It will also be six weeks since getting charged with possession and I've not had a summons yet. Not knowing if/when it will come is a bit of a drag.
Do criminal records expire?
Apart from reliably sending me off to sleep I cant really see that Id use etiz recreationally unless it mixes with a few cans of lager. ( dont try this at home folks)
Offences are considered "spent" for certain purposes.
Your record is never wiped clean though. Just not disclosed for those purposes where it is considered "spent".
So if you're into kiddie fiddling, that'll always be disclosed for jobs which require a kiddy-fiddling check.
As I understand it anyway. Like mugz said!
@ Urbain, did they actually charge you though? "You're not obliged to say anything but anything you do say may be recorded and used in evidence" etc?
Etizolam is pretty toxic when it's mixed with alcohol, making it doubly a CNS depressant. Don't try this at home or anywhere, kids and adults, aye.
Where I found this out.
Aye. I had one of those 'production of substances' interviews, where they read from a sheet with all those pissy policy questions - ''What yeild were you expecting'', ''what strain were you growing'', etc.
On my last encounter with the police, after my ex called them, after a meph binge, I asked them to check it, and they had no record of it. Weird.
Oh well. Nice! Hopefully they put my file next to yours.
I've mixed it with a few beers on a night out...But I wouldn't want to push it.
took 5 years for a caution to come of my record so it wouldn't show up on a CRB check, that was annoying as for quite a while I didn't have a hope in hell of getting a job as I had to declare that it would come up on a CRB in the application. as soon as it became 'spent' I was getting interviews for almost all of the jobs that I applied for..
I'm shocked that cautions come up in CRBs, that is fucking inexcusable. No opportunity to be found not guilty, yet you suffer all the negative consequences of a conviction (other than the sentence)? Unbelievable.
To receive a caution you have to sign a contract admitting guilt to whatever you're being cautioned for. My understanding of the system of that there are two tiers, both regarding criminal records and CRB checks.
There is a criminal record, which will show up on a CRB check and requires a prosecution (I think). Then there is a caution, which won't show up on a normal CRB check, but for a job which would require you to work with vulnerable people (kids, learning disabilities, joining the plod etc) you would have to undergo an "Advanced CRB check". This will show up any cautions you may have received, which whilst can be considered "spent" are not removed from your record.
That's a bit unlucky Mugz. I mean, who hasn't broken into a local school at some point in their teenage years?
My mate broke in to one and got caught by a policeman playing hopscotch in the playground...
