To restore proper civil liberties and remove unnecessary intrusion into peoples lives after 1 silly and out of character mistake.
Being silly some years ago, I broke a window in a bar, nothing like that since, nothing like that after (2004) BUT this stays with you for 100 years. Police Cautions (given to less serious crimes whhere in this case I admitted through caution and paid to correct the damage! rightly so) should be stepped down and not visible on a normal CRB check and should only be available to the police or as part of a enhanced CRB check. The way the law stands at the moment if I want to be a receptionist in some instances I need to declare this! surely one misdemanour shouldnt mean you could be exposed to insurance refusal, job refusal for the rest of your life….
