Honestly it’s a tad misleading as the implication that this another in the long list of lads appearing in Irish courts with X hundred prior convictions. This happened in Belfast, and as a Nordie I can’t honestly remember one hearing one as bad as this.
The story is mad as fuck too; he was in Belfast to sell a puppy but “reluctantly” took an Audi in lieu of a cash payment.
I’ve always wondered how this works.
Do they just let 100 or so crimes build up and then bring him in for a day in court and knock them all out at once or is he spending his life in and out of court for one or two crimes every week?
Did he have a tough upbringing?
They need to make a movie about this lad
Isn’t that justification enough to disqualify him permanently?
“Judge like I said the last 400 times, I promise you won’t ever see me again”.
What an absolute joke.
Of course people will act the bollox if there are no consequences.
what did he need the audi for?
dodgy mf wouldnt believe a word he says.
424… that’s a hell of alot tax payers money wasted on court cases
Mad, I was worried cause I got caught with weed once, “We’ll let you off with it since it’s only a j or 2, but don’t get caught with anything else” and I’ve been avoiding Garda like the plague ever since, this motherfucker though, oh he’s fiiiine

That article is a mad read.
He was given a lift by a friend to Belfast to sell a puppy.
He took the car in lue of a cash payment.
He then did a runner from the cops because apparently mistook them for some lads that beat the shite out of him earlier in the year.
So he ended up in a crash with the cops where he was rammed off the road and both cars totalled.
>Malvern Dobbin, who has 424 previous convictions including 281 for driving offences,
Surely there was some mad long overdue point where he should have been asking some very serious questions about life choices.
We should implement a 425 strikes, you’re out policy.
That’s a suspended sentence if ever I seen 1!
Unpopular opinion – After about 50 convictions the state snipper should just make you disappear…
he was in the throes of a cannabis addiction but used to be known around the parish as “a good lad”
I don’t agree with the 3 strike rule in America but surely after 50 we need to start thinking about mandatory 10 year sentence.
Gardaí hate this one trick.
“He’s definitely turning his life around this time judge! He’s learned his lesson now”
He has almost as many convictions (425) as he does months since he turned 18 (432).
And this is just the stuff he was caught for.

He seems nice.

He had impressive records as far back as 1999 [https://www.irishtimes.com/news/driver-s-record-record-1.196639](https://www.irishtimes.com/news/driver-s-record-record-1.196639) that man will NEVER learn or change
Was the puppy ok ? fuck off like
