You can get arrested without being charged with something though.

Yet what? It's still public record, like anything should be when charged by the state. Transparency is key. Otherwise, we live in an Orwellian quasi-something.

Being arrested, even if it you were innocent and it doesn't lead to a trial or conviction, has very real and harmful consequences to you in the US.

So, it seems that things are Orwellian either way.
