GARDA SOURCES SAY that ambiguity in the rules around pursuing scramblers is stopping them from being able to catch the bikes on Ireland’s streets, and instead have to focus on trying to identify the drivers afterwards. Questions have been raised in the wake of Grace’s death about how gardaí approach scramblers, and why more isn’t done to get them off the roads. However, a number of sources within An Garda Síochána said that gardaí will struggle to remove scramblers from the streets. The ability for gardaí to pursue a motorist committing a crime is governed under internal garda policy documents known as HQ Directives. Those sources we spoke to said that gardaí are observing scramblers, particularly in built-up housing estates in cities across the country.
