Thing is he's desperate for an fac licence. does anyone now if this will effect his chances of getting one. He's pretty wirried about it.I told him to apply and see what they say after all they can only say no cant they. He has a shotgun cert will this be taken away from him as well. Help would be great thanks........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Yes it will effect his application. If he cant be trusted with a car he will be viewed to be unworthy. Cant say wether or not he will lose his SGC though. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I don`t condone it either,being a firefighter I tend to see the end results but he may have thought after a pint he was ok and plod thought not,or he could have been **** faced and therefore should get his just deserts,I just didn`t want to pre judge him.

Enzo Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 A member of my family has a D/D conviction and gained their SGC no probs. It seemed our force, Sussex, were only interested in crimes involving violence etc. FAC different kettle of fish though. Enzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
