What shows will depend on the agency that is looking and the purpose for which the investigation is being done. If the check is being done by any form of law enforcement then most likely any arrests, traffic stops, convictions, and investigations (including if you are the one who made a report or were a suspect for one reason or another). Most likely it will show any and all contact with law enforcement.
If it is for a job then it depends on the type of job for positions that you will be driving then of course they will look at your driving record.
For handling money or security then any felony and some misdemeanors and possibly your driving record.
If you are applying for a job that would put you in close personal contact with the elderly or children then most any conviction will show but not most contact with law enforcement, but any entry into central registry (a registry of contact that involved investigations of abuse, neglect or misconduct with elderly or children) will be found.
Most other jobs will only show felony or serious misdemeanor convictions.

Depends on the state. when I run one in FL, TX, NC or SC the arrest will show up, with the disposition as dismissed. A lot depends on where you're arrested, it's not a perfect reporting system. I had one guy that had a clean record by a state check... when I called the local sheriff he had an arrest record a foot long!
If the records are sealed, they are not supposed to show anywhere. That doesn't always happen though, in some states the one line charge and conviction will show, but the actual court records are sealed so you cannot read about the case.
Your best bet is to call the local sheriff's office and ask them, then call your state police and see what they tell you.

background checks can uncover a LOT of things. Felony convictions, misdemeanor convictions, lawsuits, traffic tickets and arrest records.
That being said, it is against the law to NOT disclose any felony convictions to a potential employer.

Convictions show up on criminal background checks, not arrests. If they are sealed, then they shouldn't come up.

Depending on what Company or is it Government? If it's a large company or Government then disclose that info if it's a smaller company than you have a better chance of not getting "dinged" by it, however if it's sealed than it wouldn't normally show up in a routine back-round check. But remember if it's a very sensitive job then the more thorough the check.

State Background check : No convictions then it will not show up
Fedral Background check: Might show up you were arrested but most likely they will not hold it against you but might if ur convicted.

as a property manager when we did background checks it would depend on what we were willing to pay for, we could get a parking ticket if we paid enough.
