The conviction date is often earlier than the sentencing date, with a guilty plea. So the SOR starts on the date of conviction and the SOPO/SHPO starts on the date of sentencing. But the spent date is calculated starting on the conviction date, although it can be extended if there is a SHPO in place.

I was always under the impression the start date was the day of sentencing, if someone was made subject to the SOR and a SHPO (in your case a SOPO?) after making a guilty plea, then what duration would be implemented? The judge at sentencing could technically alter the order over ruling any previous judge or who ever drafted the order, essentially making it an amendment?

I 100% agree that the day in which a SOPO was given, or the first day you signed the SOR. SHOULD be the official start date. But clearly those who make up the rules in the first place, can easily bend them to their will.

Hi

I think most will know the events surrounding the "strangeness" surrounding my "sentencing" but I have an interesting question.

I pleaded guilty in Nov 2011 but was not sentenced until sept 2012 and was incarcerated for 4yrs (2 in and 2 on lic).

I know that on Saturday my sentence became spent BUT in reality did my sentence actually become spent in 2022.

I know it is spent now so looking forward to applying for insurance etc but just interested.

Thanks



Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
