So i finally got fingerprinted on Wednesday, and dropped off my application at the Toms River PD yesterday....After I warned thats its taking at least 2 months for the applications to go thru. The clerk asked me for the $6 for the 3 p2ps i requested. But NOT for the $5 for the initial FID?? When i asked her about this she told me that they do not collect this fee. And when i asked who does, I was told that NO ONE does????? The application clearly states that the $5 is due when turning in the application. Am i missing something? Or is this some long standing thing that i was just unaware of?

 

On another note, I have 2 disorderly persons convictions on my record, 21 and 24 years ago. Both non violent, no weapons involved or anything like that (really just being young and stupid drunk) My Police officer friends assure me I have nothing to worry about but i was wondering if anyone has been in this situation and how it worked out for you?

 

Thanx in advance for any help.

$5 made out to the chief of police.

 

I had a disorderly 20 yrs ago. Went fine.

I know someone in your town who had a similar situation. He got his stuff but was delayed by Nics when he went to purchase. He ended up getting the stuff after 3 days of NICS pending.

Your local PD is supposed to collect the $5 for the FID. If they said they don't want it and still give the ID, don't worry about it.

 

As far as the disorderly convictions go, they do not make you a prohibited person. However, your CLEO may deny based on moral character or some other BS. Then again, he may not. You would most likely win on appeal if it came to that. You may want to consider having them expunged, they could hurt you in other areas of your life, like employment.

Thanx for replying guys. I have been told that the CLEO here in Toms River is pro 2A so hopefully my long past transgressions wont hurt me. I thought they were supposed to collect the $5 too but the clerk was adamant about it. weird to say the least. But I guess at worst they can always ask me for $5 when i pick it up? A friend of mine just got his FID and 2 p2ps last week here in TR, only 31 days after being fingerprinted. So i'm hoping as long as my references dont drag their feet this will move along.
