Police stop-have you?

[Scotsgun]

What grief and possible paperwork? A quick certificate check and pocketbook entry, five minutes maximum.

Re-read my post Sim. I stated that the stops are usually in the early hours of the morning and in most cases the weekends, e.g. 2AM on a Saturday morning. Exactly when the firearms licensing offices are closed.

Don't forget, i was a 'plod' for some years too.

No, haven't forgot SG, but now all certificate holders are on PNC, which makes it so much simpler for these checks.

The power to stop is for a constable in uniform 163 RTA 1988 - so if the un-marked car is being driven by a uniformed officer (And most forces now use un-marked high performance cars) and you fail to stop - it is arrestable - you will also be placing your FAC at risk as a result of any conviction don't forget - failing to stop is an absolute offence.

So pull over and if the person isn't in uniform hit the gas?
