Military charges can appear on a civilian background check depending on the nature of the charges and the reporting agency's policies. Generally, serious offenses, such as felonies or dishonorable discharges, may be disclosed, while minor infractions might not be included. Additionally, the accessibility of military records can vary by state and the specific background check being conducted. It's important for individuals to be aware of how their military history could impact civilian employment opportunities.
If a civilian is on a military installation the governing authority would be the Military Police and yes you can be arrested by the Military Police until transport by the Civilian Law can pick you up and await charges or court by the civilian authority. Now off a military installation a Military Policeman can not arrest a civilian unless martial law has been imposed by congress.
It would have to be by court order.ADDED: The process is known as EXPUNGEMENT. This process applies only to civilian criminal charges and NOT to military offenses.
"Military arrest" is often used to mean that a civilian is taken into military custody.However, the civilian term "arrest" is termed "apprehension" by the military, being the physical act of detaining a violator of law.The term "arrest" means the notification of an individual that charges will be sought in connection with an offense. In most cases, this entails restriction to quarters while the legal process proceeds.The actual definition is Arrest : "moral restraint imposed on a person by oral or written orders of the competent authority, limiting the person's personal liberty pending disposition of the charges."
Yes they can. The military commitment takes precedence over civilian commitments. If the soldier is called to court they can write to the court with a copy of their orders and reference the soldier and sailors relief act that will delay any court actions until they return.
A violation of Article 112a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which pertains to the wrongful use, possession, or distribution of controlled substances, is considered a military offense rather than a civilian crime. However, similar conduct may also be prosecuted under civilian law, where it could be classified as a felony depending on the specific circumstances and jurisdiction. In civilian courts, the seriousness of the offense and potential penalties would depend on factors such as the type and amount of substance involved. Thus, while not inherently a felony in civilian courts, it can lead to felony charges under specific conditions.
First of all, in order to be placed under military arrest, you must first be a member of the military. Federal law provides protection to private citizens against being policed by the military. In fact, Martial Law must be declared in order for the United States Military branches to have "policing" powers over the general public. As far as a member of the military being arrested, they can be arrested by civilian or military law enforcement for a multitude of offenses. Anything from disorderly conduct, public intoxication, to murder can get you arrested as a member of the military. As a member of the military, whatever charges you face placed upon you by civilian law enforcement, you can face the same charges from the military. Double Jeopardy does not cover you in this regard.

Absolutely. Military personnel - regardless of rank or rating - are not exempt from legal accountability. A four star General or Admiral can be arrested by a police officer if they commit a crime which merits arrest, the same as any lower enlisted personnel or civilian.
As a civilian, you do not have the ability to file charges. Charges are filed by a prosecutor. The police and prosecution will arrest and charge individuals, whether the "victim" agrees with it or not.
