Recordable offence
From CrimeLine from Andrew Keogh
A recordable offence is any offence held on the Police National Computer as specified in the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000
National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000
National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000 These Regulations revoke and replace the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 1985 (the 1985 Regulations), as amended. They provide for the recording in national police records of convictions, cautions, reprimands, and warnings for the offences specified in the Schedule and for any offence which is punishable with imprisonment in the case of an adult.
National Police Records (Recordable Offences) (Amendment) Regulations 2003
National Police Records (Recordable Offences) (Amendment) Regulations 2003 These Regulations amend the Schedule to the National Police Records (Recordable Offences) Regulations 2000 ("the 2000 Regulations") by making the offences of begging and persistent begging contrary to sections 3 and 4 of the Vagrancy Act 1824, and touting for hire car services contrary to section 167 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, recordable offences.
These Regulations omit the offences of having an article with a blade or point in a public place, sending letters etc. with intent to cause distress or anxiety and improper use of public telecommunications system from the Schedule to the 2000 Regulations as these offences are now imprisonable and therefore are recordable offences by virtue of regulation 3(1) of the 2000 Regulations.
A new paragraph 27 of the Schedule to the 2000 Regulations is substituted as a consequence of the repeal of section 13 of the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1997 (offence of falsely claiming a professional qualification) and its replacement by article 44 of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001.
