[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An arrest is simply an officer’s personal opinion that someone has done something wrong.

I am surprised that you found that out.
Usually arrests do not show up in background checks -
Only convictions, mostly felonies.

Anyway, I was arrested in ‘04 for DV after getting into a fight w/an ex boyfriend.
I was young + stupid and learned a ton from my actions.

I work at a public school and it has never shown up in any fingerprint check that has been done.
I spent a night in jail, to “cool off,” but was never prosecuted nor convicted.
I never even went to court to face a judge.

Maybe that is what occurred with this person.
Sometimes people are arrested, taken to jail to cool off, then let go and a lesson is learned hopefully!![/quote]

Friends of mine got in a huge screaming match (no violence) and neighbors called the cops.  Both of them were arrested and spent the night in jail.  Neither was guilty of anything except yelling, but this is standard procedure in DC.  [/quote]
