    it wont work in Ireland!

    any how, the public order act is a joke

    it gives the Gardai two broad powers

    "The Criminalisation Of Everyday Life
    Many establishment figures expressed their doubts when the Criminal Justice (Public Order) Act was passed in 1994. Under this extraordinary set of laws, the Gardai possess wide-ranging powers of arrest, being drunk is effectively illegal, and carrying an offensive placard could get you a criminal record. We talk to three legal experts about the most worrying aspects of the law"
