He was very drunk but the police arrested him because he wouldnt talk when questioned as he was unable to as he had too much to drink. When they searched his wallet they found the ecstasy(which he hadnt taken that night). The police were very angry that he wouldnt talk and gave him a full body search. This all occurred at Store Street Guarda Station. Dublin. Eventually he was released but they kept his phone which he had to return later that day with a passport and proof of his address. When he asked if he was being charged, they said no but the guarda gave him him his cardand he would see him after 10-pm that night. He did not return to collect his phone. Do you think he should return to collect his phone and what are the chances of him being charged.

Much the same as British law.
Im surprised they didnt try to trick him into saying the tablets were for his friends and not for him and charge him with possession with intent to supply.
I think they could charge him with possession of extasy. But if he is not an Irish citizen it probably would not be worth the effort and the Garda probably doesnt want the hassle of all the paperwork. If it were me I would want my phone back.
FYI its Garda not Guarda.
