reminds me of the classic 90s joke "who is this General Failure and why is he reading my drive?"

I'm not even in the army, much less a squad leader. Who exactly is this Private Parts of mine that you want to see?

I assume you heard about that from Gen. Consensus. Don't mind him, that ol' fossil's always acting like he speaks for everyone.

This is the relevant section of the article:

"Prawo Jazdy" was an alleged Polish criminal supposedly active in the Republic of Ireland. The name was listed on PULSE, a computer system used by the Garda SĆ­ochĆ”na, with at least 50 traffic violations, including speeding and parking violations, recorded across the country, but there were suspicious aspects such as each incident being associated with a different address. "Prawo Jazdy" was also listed as a name on the Fixed Charge Processing System (FCPS). An investigation was launched into this person whom the GardaĆ­ considered to be Ireland's worst traffic violator. An internal Garda memorandum in June 2007 revealed that, upon consultation with an online Polish–English bilingual dictionary, prawo jazdy was not a personal name, but instead the Polish term for 'driving licence', misidentified by Garda officers as the traffic violator's name due to the phrase being printed at the top right-hand corner of Polish driving licences (with the licensee's name and personal details printed beneath in a smaller text size). The error became public knowledge in February 2009. The GardaĆ­ received the satirical Ig Nobel Prize in literature in 2009 for the mistake, but did not attend the award ceremony. The prize was accepted by Karolina Lewestam, a Polish philosopher and writer, and a "holder of a Polish driver's licence". The situation was a source of embarrassment for the GardaĆ­. It generated discussion on issues such as cultural ignorance or institutional racism within the GardaĆ­ as a result of changing ethnic demography in Ireland due to immigration from other European Union member states. In 2013, a common format for driving licences was implemented for all newly issued documents across the European Economic Area (EEA), of which both Ireland and Poland are part.
