There are real consequences if arrested for a crime, even without a conviction. An arrest can remain on your record forever. Prospective employers routinely conduct background checks and ask if you have ever been arrested, charged with, indicted for, and/or received probation in a criminal case. Others do the same, as well as apartment managers who routinely deny applicants with criminal histories from leasing an apartment. The consequences can be far reaching since many employers require you to sign a waiver of your right to privacy so that your records can be accessed- even in college disciplinary actions. Want to join the military to serve your country? Want to be licensed to be a barber, a hair dresser, a nurse, or a doctor?
