nah that's wrong, being charged is public record, even if the gov doesn't have to tell you, it's public information and a private background check will turn it up.
you can have it expunged if it's dismissed or if you are convicted and file some stuff, but as it stands, public record.

It doesn't matter if its public information. Employers are not allowed to make employment decisions based on arrests or indictments.

Says me. I have spent a good deal of the last 5 years studying federal employment law.
Maybe some employers do do this, not everyone follows the rules. If employers are basing hiring decisions on arrests and indictments, then they are setting themselves for a shitload of trouble down the line.
