RSPCA access to firearms licensing information - email your chief constable
- Thread starter BASC Firearms Dept
- Start date
Let's face it, ACPO is selling access to data for profit. It is data that is collected at public expense, and then sold for gain by ACPO, which is a private limited company and itself beyond the reach of FOI legislation, just as is the RSPCA. Just as the RSPCA dress up and seemingly create an impression of being state officials in their uniforms, so does the chairman of ACPO, a retired copper who parades in a uniform giving the impression that he is a serving police officer.
You will have to write to individual chief constables, or P&CC's. They have some public accountability, but there is no P&CC above ACPO. Hence no public accountability by ACPO.

A bit concerning as the RSPCA could in turn pass the details onto others putting not only FAC / Shot Gun holders at person risk but increasing the chances of firearms falling into the hands of criminals who will know who to target.

Absolutely disgusting! I'm glad to see Wiltshire Police arnt involved, but feel for those that fall under authorities that are. When you give all your details to the Police of all people you don't expect them to sell it on!
It looks like a Data Protection Act 1998 issue.
What does the basc legal department have to say about it?.

If true this is seriously worrying.
Anybody actually read the ACPO statement.
What it states is that if any of the Non Police Prosecuting Agencies take a case to court then they notify the ACPO and pay £35 to have a PNC record created with regard to the individual being prosecuted.
Information INTO the system, nothing coming OUT. It is an update to the PNC.
NPPA are;
•Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
•Civil Aviation Authority
•Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority
•Environment Agency
•Food Standards Agency
•Gambling Commission
•Maritime and Coastguard Agency
•Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
•Middlesborough Borough Council
•OFCOM
•Office of Rail Regulation
•RSPCA
•Security Industry Authority
•Natural Resources Wales
It means that prosecutions for recordable offences are put on the PNC.

We are well aware that the RSPCA carries out vendettas. What we have here is a statement that police aid and abet these vendettas for payment. Take the hunting issue that caused such a stushie. How much did the police receive to supply information in an unjustified prosecution?
Even if found not gulity?.
If the Police prosecute you for a recordable offence and you are found not guilty that will be recorded on the PNC.
This is the nature of a recordable offence. If a NPPA prosecutes for a recordable offence there is no difference as far as the PNC is concerned.

Maybe BASC should ask for information & prosecute RSPCA officers who release grey squirrels back into the wild!
Be careful you could be sued for such an allegation
"ACPO makes its money from, amongst other things, selling information from the Police National Computer for up to £70 - even though it pays just 60 pence to access those details".

That's what CRB checks are about. What's so wrong about covering your operating costs? The staff that provide the service need paying as well as the rent.
