Need more specific info to be able to answer the question. What do you mean "without a conviction?" Were you found not guilty? Was the case dropped? Has the case never gone to court? What?
No!
Yes, unless you have the conviction expunged; however, the arrest record remains forever.
An arrest is not. A CONVICTION for violating a criminal law is. You are innocent until proven guilty.
Without much enthusiasm or conviction. Half heartedly.
yes
The likelihood of an arrest leading to a conviction has fallen
A DUI is typically recorded on your record from the date of conviction, not the date of arrest. Once you have been officially convicted of a DUI, it will show up on your record accordingly.
arrest - preliminary hearing - indictment - pre-trial hearing(s) - trial - sentencing.
Criminal arrests and convictions are a permanent part of your criminal record. An arrest or conviction can be expunged or sealed under certain exceptional conditions. It is not often done. The process varies from one state to another, and involves making a petition to the court that presided over the original arrest and/or conviction. The court will usually consider the circumstances of the original arrest, and the conduct of the person arrested since then. Generally, a substantial amount of time has to have passed since the original arrest, and the arrestee must have been a model citizen since. Sealing or expungement of a conviction does not allow you to omit this information from many background investigation processes. A pardon of a previous conviction eliminates the consequences of the conviction, such as restoration of civil rights, but does not remove the conviction from your record.
You would have a warrant out for your arrest.
No. Georgia only allows expungements to remove arrest records, in the event that there was no conviction. Georgia has a pardon procedure available post conviction. It does not remove the conviction from your record.
