I've just read this -

The police have good intelligence regarding the conduct of FAC holders; this is not necessarily the case with members of Approved Clubs who do not possess their own FAC and clubs should remain alert to changes in these members' circumstances.

Can anyone elaborate on what they mean by "The police have good intelligence regarding the conduct of FAC holders"? If you read the rest of the paragraph, it sounds like it's "ongoing" intelligence, so the question stands - What and how are they collecting this intelligence? Are they monitoring my internet activity?

Are they monitoring my internet activity?

Probably, along with M15, the CIA, NSA, Mossad, and the FSB!!!.

I can 100% confirm that this IS the case from personal experience - was shown a page print out from a non shooting forum that I'd been a member of.
Nice to know that they have so much free time & all the vast majority of crimes committed here don't go unsolved

You missed off the People's Judean's Front.

God help us... So... if something you've searched for triggers some form of alarm on their system, they get a psychologist to look at the material and judge if you're a risk to society... I don't remember signing up for this. Is this a revelation to most here? I have nothing to hide, but it feels like an invasion of privacy...

Can you cast any more light on what they do and what they collect? Did whoever showed it to you, tell you anything else?

I did hear of someone whose SGC was revoked because of comments he made on a Facebook shotgun group.

The then Inspector & Sgt from the Firearms Dept.
It was a comment I'd posted on a WW2 forum regarding Lothian & Borders Police's then current bright idea de jour that some pump action shotguns were really Section 5 as they slam-fired....they spent about a year looking into the S.5 aspect in some detail....before it died a death.

Oh, the same Dept has money to burn on purchasing several SGC 9mm LR carbines with a view to make them run illegally so that they can ban them....the outcome of that one? "I got it to go fully auto for one shot..."(but it then jammed solid rendering the gun totally inoperable)

Yip = you cannot make this s*** up

I can half understand that, because facebook is your real name so it's easy to track people down.
