It may seem like the easy way out to pay up and put the whole thing behind you but it could land you with a criminal record.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You really don\u2019t want to have a criminal record!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a criminal record comes with serious and lifelong negative consequences. Even an old and long-forgotten minor offence can hang around in the background until it suddenly pops up at the worst possible times \u2013 such as when you apply for a travel visa or a new job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When are you most at risk?\u00a0<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general rule is that you will acquire a criminal record if you are arrested, if the police open a docket and take fingerprints, and if you are thereafter convicted of a crime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem with admission of guilt fines is that they may well leave you with a \u201cdeemed\u201d conviction and sentence which will end up in the CRC (SAPS Criminal Record Centre) database. Although there was talk in the past of the CRC capturing convictions with just your name and I.D. number the main risk seems to still be in having your fingerprints taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s not easy to get rid of a criminal record<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once you have a criminal record, it\u2019s not easy to get rid of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly, you can apply for \u201cexpungement\u201d of the record to remove it from the CRC database, but that option is only available to you after 10 years and for certain \u201cminor offences\u201d. It will also take a long time to process &#8211; \u201c20 \u2013 28 weeks\u201d per SAPS. Note that some specified minor convictions fall away automatically after 10 years \u2013 ask for specific advice.<\/li><li>Secondly, you could ask a court to set aside your conviction and sentence \u2013 costly, not quick and not guaranteed to succeed.<\/li><li>Thirdly, you could hope that planned amendments to our criminal procedure laws will retrospectively come to your aid \u2013 speculative and not yet in the pipeline.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The bottom line &#8211; if you are offered the option of paying an admission of guilt fine, ask for advice before you accept!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px;margin-top:40px\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> The information provided herein should not be used or relied on as professional advice.
