Do the Gardai Care

[Blue60]

I've plenty of Garda friends.

The morale is very low, when they bring scumbags to court they are let away with virtually everything. A lot of cops feel.there is zero point in wasting their own time to see these scumbags walk and have just switched off and are merely waiting to collect their pension after 30 years service.

Yes there are asshole coppers also, but ideally our anger should first be directed at judges who don't punish criminals and politicians who don't ensure the law is on the side of the law abiding community and penalties for criminals are harsh.

I wonder if there is pressure on the judges not to put /keep these people in prison due to lack of space and resources ? Are taxpayers prepared to take the burden here and pay for expansion of the prison system ?
