ws on teh streets earlier... saw this reporter from 95.8 fm... she was askin about views/opinions... sth relating to the deleting of criminal records, of first-time offenders.. of petty crimes..

what are ur views? -
then no matter how many petty crimes they commit after that they will always be first-time offenders since no record???
then if they say they know they not first-time offender, then how they know since records deleted? -
after serving their sentence, they deserve equal chances to get back on their feet

Since it's some first time trival offences, it's ok to delete them away maybe after 2-3yrs time with terms & conditions such as
1) accomplish certain task that will benefits the society
2) good records
3) be a volunteer in some charity organisation
Based on this condition, it will be merciful to give them a chance & allow them to stand on their feets in the society again. -
i'm serving my sentence right now.. in changi prison..Originally posted by kaka_22:Ermm shinta, dun mind me asking....u got criminal record....
no record lar.. why ask? -
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... -
I believe this is where the yellow ribbon movement comes in.
i've not been a criminal before, but I believe the biggest problem these ex convicts face are us, the general public. If we can accept them as they are, understand that people make mistakes, that maybe we should give them a second chance, then it doesn't matter if they are first time offenders or have no criminal record. The documentation is just there for record purposes. -
it is just to make it legal for them not to have to declare in job applications ........Originally posted by FireIce:then no matter how many petty crimes they commit after that they will always be first-time offenders since no record???

it's ok to be caught for making a mistake the first time .....Originally posted by shinta:that, i believe, first time offenders ok lar..
if more than 1 time... den i dunno lei..
but if kenna caught for making the same mistake the second time .....
deserved to be punished for stupidity

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.

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.

of course when we say no police record i assume its not that no records are made but that the records are inaccessible to most pple except say the police and that only if used strictly for crime busting purposes -
how to know if a person has a criminal record har???
