Does Warnings Stay on Record?

There is no set time that a warning will stay on your record. Some warnings may never go on your record at all, and others could potentially sit in a filing cabinet for decades. Speeding tickets generally stay on your record for about three to five years. What happens if you get a warning from a cop?

Do warnings come off your record?

If you admit an offence, the police can give you an informed warning without going to court. A warning is not a conviction. It stays on your criminal record for 12 months.

Do warnings show up on a background check?

No. If no citation or charge was issued, it will not be on CCAP or your official record, unless it happened at school, then it could on your student record files.
