    Theft Under 5000 (Criminal Record Information)
    I recently read this somewhere:

    Although a discharge is not considered a conviction, a record of an absolute or conditional discharge is kept by CPIC and by the charging police agency. The Criminal Records Act states that, except in exceptional circumstances:

    No record of an absolute discharge may be disclosed after one year from the discharge date
    If the discharge is conditional, no record may be disclosed after three years.
    When these specified times have passed, the automated CPIC database is purged of discharge records. Further, any hard copy documents, including fingerprints, are destroyed. In effect, once the purge date has passed, CPIC has no record of the discharged offence. However, a record of an offence for which an individual has received a conditional or absolute discharge remains in existence after the purge date has passed.

    Does theft under 5000 fall under this category of a "discharge", so that my records will be purged after one year, or is there some other circumstance for theft under?
