This is the danger of hurrying you accept what you otherwise may not. The police are well aware that many people just want to get out of the police station as quickly as they can and I am aware of instances where people are told that if they wish to see the duty solicitor there may be a long wait (which can occur) so if you want to leave quickly this is not the best option...

You generally can't get a caution removed, by accepting the caution you basically pleaded guilty to the offence you were cautioned for. see the last paragraph here.

If this succeeds , and I hope it does, there will be many more wanting the same treatment. I have heard many cases of someone accepting a caution just to get out of the police station,including cases where the person has accepted a caution under pressure and threats of court charges unless they did. Please let us know the outcome.

There is a lesson here if you find yourself at the police station do not agree to anything on the basis that it is the quickest, if you wish to speak to the duty solicitor and there is a delay accept this and wait or you may regret your haste.
