What happened for you to get caught OP? Often clubs turn blind eyes to this kind of thing.

I don't have a scooby what you should do. But I know what you should not have done: posted anything about it on an internet forum.

I think we should adopt the PH 'punishment should fit the crime' opinion...

Clearly an illegal number plate is a far worse crime than being caught with some coke!

I think I'll start a "Busted by my teacher for mis-using an apostrophe" thread and see where that ranks!

Update:

So I had a voluntary interview today and I have managed to avoid being cautioned. It was decided this would be dealt with by 'conditional community resolution'. The condition being I attend an interview with a drug awareness professional.

Lucky boy.

Thankyou to all who replied.

Netflix may also want to interview you regarding a new series of Narcos, anyone who can move that amount of weight and get away with it must have connections in all the right places.

A restorative justice disposal. That seems a proportionate outcome.

Thats bks.
I have an impressive "CV" and still got SC clearance.
You do have to fess up your sins though. smile

You can pretty much forget about getting a USA visa though.

Part of the declaration for an ESTA is "Have you ever violated any law related to possessing, using, or distributing illegal drugs?". Doesn't ask if 'convicted', only violated. If you tick yes to this then you need a visa. Whether one would get a visa is questionable, and if one did whether one would be let in at the immigration desk is also questionable.

Oh well, maybe you won't be so lucky next time.

Hopefully.

Sounds like a fair and sensible outcome to me.

Thanks for updating the thread.
For such a small amount seems like a big waste of everyone's time.
Can you tell us how/why they took you to the disabled loo, did the club security report you?

Why hopefully? What would you like to have seen happen in this situation?

Wouldn't bother interacting with him, every post he makes is sour, bitter or negative. Some times just simply insulting. Better off pretending he doesn't exist.

on the caution thing - not sure if all cautions are considered equal?

I passed a Investment bank security testing for a decent level job in the same year I had a caution.

didn't make any difference to my life whatsoever

I mean it came up in the interview, I was honest and declared it and explained it and they hired me.
That’s the bank looking at the caution and coming to the conclusion that they will hire you anyway. If it had been a funding of guilt in court, would the bank have made the same decision? Who knows.

IMHO a lot of cautions are given where the police don’t have the evidence or resources to send it to court. So if offered a caution - which appears on your criminal record - it would often be in your interests to refuse the caution and invite them to prosecute.

I believe there was a thing also where a caution is not a conviction its not subject to the same rules of rehabilitation (i.e it can stay on the system longer and be disclosed for a longer period of time for CRB/DBS checks). which for some peopel can be worse than a conviction in the long term.
