WE KNEW THAT the Gardaí were getting new cars, but we didn’t realise how hip they would be.

One of the cars, owned by a garda named Eamon, has YO on its roof. Sure, that’s because it’s his vehicle’s call sign, but what if it’s also a sign of the gardaí getting down with the yoof of today?

Either way, the force was also tickled by the YO sign, and asked people on Twitter to come up with the best caption for it.

Suggestions so far include:

Whoops!
