A criminal record is something that you carry with you for the rest of your life. It could potentially have a lasting hindering effect on your life, especially because the punishment of those crimes has a lasting effect, longer than what may have been intended. The reality is that those minor offences have a much greater lifelong impact than you may have realised. The truth of the matter is that a criminal record will prevent you from being able to move on from that chapter in your life, and leave that part of your life in your past. But what no one tells you, it is easier than most people realise to get a criminal record. One can obtain a criminal record for drunk driving, for reckless driving and endangerment, shoplifting, or even something as simple as saying something that could be seen as defamation of character.

The truth is that even the most minor of incidences will have a negative effect continuing into your life, and this can eventually get to the point where you find yourself unable to obtain employment, unable to travel freely outside of South Africa as they will not be able to obtain the necessary visas required to enter into another country.
