Skull, you may be happy to have murderers, rapists, druggies and muggers given badges, most normal people may have concerns though
Who said anything about murderers, rapists, druggies and muggers driving taxis?
The truth is, you're a dickhead trying to justify your stupidity. You would hang yourself out to dry, and everyone else, for that matter, in some vain attempt to impress those you empower through your ignorance.
so you would advocate ignoring convictions?
More bullshit!
I never said convictions should be ignored either.
If you read my previous posts you will see I point, to the fact, there is no definition of what a "fit and proper person" actually is.

Surely, only convictions directly relating to your ability to do your job should be used to deny a licence?
Think about it, any conviction, regardless how trivial, and your licence is potentially gone.
Where’s your criteria/standards/benchmarks or precedent used for deciding what constitutes “a fit and proper person" to hold a licence?
If you have one slip-up, a breach of the peace even, because of an argument with your neighbour, and it’s, good-bye licence?
You lot must be mad. You would have to be insane to agree to CRB, checks before first finding out how they would be used, and what a “fit and proper person” is in the first place.
Deary me… thick or what?

Oh and another wee thought, how does maybe one or two minor incident's possibly years apart, establish a pattern of habitual criminal behaviour? Potentially, you could have carried thousands, if not tens of thousands of fares over many years without a problem, and then you get caught kicking the neighbour’s cat, or pi*sing at the side of the road after a night out, and you're up before the council:?

Here’s another little nugget. What is it with taxi drivers, wanting to hand their local authorities their a*s on a silver platter? When it comes to regulating their trade? I just don’t get it. Any other industry would be seeking to protect themselves from these power-mad clowns, but not the taxi trade. Nae wonder your trade is fu*ked.
