Here is a link to the in Ireland. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/ZZA12Y1977S1.html
If you can't be bothered reading it it basically says a Garda can search you anytime he wants if he believes you're in posession of a controlled substance. He can do the same to your car. But needs a warrant for your house.
Quote:
A member of the Garda Síochána who with reasonable cause suspects that a person is in possession in contravention of this Act of a controlled drug, may without warrant—
( a ) search the person and, if he considers it necessary for that purpose, detain the person for such time as is reasonably necessary for making the search,
( b ) search any vehicle, vessel or aircraft in which he suspects that such drug may be found and for the purpose of carrying out the search may, if he thinks fit, require the person who for the time being is in control of such vehicle, vessel or aircraft to bring it to a stop and when stopped to refrain from moving it, or in case such vehicle, vessel or aircraft is already stationary, to refrain from moving it, or
( c ) seize and detain anything found in the course of a search under this section which with such cause appears to him to be something which might be required as evidence in proceedings for an offence under this Act.
(2) Nothing in this section shall operate to prejudice any power to search, or to seize or detain property which may be exercised by a member of the Garda Síochána apart from this section.
"Reasonable cause" what the fuck does that mean. All he has to do if you ever did try to bring him up is say he had reasonable cause and make something up.
Just wanted to let all the Irish people on the site to know their rights, or lack of them, in this area.
