Character & Fitness Question

Post by smashbash » Sat Oct 29, 2016 4:59 pm

"Have you ever been a complainant, party of witness to or otherwise involved in any civil or criminal action, proceeding or investigation?"

Can someone clarify? I'm confused about the "complainant, party of witness" part of the question? Does that mean if someone else was arrested and I was in the same living quarters that I would need to disclose, even though I did not have any part of the criminal activity/was not arrested?

No. This is talking about your literal involvement in legal proceedings, not your proximity to alleged criminals.
