Hello Amber,
I had similar questions - so asking here than starting a new topic.
I got spoken to by police (more than 3 years ago) it was a mis-understanding but the police took my driving license details. I was not arrested or taken to police station etc. I was driving around in an area (where I never lived) looking for a cash machine when they stopped me, later found out that the area was considered rather grim and the police was on a mission to catch people. Few days later, I got a letter at home from police giving me a 'warning' that we (police) found you roaming in an area which doesn't carry a good reputation, we decided not to arrest you because you were not found doing anything wrong and no further action taken will be taken at this stage and that you should be careful in the future and abstain from wandering in that area otherwise action will be taken. Nothing happened after that - no further correspondence. I didn't respond to it, I don't have the letter anymore.
- Do home office check local police record for citizenship application?
- Should I declare this in my citizenship application and explain that it was a misunderstanding?
- Shall I make a information access request first to see what data is held about me on PNC and in local police files, and then make a judgement call if I should declare this in my application after having looked at exactly what is held about me in their records?
- I did not declare anything in my ILR/settlement application and everything went through fine. Just wondering if the checks are going to be any different? (the citizenship form seems more detailed than ILR form for details reg such things)
Please can you give your comments what you think is best in this case.
Thank u,
Hoormi
