Its a sad commentary on how employment is affected when you have to report arrests vs convictions. From what I understand from this thread even if you are proven innocent through the courts, or you have the charges dropped, you'll still be in doo-doo and potentially barred from many types of employment. Arrests do not specifically mean that you did anything wrong. That's for a judge or jury to decide, and they are not foolproof either. Its fortunate I've not had a problem like this. Can anyone illustrate what will or will not happen when you report an arrest (but no conviction, plea bargain, etc.) on a medical or airline application?
