maps if needs be, where reported crimes can be shown up on are maps. If theres any CCTV footage of the incident available then thats put up too, to see if joe public can help find the f***ers.


    More importantly, if someone is convicted of crime then their nam,e address mugshot, and previous record is put on the website. Its up on the map at their address, at the crime scene and in a searchable keyword database also. Let us know who the scumbags in our area are and what records they have.

    Other stuff: Chronic offenders are visibly tagged and people who are categorised as a danger to the public get life after three strikes. That girl might still be alive if that POS Gerald Barry was behind bars for life where he belonged

    The gardai and courts might not be too happy about it because it'll show how few crimes are solved are many **** sentences are handed down but f**k it we deserve to know.

    Oh yeah, we enshrine the right to self defence in the constitution, as opposed to the obligation to be a law abiding victim that we now have.
