Bagsy Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 A friend wishes to get information on a conviction which occurred many moons ago for inclusion on his SGC application. Would the 'Subject Access' request to the local Police provide sufficient info given this occurred about 30 years ago? Would the records also include motoring offences or would he need to make a separate request for these to the DVLA? On a slightly different note, he owns a business with premises far more secure than most peoples personal residence and would prefer to store his gun there rather than at home as he would come and go from there (as with most with their own business he practically lives there!). Would the police consider this or can they only be stored at places of residence? Any advice much appreciated. Bagsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 "subject access requests" will only show that which the DPR requires, ie "no" - he would have to submit to a voluntary CRB check, if he was absent minded sufficiently to require the detail. SG's need to be stored "securely" and with "reasonable" efforts made to ensure they don't fall in to the hands of the unlicensed masses. There is a section for "storage of weapons" which clearly indicates that your place of domicile isn't a pre-requisite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundodger Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 If your friend has had no convictions over the last 5 years I think you will find he will be OK a lot of us Had a brush with the law When we where much younger. And we have nearly all gone up know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'd been on the meths when I wrote that, its true what I said but really the answer is much more simple.. If he puts approximate dates, the offence etc (with a note that he is unsure of the exact dates) he will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muckybear Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'd been on the meths when I wrote that, its true what I said but really the answer is much more simple.. If he puts approximate dates, the offence etc (with a note that he is unsure of the exact dates) he will be fine. i had numerous motoring offences when i was a little hot headed bear and got banned (NEVER DD) only speedin so i just put in roughly when they were i.e 04/99 to 06/02 various speed related fines and plod were fine with it but did hear of a guy who never put his convictions in (only speed again) from yester year and he had problems because plod said that could be seen as him trying to conseal them :yp: every flo sees it different my flo was with me 20 mins my m8 round the corner being a different post code got grilled for nearly 2 hours and he was squeaky clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Cheers guys, very helpful. He only has a minor offence but couldn't remember the year as it was so long ago and got a bit concerned about it. Same with the driving - relatively few offences but stretching over a very long period I'll pass your advice....cheers I hope he’ll let me practice some clay bashing in his fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
