He told one man who challenged him that he would make his life a misery by getting his vehicle stopped at every checkpoint.
A Garda from Kilcock has been sentenced to three years in prison for corruption and deception offences.
Joseph Doyle, with an address at The Hawthorns, Kilcock, pleaded guilty to 29 sample charges on the third day of his trial last month.
He was charged with 89 offences of deception, corruption and money laundering between 2018 and 2020.
While serving as a public service vehicle inspector, Doyle charged Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operators €25 for unnecessary brake tests and requested €60 payments for school bus licenses.
When confronted, Doyle threatened victims.
Victims reported feeling deceived and bullied, with their trust in the Gardaí damaged.
He told one man who challenged him that he would make his life a misery by getting his vehicle stopped at every checkpoint.
He also solicited charitable donations for fictitious causes, collecting money in cash and cheques payable to himself or his wife.
Some of the fake causes included a fundraising sky dive and donations for a sick child.
Doyle was given a sentence of three and half years, with the final six months suspended, for the corruption charges and three years for the deception charges to run concurrently.
