OK wantonnoodles before you become rojak , this is how it workswantonoodles wrote:Well.. I really regret my stupid act..
Back to the main point, my IO actually told me I would be given a warning. So do I take his words for it? Or he meant he is going to recommend a "warning" verdict to me?
You have been caught and brought to station. IO will submit the finding to DPP for further action. Upon IO recommendation and depending on your mitigation factors and amount of items stolen and its value, charges will be laid by the DPP. That's all about it.
Based on current practise, if value is small, insignificant and first time offense, either a warning or a fine of max $1,000.00.
If this comes to the wire, you will be charge at the Sub Court 20, if you admit guilty of offense and you paid the fine then you are free to go
If you admit but no money to pay, Jail House Rock about a week
If you deny charges you go to Court 22 or 23 in a months time approx.. If this is so then you engage a lawyer to defend you.
Easy peasy nice and easy
