Watch Garda armored trucks run red lights

This footage is from red light cameras in Orlando. It’s just a tiny part of what we uncovered in our latest investigation, which found that GardaWorld, a major armored truck company, put error-prone drivers and unsafe trucks on roads all over America.

They’re probably better off with paying the fines than getting robbed millions of dollars.

[Scratchingforcash]

Sitting at red light is where they probably get robbed the most. Honestly, if there’s no traffic I don’t blame them.

[wakeboardPDX]

They would rather pay the fine than get robbed at a red light. I used to work for the company.

[manatarms]

Gotta complete those ATM's before 3pm. No matter what.

[Miller]

Let's not forget that those trucks are heavy as he'll and can't stop like a regular pickup can.

[angelsfour]

Do you run red lights? Yes
Garda: Hired. See you next week!

By far the worst company I've worked for in 9 years of doing security. They don't follow DOT Regs, they work their employees up to 17 hours, have them refill atms in the store for all to see, dealing with up to a hundred thousand BY THEMSELVES. Guy gets killed in Dallas and they still haven't changed a thing. Not to mention they don't repair their trucks. More likely you'll die from a vehicular crash than being robbed. Getting locked out due to mechanical failure is frequent and their corp side just doesn't give a damn. Such a dog shit company. Don't work for them or you'll be sorry you did.

It has nothing to do with the weight of the vehicle its so they don't get robbed in traffic they go to point a to point b and leave

[dayvonhall]

As a worker, I’m not getting robbed I’m not getting boxed in I’m not getting in any position that will cause failure to get home ….then the ATMs 😂 n banks gotta get they money before They close

[sootyjared]

...I thought this was something about the Irish police...

[masterofnow]

I’d bet this is legal or at least dismissed as long as done responsibly and without incident

[juanap]

They probably don't want to get robbed!!!!

[jjojo]

So wahat car is going to hit it and send it off the road?? NONE!!! The truck is HEAVY AF!! 😂😂😂

[yqtp]

I see them run red lights & park in emergency spaces & handicap spots all the time, I don’t blame them, they have a very risky job

[VEJ]

Bro thinks he's in gta 5 taking pics of armoured trucks 💀

[commanderstud]

Don’t knock it until you have driven armored.

[anythingandeverything]

Basic models are around 13000 pounds dry. That's with nothing in them. They are heavy.

[mireaman]

I don't think they stop for red lights

[cryohgenic]

Garda Green baby! Gotta get those ATMs done

[kenishaporsha]

People can catch and block them in easier at a red light
