I have no problem admitting my culpability in my crime, but when the Judge at crown court questions the Police's conduct what does that tell you?
Another chap at my university was charged with Murder due to the Police's questionable investigation. That was thrown out of court, turns out it was 2 smackheads that killed the guy. Poor guy only went to the police station to give a statement of seeing the guy on the night he was murdered, next thing he's in the dock. It only got to day 2 of the court session and the prosecution had to concede there was no way he couldve murdered the guy. And the judge gave the cops a proper reaming in court (through the prosecution) And do you know how long these cases take to even get to court? So this guy had this hanging over his head for a good year.
I'm always bemused when people assume that because there's strict rules...theyre always followed

Bottom line is i learnt from my mistakes, do i hold a grudge? absolutley not, they were doing their job, but the simple fact is they will do whatever they can within the limits of the law (and sometimes outside the limits) to obtain a result. The fact that a Judge finds their methods questionable says alot to me, i'd say he has more experience dealing with the police than any of us.
And then at the end of it all, i'm here in Canada, i have PR, citizenship soon i have a good job that has me travelling all over Canada so i have gotten to see it end to end.

This is the section on the CIC website you need to look at , although I'm not sure if a caution counts as a conviction.

A cuation is NOT a conviction, it is an admission of guilt. Only a court of law can render a conviction. Under the ROA 1974 a caution is considered spent as soon as it is given. Canada immigration recognise the UK ROA and thus this will not render you inadmissible to canada. Declare it on your application, or at a POE but a caution alone is not enough reason to render you inadmissible to Canada.
