Irish police are not as well known for getting their man as the Canadian Mounties but at least this hasn't been covered up unlike some of the banking scandals! The Irish police have now solved the mystery of a Polish recidivist who notched up 50 traffic offences at different addresses and was never caught. The issue was solved after one officer noticed his name "Prawo Jazdy" wasn't a name but means driving licence in Polish.
An internal police memo, according to Irish papers on Thursday said officers taking details of Polish traffic offenders had been mistakenly assuming "Prawo Jazdy," printed in the top right corner of the driving licence, was the licence holder's name.
"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," the police memo dated June 2007 states. "It is quite embarrassing to see the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities."
A police spokesman declined to comment.
No further comment here either!!
