“The State guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate the personal rights of the citizen”. Constitution of Ireland - Bunreacht na h-Eireann, Article 40.3.1.

The wide-spread and systematic corruption of Gardaí that has been exposed in this country might lead us to believe that we should be entering a new era of accountability. No, far from it, the opposite is true. That new era began last October 2006 and continues now with the practical ongoing training and conditioning of hundreds of Gardaí at Bellanaboy, to the use of violence over the rule of law.

In that context of institutionalised Garda violence, I‘d hope that this article could go some way in empowering you to adopt the policy of:

Never cooperating with the Gardaí unless ...
1) You have been informed of a reason why they suspect you of committing an offence,
or
2) You are being assaulted by them and/or threatened with fear for your personal safety or your life. read full story / add a comment
