I'm not familiar with the term "spent," are you asking until it "goes away?" If so - unless the offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday, your criminal record does not "go away" it is ALWAYS with you - forever.
A conviction for shoplifting will remain on the Police National Computer (PNC) until the subject has reached at least 100 years of age. The conviction will show on a basic level criminal record check until it is spent and will show on Standard and Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks until it is eligible for filtering.
Felonies are not removed from a criminal record unless the record is expunged.
Until you lturn 18 years of age, at which time your juvenile criminal record is sealed.
An arrest is not. A CONVICTION for violating a criminal law is. You are innocent until proven guilty.
An "allegation" is an unproven statement (comparable to the word "accusation") and since it is not officially recorded anywhere until it becomes a formal "charge" it should not have any bearing on one's existing criminal record.
Most warrants are FOREVER, or until the defendant dies.
Until you have it removed thru the expungement process.It will never auto be removed.
A caution will be cleared of your recored when you are sixteen if you got arrested when you were about 12-13 but if you get arrested until you will have a perminant criminal recored
A conviction stays on your record forever, unless you receive a pardon (i.e., it is truly expunged.) Even if your case is later dismissed, the conviction will still show on your record, along with the dismissal.
(in the US) Unless your offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday, you will always have a criminal record - it does not "go away" after a certain number of years. ----------------------------- This actually depends on the country you receive the criminal record in. For example, in Canada a criminal record stays on RCMP databases until you reach the age of 80 and have remained crime free for the last 10 years (with some exceptions). If an individual still has an outstanding warrant, is subject to life imprisonment, is a dangerous offender, or is still subject to a prohibition order that has not expired, they must wait an additional 10 years, or reach the age of 100 before the RCMP will remove the criminal record.
Any criminal conviction that is obtained by an adult becomes permanent criminal history, although under certain circumstances a judge can remove misdemeanors from an adult's record for specific reasons (such as employment issues). If the misdemeanor conviction pertains to a juvenile and the juvenile was not sentenced under adult guidelines, then the person's records will be expunged or permanently sealed by the court when he or she reaches the age of majority.
Yes, the initial incident or criminal complaint report is a public record. However, any subsequent police report on a criminal complaint (such as the record of the investigation, interviews, evidence, and any leads or suspects), are not public record unless/until the information comes out in open court as part of testimony.
