Hi. I was just checking to see when a record would be cleared, as upon appeal, the conviction was quashed (or so we thought?).
Source: AFP
Court: xxxx LOCAL COURT
Date: 29-06-2016
Offence: CTH - USE CARRIAGE SERVICE TO THREATEN SERIOUS HARM
Result: CONVICTED AND RELEASED ON ENTERING RECOGNIZANCE SELF $500 TO BE OF
GOOD BEHAVIOUR FOR 18 MONTHS.
lol you should not threaten people on the internet
10 years for a conviction to become "spent" assuming no other crimes committed since then.
That's assuming OP isn't in Victoria.
where's my f==king aliexpress, courier
"I'll blow up your van!"
A more likely scenario: things got a little heated on League of Legends one night and the OP threatened to locate the offending ruffian and have an IRL discussion with him and/or his mother, while performing acts upon their personages.
What does the conviction was quashed mean?
Were you found guilty or not guilty upon appeal?
"quashed" means annulled, cancelled, etc.
i.e. the appeal was successful and the conviction overturned (but apparently not?)
Jeez where is the Ozbargain forum post where this offence occurred……sounds a real doozy!
My bet is that, at some stage, the OP took the Ozbargainian advice of "bikies" seriously. Yes, I just made up a word.
You can’t make up something I already identify as!
How very Ozbargainian of you.
If you plead not guilty in the original case but were found guilty, then made a conviction appeal there would have been one of 2 results.
Your conviction would have been quashed and a retrial would have been ordered or you would have been acquitted.
Were you acquitted?
Even if you were acquitted then in some but not all circumstances, your criminal record may state the original charge.
What is the context of your criminal record check that revealed the original conviction?
I going to need a MS-Paint diagram for this one
The ten year statement that everyone is making is “mostly correct”
Convictions are shown on your police check for a period of ten years OR if relevant to reason you are seeking a police check.
So some convictions can still show after 10 years of the “crime” is relevant to the industry you are seeking the check for. Think financial crime and going for a job at a bank etc.
I have a 30+ year old conviction for disorderly conduct still on mine (my only offence)Looks like i should follow this up.
10 years m8
In your case, 2026
