The thing I regret is that OFCOM doesn't have a character
requirement.

I think any such requirement would be struck down under UK and/or
European law. I am surprised that it still stands in the US,
perhaps it only applies to observed character traits related to use
of radio?


Nope, it can apply to non-radio related convictions, also.

A radio license is a privilege, not a right.


Does the US apply that requirement to a driving licence?

There have been cases where a license was denied due to other (non
radio) issues,,, Sexual perversion convictions, Homicide, Failure to
pay taxes.. All sorts of things.


A driver's license?

I can not give you a specific case cite, but I can give you my source,
ARRL weekly newsletter. (on at least 2 of those)

however in teh case of the dude doing 20-life.. (Homicide) What need had
he of a license, since he was not in control of a radio.

Just to clarify - he wasn't asking about a radio license. He was asking
about a driver's license being withheld.
