> Even if you are rich and innocent and lucky, then you will spend a day in jail, and spend thousands on bail and lawyers, and if found innocent you will still have all of it on your record, lost all of that money, a day of your life, the abuse of the police officer and jailors, and there are many situations where answering "yes" to "have you ever been arrested" will disqualify you.
If you have your arrest records expunged you are expected to answer "no" to the "have you ever been arrested" question when asked by an employer or potential employer. It's a stupid system. In at least a few states, they're not even supposed to ask, because it's such a dumb question.
