Why is it that in the US potential employers can find out whether or not you have been arrested?

It's called Google. That and the burgeoning mugshot blackmail industry.

Basically, you obtain public records of mugshots and arrest records from around the country, post them on your website, and then charge fees to anyone who wants their arrest records removed.

Good grief. How is that even legal?
