x2Originally posted by hyuuga neji:perhaps first time records for petty crimes should be kept away friom the public domain...
as a way of deleting their record...
this gives them a second chance...
if the person does not learn from his mistakes...
then the public gets access to all records...
that is not minor offenceOriginally posted by LuNAtIcfArKeR:yay.... that means they are gonna delete my murder record soon...
i think the main issue is to block off public domain knowledge of 1st timer minor offenders and not repeat offenders. the first timer can arguably to have jsut acted irrationally for the moment or was in need.Originally posted by Nelstar:Theft is considered petty crime if an item of negliable cost is stolen. However, what if in the future, due to his/her disappearing record, the person lands a job as a banker and steals a big sum of money? And what if the affected victims, who had their savings in the bank frozen as the bank is unable to repay them and they need it for emergencies?
It would be unfair to the bank, and the masses who deposited their savings in the bank.
A mistake is a mistake. A crime is still a crime, no matter how small it is.
We should not condone such behavior, by allowing them to erase records, it becomes unfair to those who strictly abide the law and was affected by repeated offenders.![]()
