Gardai chase a Ford Mondeo in Dublin.
Found a HD clip from Traffic blues season 1, still trying to find any footage from season 2 which appears to have vanished from existence :(

I just spent an hour figuring this out , 0;20 shows interior spacious and big roof nice seats @5.09 or the bridge in Bohernabreena you can see the vehicle is box shaped ala a jeep/estate/small van / from 0:20 we can decifer it has room for 5 / not a van so . during the whole video you will see the dash clocks- fuel and temp on the left/speedo middle/rpm right and the centre opening on top of dashboard , and having lived in the area at the time i can tell you it was quite an uncommon vehicle and probably used because of the camera crew . The vehicle in Question is drum roll ..................... Subaru Forester 2004 and i would say it was non turbo by how slow it was haha or had some boost issues ha . I would like to thank my family and friends for the achievement , It means so much to us all but most importantly I wanna thank God ... boooooo get off the stage hahahahaha I know Im a weirdo but I like identifying cars I wish it was my Job . Thanks and good night , mic drop

[@BigT-lz3it]

wow this is the only time u will see a Gardai car on the m50 😂😂😂 bc they never patrol it

[@spacetweek]

This must be pre-2010 as the M50 is shown still being widened. That happened from 2006-2010. Nowadays you have softly softly policing where they won't pursue suspects in case the gardai's driving puts the public in danger. But of course the suspect puts the public in danger anyway....

[@johnarat9618]

The Metropolitan Mannila Development Authority has a policy of always chasing people as much as possible, for this exact reason.

As most Irish people I grew up with the height of respect for the guards but since they have betrayed us and the country I would not help them if they were in trouble.

[@bldrxyz]

watching this, did the gardai have grounds to pull the mondeo over at the start? "smelling a clutch" and "hearing screeching" are hardly enough to suspect that car of commiting a crime. if the mondeo proved the initial pullover was illegal could the case be thrown out in court?

[@MichaelTNewell]

I'm puzzled as to why they decided to follow the car to begin with. It just showed up and smelt like burnt clutch and that's it. They weren't actually doing anything in that moment.

[@sc-mh3jj]

and what was this person hiding in the end? the charges sound like they came from the chase itself and nothing else. you fail to decisively prevent a pursuit, create a high speed car chase, putting the public at significant risk of horrific injury, trauma and death, because you "smelled the clutch and heard the brakes"? 100 km/h in residential areas (as shown by the dash cam GPS)? glad this backwards wild west style of policing is well and truly in the past 💩 innocent people have died because these kind of lads want their adrenaline rush
