    Surely the kids are just on the system as a footnote about the parents? Would that not be normal enough for kids whose parent(s) have criminal records?

    Did you ever hear of someone in the Mafia complaining, over the FBI profiling them.

    Who funds that crowd?

    You know I just checked all over their website (first time ever on it, would not have a reason to be on it) and I cannot find anything about who funds them except that it says it's a registered charity ! :D :eek:

    I couldn't care less if I'm on the pulse system, I'm not a criminal and have nothing to hide and therefore have nothing to worry about, simples

    This isn't about the Mafia. It's about travellers. Innocent traveller children, being racially profiled.

    Vin really struggling with the concept of a "pun" there, on Vard/Vlad.

    So then what's the problem?

    I reiterate, it's mother is pissed off because they are on the pulse system (to which Gardai are supposedly the only ones with access and not the general public), yet she has no problem for them posing for cameras for television

    You say that, but when you're then involved in some incident -- not of your own doing, mind -- and it starts appearing in the press that "Vic Watson is known to the Gardai", "multiple GS intelligences on VW", and so on, would you still feel the same way?

    If you spend any time thinking about the various possible implications of this kind of thing it isn't simple at all.

    Sure if we are all on the pulse system then we are all known to Gardai for that matter - what's the problem?

    Is it not worrying that the details of babies are being entered onto the Pulse system, simply because they're travellers?

    I should imagine if you had a child of that age, you wouldn't like to find out s/he is on a Garda file somewhere. Is it okay if its a traveller baby?

    Haven't time to think - perhaps you can enlighten me? I dont care what information Gardai have on me as I have nothing to hide. Simples

    Couldn't care less

    The passport office and the CSO has as much information on the baby as the Pulse system.

    What's the problem?

    I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me.

    The editor of the Indo also had points cancelled.
    http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/commissioner-had-penalty-points-erased-while-on-duty-29207109.html - caught doing 83 in a 60km zone - but he was on his way to an important security meeting !!

    One law for the plebs and another for the Commissioner !!

    So, racial profiling is fine then?

    We're not. Getting clearer on the issue yet?

    While I don't want to bring the Nazi into the argument, isn't that what the unfortunate Jewish people thought in the 1930?

    Once it's against Travellers, some of them here don't care. Even Travellers being shown on tv seems to irritate people a lot.

    I don't understand people's hatred of travellers. They're the only remaining minority group, about whom people feel they can pretty much say whatever they like.

    The level of hatred is quite something as well. Many of the posters on here write up some pretty vicious stuff about Travellers.

    Never fails to amaze me how many people don't have the time to think, but have plenty of time to type. And feel that other people really need to be made aware of their... thoughts. That they haven't thought about.
