Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks were replaced by Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks in 2012. 'Not Guilty' verdicts no longer appear on DBS checks but other acquittals still do. In the case of a quashed conviction appearing, it will always state the disposal (i.e. 'acquitted').
CRB checks are now called DBS checks. Enhanced DBS checks can reveal allegations and quashed convictions. Chief Police Officers can (at their discretion) choose to include any intelligence they hold on an individual if they believe it is relevant to a recruitment decision. If the police have included intelligence on a DBS certificate, the applicant has a right to challenge that information with the DBS before they show the certificate to their employer.
No. "Quashed" means invalidated. If a warrant is invalidated it cannot be used in an arrest.
YES
It depends on the nature of the conviction, the result of the conviction, the rest of the individual's criminal record and the type of criminal record check being performed:Convictions will never be removed from the Police National Computer (PNC) so they will always show on a police check.Once a conviction becomes 'spent', it will no longer show on a Basic criminal record check. It can take up to 7 years for a conviction to become 'spent' and some types of convictions can never be 'spent'.Once a conviction becomes 'protected' it will no longer show on a standard DBS check (CRB checks were replaced by DBS checks in 2012). It can take up to 11 years for a conviction to become 'protected' and some types of convictions can never be 'protected'.Once a conviction becomes 'protected' it will no longer show on an enhanced DBS check unless the police reasonable believe the information is relevant to a recruitment decision.
A subpoena can be withdrawn or quashed.
Quashed charges refer to legal proceedings where a court formally nullifies or sets aside charges against an individual. This could happen due to lack of evidence, procedural errors, or other circumstances that invalidate the charges. Once charges are quashed, the prosecution cannot pursue them further.
Michael Shields was convicted in 2005 for the murder of a man in a bar in the United Kingdom, but his case has been marred by controversy and claims of wrongful conviction. Evidence later emerged suggesting that he may have been innocent, leading to calls for a retrial. In 2010, the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction due to unsafe evidence. The case remains a significant example of potential miscarriages of justice in the legal system.
Yes, You Have To Pay A Lawyer A Lot Of Money To Do It Though.

The opposite of a conviction is a non-conviction. (See non-conviction)
A warrant lives until it's served or quashed by the issuing authority.
