Wilky 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 They gave me one S, I was no angel either and when I got my print out, I wouldn't have give myself one as it was all for bad tempered tackle, but it was when I was younger a bit of water under the bridge and all, so go for it, I would recommend getting the print out of your previous bits n bobs, cost me a tenner from the bobby shop and my FLO said it was the best thing I could've done, because if you guess and get it wrong, they treat it as lying.

SportingShooter 0 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 It helps if you show responsibility. You may not explicitly but you are showing him you are reformed by mentioning, Wife, Kids steady job etc etc. Just a tip. If it was a long time ago and you have been clean since then I would think you stand in good stead. Regards SS Quote Link to post

Deker 3,453 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 3 Years or more in Prison and NEVER!! 3 Months to 3 years in Prison you have to wait 5 years before you can apply!! There are of course other potential problems with other crimes, particularly crimes of violence etc, even if you did not go to jail at all. Quote Link to post
karlp86 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 yeah there can be problems. i almost didn't get mine because my sister has a caution for a violent crime. i hope it works out for you mate, different forces have different policies so you might very well be lucky. atb Karl Quote Link to post
