Original Note:
Neither Johnson nor Sunak were convicted of a crime. Both had Fixed Penalty Notices which are fines paid in return for immunity from prosecution and conviction and do not carry a criminal record. Conviction occurs in a court in the UK, as it did for Louise Haigh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_penalty_notice https://www.gov.uk/tell-employer-or-college-about-criminal-record/driving-convictions https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/partygate-fine-boris-johnson-criminal-record-b2056509.html https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-61083402 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxy1kp73y9o
