It is important to note that although the Police 'policy' may have changed, the law has not. Consequently any Police officer may check the applicants licence and sign the form.

I'm WELL aware, but when I done my form they took it and signed it and kept it (not much I could do about that) and then it went to my AO who then forwarded it to the seller after the AO done their whatever.
I expected this to be the same all over the country after what has happened and am very surprised to see it is not.
Also aware of others who have had the same, so thought it was very out of character for your buyers Police stations to not do the same, which would naturally ring alarm bells.


Maca:
Our AO's used to try the same thing before this even happened, you need to talk to them and explain to them that they need to inform the people who are on duty at the watch house need to know that they are required to fill these forms out and cannot say that only the AO will.
We no longer have this issue.
