32BA: Effect of infringement notice

You could also call this:

“Infringement notice protects you from getting a criminal record”

If you get an infringement notice, it means you won’t get a criminal record for that specific offence. This is important because it helps protect you from having a mark on your permanent record for a minor infraction.
