Whoa there...I havent suggested in this case that any arse making has yet taken place. I was suggesting that when a case comes before the bench, (at which point admission of guilt is requested , ie "how do you plead?" ) , that Judges have the experience to evaluate evidence presented by the police.
A Conditional Caution, however can result in subsequent prosecution if the conditions of the caution are not met within a stipulated period of time.
Why not give us a professional view Dean on situations involving charging some one who has already accepted a caution after admitting guilt to a less serious offence.
