If some one alleges that you have a criminal record they will have show proof of that in court.
Hear say evidence will not be permitted.

I am not sure if I understand your question. Are you asking if you have to be convicted of a crime for it to appear on your criminal record? If that is what you are asking, the answer is no. On a "rap sheet" or criminal record, all arrests are reported. A disposition, or finding of the court (convictions and sentencing information) should accompany all arrest information, but unfortunately, it does not. This means that if you are arrested, it goes on your criminal record, even if there is not finding by the court.

NO. An arrest record is kept with limited access. If you are not convicted in court it cannot, theoretically, be used against you but it still can show on your arrest record.

Yes. But an insurance company can pull information from the court dockets and punish you without a conviction. How's that for America?

Only on the conviction side, the charge sheets are just that, charges which have been filed, and the arrest record is arrests, regardless of the outcomes.
