There are some state law variations on what can be asked, especially in the area of arrests.
I'm not sure, but I think, for example, that arrests for certain crime of dishonesty may be considered for positions where financial security is an issue and that full criminal record checks (that will show arrests) are fairly standard in the child care industry. Do you have a problem with those (some people would, so I'm really just asking).

in this wonderful country it is the burden of the accuser to PROVE beyond any doubt that the crime was committed.

Not quite. In a criminal p[rosecution, it is the burden on the =government= to prove beyond a =reasonable= doubt that a person committed a crime before putting them in jail or fining them. It's a rule to help prevent government abuse. If you commit a crime against another person and the person sues, the only thing they need to prove is that it is =more likely than not= that you did it. Same conduct; different burden.
