What's the point in answering a specific question with what you reckon might possibly be the way things might possibly be. If you're just guessing....dude, this ain't a pub chat.
-Fingerprints: this is NOT to access your criminal record. It helps eliminate you (or otherwise) if there's a crime on the premises.

-Convictions, for the sake of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, expire after 6 years. However, they do remain on record. For certain jobs, eg Accountancy, working with kids, doctor, there are certain convictions which should be disclosed.
