Ah, Antoinette, but is it 'just the crime'?? I know a couple of my local
police persons and they are told to put everything on the computer, even
if it is a warning for a misdemeanour...... There is no spent date
either so it just sits there gathering dust (or it did up here until
they changed the rules and started culling irrelevant information)

I believe it for the prospective employer to exercise the
decision/discretion about the proportionality to the crime, not the
Police, who should I believe should be simply recording the facts. The
fact is the crime happened; it is a historical fact that should not be
wiped as though it never happened.

Hmmmm ....... needs to be proportionate to the crime. If the individual
stole a piece of meat for 65p 45 years ago and no further criminal
activity recorded then one would definitely destroy the "conviction
information".
On the other side of the coin, if you have Ian Huntley who had several
"unproved at the time" allegations of indecent behaviour, yes I would
be keeping that data along with the conviction data for ever. Its not
just "applying one rule for all in this category" its about retention
risk management and retention guidelines issued around that risk
assessment.
Lets hope the police modify their procedures to reflect this now they
have won their case. It would certainly go a long way in balancing
information & record management of public information proportionate to
the crime.
