Gardaí myth concerning their Hats

Stiffler2

Is it true that if you have to take an urgent dump and there is a garda beside you that you can ask them for their hat which they have to supply so you can take a dump in it ??

Has anyone else ever heard of this "myth"

is it true or just a load of bollox ?

charlemont

Bollox..

Heard it. I call bo11ock5.

It's not a myth, I did it once.

However, it is worth noting that waiting for them to remove the hat is not, I repeat: not, a technicality.

And they will prosecute.

Yeah - I've heard of this before as well, could be just bollox though.
Maybe I'll ask a garda nex time I'm bursting to go in town.

Anyone here in AH got proof or know anyone that has etc etc.....

There is a Uk law I believe where if a pregnant lady needs to pee she can ask a policeman for his hat (this applies to the old school hard bobby style hats I think )

It's bull.
But as far as I know, it is illegal to take a piss in public, but it is not illegal to take a dump. Something to do with the adverse health conditions that can occur from preventing someone pooing.

celticcrash

Its all true. go for it.

fishy fishy

SH*THEAD :D

ColeTrain

Sounds legit.

GetWithIt

The way I heard it, if you were caught taking a piss your best option was to drag the caks and go for a ****.

Holding back on taking a **** is considered a health issue.

I figured it was a rumor started just to see if someone would actually do it and to observe the hilarious fallout.

Why would anyone want to take a dump in a Garda's cap?

Far too many of them are complete shitheads as it is.:D:D:D

The myth was and is that if a lady is caught short and has to use the bathroom a member of an garda shiocana or The Filth for the terms of this post must shelter the lady while she relieves herself in public.

When we were kids we saw an old woman ask the local plod for such a favour. He refused. Anout ten mins later we were in the shop getting our fix of sugar and lo and behold there she was.......................standing in a pool of piss and what looked like a neverending brown slug running down her leg and onto the floor. Fooking horrific stuff altogether.

Apparently back in the day of black and white telly, turf fires and low crime rates the plod would oblige such a favour. Cant be done these days or they may as well set up camp outside coppers!!

I suppose you could just do it. Lots of that carry on going on here.

No it's a load of sh!t.

Surprisingly, it's true. It's also true that you can ask the Gardai, if required, for a lift home on the basis that you're afraid for your personal safety and have no money.
Thus you can have both a personal toilet and be taxied home for free.

You should definitely try this next time you're out at night, looking to get home.

I think the actual law is that a pregnant woman can legally take a piss wherever she wants. So I suppose PC Plod's helmet is fair game.

Aye, mothers can be so embarrassing some times.

They'll hand over the hat no problem. Deffo not a myth.

Plazaman

Also if a Badger is biting your kneecap and there's a Garda beside you (as there always would be in that situation) they are obliged to beat the Badger to death with their baton, wrap him in brown grease paper and present him to you in their hat with a farthing and a bottle of Syrup of Figs as compensation for letting him get to your knee in the first place.

I call shenangins on this though as Syrup of Figs in not on sale any more.

You can also blow your nose into their wallets and puke down thier pants. The pigs are a one-stop human waste shop.

Ye - pissing in public thread reminded me of this myth concerning Garda Hats so I thought I'd take it to AH for answers.

cocoshovel

Why did you even need to ask that question? Fúck.

Gummy Panda

If you pick up a good looking ban Garda in coppers, she ride ya with her on top while wearing her hat.

44leto

Yeah its true, then the guard has to put it back on his head.

Did you get any?

Neyite

Back some years ago when the pubs had to close for part of the Sunday, there was a crowd staying put to watch the All Ireland final. Next thing a Garda walked in and the whole place froze, with the bar staff still serving.

The bar manager asked the Garda to remove his hat so the people could see the telly and offered to put it in the back room for him for safekeeping, which the Garda was happy to oblige. The conventional wisdom of the day being that the Garda couldnt arrest anyone without himself being in full uniform. And with his hat gone, he couldnt arrest anyone for drinking or serving drink outside of licensing hours.

Not sure how "legal" any of that was though...

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Its not as common as the myth that a garda can't arrest you if he's not wearing his hat. Absolute nonsense. Why would such a law exist? All you have to do is knock off his hat and then voila you're free! Bull****.

Oh how I lol'd


however it seems to be maybe legit, I'm happy others have just heard of it tbh

There's more chance of the Guard unscrewing your head to sh1t down your neck, than him letting you get to grips with his hat.

the keen edge

Shitting into a Gardai hat.

Whatever's next?.
Puking into a Firemans trousers. **** off into an Ambulance diesel tank. Fisting a Order of Malta volunteer.

Where will it end?

Au contraire Rodney, Au contraire !


Get yourself down to Boots and, eh, fill yer boots.

The rest of you post is entirely true of course !

O.P.; It's like a lot of ideas in your mind .

funnilenough

so then illegal dumping would no longer be a offence in a court of law?
