Does anyone know what the effect of a police caution plus 3 has, if any? My understanding is that it does not result in a criminal record and is simply a means of requesting someone to attend an interview at a police station and to give the interviewee their rights. Am I right?
:help:
I just Googled it and got this, I don't know if this is what you are enquiring about, but it may help.
I know there are others on here who will be able to accurately answer

Thanks OC. Yeah I saw that and so I think that it is not a 'real' Police Caution that would be disclosed in a CRB check or be damaging in the future??
I havn't interviewed anyone in a long long time but from my understanding a +3 is "come along to the nick for an interview and if you want free legal advice you can have it ( because you are at a Police Station ) .. Codes of Practice etc ... and you are free to leave at any time etc ... it should all be very friendly !
If you want any further advice pop in to your local nick .. if it hasn't been closed down and ask to speak to a detective .... if of course he or she hasn't been put back in uniform ... and I am sure they would be more than happy to help you .... :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Hope this helps !
In order for any caution to be administered the offence has to be admitted.
It can then be used in any future proceedings if re-offending occurs.
It is an alternative to prosecution for first/minor offences.
Without an admission the police should proceed with a prosecution as there must be sufficient evidence to support a court case

To clarify 'cautions'
There are two different meanings to 'caution' in legal terms.
A Caution in respect of the initial question revolves around admissions and an alternative to prosecution.
A caution in the other term is the wording given when formally speaking to a suspect.
It's a requirement of law to warn an individual they don't have to speak to the police if they don't want to but if they don't a court may take inference that hey are keeping quiet not to drop themselves in it!
A further caution is given prior to charge.
So in a nutshell-
A verbal caution is given prior to interview/charge
A formal caution (and caution +) are a formal warning when an admission is given for a first /minor offence. Caution + is part of the 'three strikes and out' for juvenile offenders
Now that that's all been clarified.....
I'm sure that others besides me are dying to know what you've done Andrew....cummon spill the beans you naughty boy :innocent:
Ah! Um, err its rather complicated and involved but was something along the lines of conspiracy to commit murder.. but it was all a big misunderstanding!!
:innocent: :whistling: :yes: :whistling: :innocent:
Ahhhh that's all .....nowt serious then :mfr_lol:
Good luck with whatever happens :wink:
No need to worry about that then .... Just a simple misunderstanding ! :mfr_lol:
I can honestly say I've never heard of a caution + 3. I've heard of a book 3 interview but that's it. We lead sheltered lives out here in the sticks at Bradford it's that quiet here and virtually crime free.
