'Priceless' - Kilkenny motorist fined for filming gardaí
An Garda Síochana took action against a motorist in Kilkenny City earlier this week
An Garda Síochana in Kilkenny have issued a €120 fine to a driver who filmed them while carrying out an operation in Kilkenny City this week.
“While we were carrying out a distracted driver operation in Kilkenny City today, our lads spoke to numerous drivers intercepted for phone use,” a post to the An Garda Síochana Facebook page read.
“During one such incident where a Garda member was carrying out his duty, a passing motorist thought it would make good material and started to film it.
“Now making movies costs money as in this case the driver was intercepted by a plainclothes member, also part of the operation. The cost? 120 Euro and 3 Penalty Points, to us. Priceless,” the post concluded.
