Charges show up as soon as they are reported. In many states, including Massachusetts, pending charges DO show up on what they call your CORI report. They can and do get people fired or turned down when applying for work even when they have absolutely no prior record.

It is clearly stacking the deck. It is essentially a case in society where you are clearly guilty until proven innocent. It is sick, morally, and seemingly Constitutionally wrong, but it is there.
A drop charge may show up on a background check if the charge was filed but later dropped or dismissed.
