User, I don't differentiate between the two. An unwarranted intrusion from either offends me equally. If they put together a case against you and enforce an arrest it could stay on your record even if the expensive defense you paid for exonerated you. Most employment applications don't want any explanation beyond a yes or no to the question "Have you ever been arrested for something other than a traffic offense?"
