ronttuk Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Last night i had an alticaton with my ex girlfriend,her car got dented somehow in the argument and she called the police she says i kicked her car and i was arrested for crimminal damage,although no charges have been made against me yet as i said i didnt kick her car she slammed the door open on me. im awaiting a CPS decision, if they do charge me and i get found guilty which i think is unlikely as there was a witness would i lose my fac and shotty cert ??

Cranfield Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Like many things, it will depend on where you live, your previous record (if any), what they eventually charge you with and whether you are found guilty , or not. If you are charged, contact the BASC for their advice (assuming you are a member). I do know people with SGC's and FAC's who have previous convictions for offences, far more serious than criminal damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Without any witnesses they will probably not take any action. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyL herts Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 First thing is don't panic about this. The police are really interested in your firearms ticket if you started coming to their attention due to cases of theft or violence and that may have a bearing on any renewal issues and would depend on the circumstances etc. If this is the first time you have come to their attention I wouldn't worry about it, these things happen. If they do charge you like has been said by others get some legal advice. If you are of previous good character it will either be No Further Actioned or may end up in a caution. I suspect the value of any damage is minor ( less than £500 ) unless she has a top brand red sports car! Just my two pence worth. Hope it all works out.

Graham M Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 It’s a pity you don’t have a nice bruise where she slammed the door into you. A case of assault if ever there was one. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 If its your word against hers and the damage is small, no serious injury to any person, then I would bet my house on the fact they won't charge you with anything. Interestingly there was a recent post by dazziboi which is kind of well timed, if you are asked to "accept" a caution, I would take legal advice, you don't have to and if they want to deal with it like that its likely they don't have anything substantial or they would charge you with criminal damage.

Nildes Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Last night i had an alticaton with my ex girlfriend,her car got dented somehow in the argument and she called the police she says i kicked her car and i was arrested for crimminal damage,although no charges have been made against me yet as i said i didnt kick her car she slammed the door open on me. im awaiting a CPS decision, if they do charge me and i get found guilty which i think is unlikely as there was a witness would i lose my fac and shotty cert ?? The police will only go forward if she decides to continue to press charges and the CPS decides that there is a good chance of getting a conviction if the case goes forward. A lot depends on how things stand now between you and her. Make it up if you can Just don't put anything in writing or onto an ansafone that might be used against you. Flowers? What have you got to lose? Well, there's the firearms............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peck Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 during any questioning that may take place with the police, DO NOT assume that the police officers dealing with the case know you have a FAC, do not mention it at all unless they bring it up. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I'm no expert, but if there is a witness saying the same as you then I should think you will be ok as long as you are not known to get violent. As you have a FAC already, you must be fairly well mannered I'm assuming? Don't worry too much, it sounds like a minor misunderstanding that may get you told off by the FEO if you're unlucky. Good luck anyway though, just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well, I've just applied for my SGC - the FEO came round yesterday and went through licencing conditions with me. From what he explained to me, and given your lack of any previous 'history', the nature of the incident, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Good luck.

Best of luck mate! As I understand it a caution has to be declared much the same as a criminal record so dont accept one unless advised to by solicitor (free advice from CAB) and there is no way the CPS will take it further unless they have a 110% prospect of gaining a conviction, try not to worry too much and best of luck.
