In some countries the record is limited to actual convictions (where the individual has pleaded guilty or been proven guilty in court of law), while in others it also includes arrests, charges dismissed, charges pending, and even charges of which the subject has been acquitted. The latter policy is often argued to be a human rights violation, since it works against the presumption of innocence.
