Irish law on home search warrants

They took away our laptop's, and whatever else, cheeky pricks, I was alone as my two apartment friends were out. The head garda nearly ran over me when .making his way Into the apartment I walked after him saying what are you at, he told me to sit. That was in the sitting room, I said I want to call a solicitor, he said have you a phone which I replied no, my friend took it with him, I asked him again could I make a call to my solicitor, he asked me who my solicitor was, when I told him he said no. Which I retorted I can make the call from next door neighbour, he ignored me. Later he placed me in a bedroom with another garda. He came in around 1 hour later, I was frightened and upset , I just had a treble bypass, which I told him earlier..noway he shoved a piece of paper in front of me and told me to sign it..which I did hurriedly. He left the bedroom, 5 minutes later I heard no noise, they had gone, leaving my front door open. Didn't even close the door. I was a hostage in my own room. Afraid to even ask to go to the toilet. Now I know why gardai ain't too popular.

I really ain't got a clue of what they took as I was held hostage in my bedroom of the apartment with a garda present. Hostage in my own apartment. I have never been in trouble with the law a my life. He earlier refused me a phone call to my solicitor. He did ask me who was my solicitor, when I told him he said no , I said I can make it from my neighbours next door, I wasn't under arrest, he still said no. !!?

My name.and my two friends that share the apartment names he said was on the warrant so he said, I tried to read it but my eyes Were not the best since the operation so I asked him to read it, I couldn't understand what he said to tell you the truth. He said drugs lol. No bloody way. He see.ed to have his eye on the 3 laptops though. I am still in shock. Absolutely seems to be no boundaries to their power. Googled their search powers. Only thing that I came up with was that they shouldn't confined me to any room in my apartment, but hey I was the only witness.

A reason for me being confined to my room, or that I wasn't allowed call a solicitor, or that they were searching for drugs or that they left without informing me and leaving my front door open. !!!!

Congratulations. Hope you have a great Career.

Well if they had found anything they would have taken me to the police station. Joe Duffy??? Who is he.. ?

Old age pensioners don't coach pro football. At least I don't know one. Thanks for reminding me of my heart meds. Ps. The first heart surgery I had was when I was 8years old.

Yes..he borrowed my phone as he needed it. Maybe that was suspicious to you. But that ain't grounds for the garda acting like gestapo.

Ah that Joe Duffy. Lol. Thanks anyway.

Yes he said drugs. No way.

Yes. Thing is he never showed me a list of what he took. Thanks again.

OK.

So pray tell. What do you find strange. The behaviour of the garda, because I found it unbelievable also. I'd be thinking like you also a few days ago. Very Strange until it happens to you or someone close to you. Unbelievable I'd say.
